It is based on the DiMage 7. With 5.0-megapixel resolution, 7x optical zoom and GT Lens technology and... Read full review »

Quite possibly the PERFECT $1000 Digital Camera

bymcaswell Jul 23, 2002
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros GREAT lens, fast AF, good manual control, tons of features
Cons Some people may not like viewfinder
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased one of these cameras, replacing my trusty Dimage 7 that I'd owned for about 7 months. I really liked the D7 (if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have chosen the D7i as my next camera), but it did have some issues. AF was not as fast as it should have been (though I had learned to...

Cons none so far.
Recommended it? Yes

I have only recently purchased the Dimage7I, haveing read a number of reviews comparing it to it's predecessor the 7, and the problems that had been designed out. My previous digital camera was a Nikon coolpix 880, and after a year of use, decided to change to the Minolta 7I. Once you have used a... Read full review »

Great camera

bybobkoure Nov 7, 2002

Pros Fabulous lens, great pictures, many "35mm pro" features
Cons complex - steep learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

First off, mcaswell did a great review on this camera - and there's no point in repeating what was said. While I'm at it balidoy was unhappy with focus - I have had no such problems and possibly this is a misplaced 7 (not 7i) review?

Secondly, for a community of users, go to the... Read full review »

7i bridges the gap between Point & Shoot and SLR

bymccvii Nov 5, 2003
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great output! Super quality, feels good in the hands. great manual modes, great value.
Cons can be confusing to a new user, onboard flash. 30 Sec bulb.
Recommended it? Yes

Like many others who have reviewed this camera, I am a long-time shutterbug raised on Canon AE's & Pentax K's , ME's and the like. Buying a digital camera has always been a desire but never practical for me because I, like other SLR shutterbugs, am a control freak when it comes to my camera! I want... Read full review »

Not impressed

Pros light weight and plenty of options.
Cons Terrible focus problem along with a few other bugs.
Recommended it? No

I have had my Minolta for over a year now and have been disappointed. I bought this camera to take my free lance photography to a digital level. I looked around but since I had never owned a digital I really wasn't sure what I wanted. I saw the Minolta on ebay.com and bought it with a package of... Read full review »

Luke-Warm At Best

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fairly simple controls, Easy Interface with PC
Cons Poor craftsmanship, Iffy Picture Quality, Eats Batteries Like Candy
Recommended it? No

I had really been banking on the Manufacturer name for a quality camera but unfortunately...

For the price it isn't bad but poor manufacturing materials, random picture quality and auto-focus with a mind of it's own will keep me from buying another Minolta product. As another reviewer... Read full review »

This is my fourth digital camera. After a Mustek D800(a mistake!)and two Olympus cameras, a D-460 and a C-700z, I decided I needed more flexibility. The Dimage 7i offers completely manual operation of both shutter speed and apperature. Also the Auto focus can be manually fine tuned, or you can use... Read full review »

Minolta Dimage 7i

Pros Lots of features.
Cons Easy to produce bad pictures.
Recommended it? No

Compared with my previous camera (a Nikon Coolpix 950), I found this model very difficult to use and was often frustrated by its inability to focus - see under Problems for more details.

I have had it for over two months now and am running into new obstacles every week. I intended to give... Read full review »

Good camera would be great with some changes

Pros Manual zoom is awesome, excellent photos, readily available batteries
Cons Poor low-light performance, bulky, eats batteries.
Recommended it? No

I agree with most of the reviews I've read about the focus speed and overall ease of use given the amazing level of complex settings and tools that are potential to make use of. There are tons of settings that more advanced photographers can take advantage of, and the "dummy" mode for more point... Read full review »
