Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D 6MP Digital SLR with Anti-Shake Technology (Body Only) Review

I’ve had my Maxxum 7D since September 2006 and can’t find enough words to say how i love it! I’ve had moments when i danced like a kid who just scored a goal after openning up the images on the computer screen!!! This baby reflects every aspect of my personality and helps me bring out my crazy photo ideas.
I hesitated and was patiently waiting till i could get it all together with the 28-75mm 2.8 lens, my second best was Nikon’s D200, but i decided to follow my dream and i’ve been happy ever after. Sweet!!! 6MP is just fine with me, printing posters the size of a wall isn’t my hobby, so why splash out so much to keep up with the Joneses?! MP count has nothing to do with the quality and a good lens like the one mentioned proves it. The camera is so well designed i barely use the LCD screen, it’s on only to review the shot and get some initial settings done, buttons and dials are so intuitively laid out, one doesn’t have to take his eye off to make an allignment!!! It’s become my arms extention and i now see as if having a viewfinder always on me and the moment i spot something extraordinary i know i can take the challenge – i’m all set for it! Excellent job by KM!
I tried Canon 30D in a store before and after the purchase, surely the results are sweet, but it feels like a toy or like an aoutomatic transmission car compared to a well built solid stick shift! You drive it, not the opposite, that what makes your shots so differnet!
