Assessment

The Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D is somewhat of a revolution for digital SLR cameras. For the first time, stabilization was built into the body of an interchangeable lens camera, thus enabling anti-shake for virtually all lenses which can be attached to it. Additionally, the Maxxum 7D was built with superb ergonomics and a large number of direct manual controls.

The 7D produces images with excellent color, contrast and saturation. Noise levels are extremely low and stay lower than most cameras at up to ISO 3200. Anti-shake, low-noise and shutter -speed control (up to 30 seconds plus unlimited bulb) make this the best camera for low-light photography on the market. This camera is also excellent for all types of photography due to its complete set of manual controls and fantastic viewfinder. Although, the Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D is good for sports photography, the Canon 20D has a speed advantage and is worth checking out for sports photographers.
