Advantages: Lots of professional features Disadvantages: Auto focus, battery life
...class yourself as a semi-pro.
The Minolta Dimage 7 isn't a brand new camera (it's been around since about July 2001), but it's worth mentioning as they crop up second-hand a fair bit these days. It's original price in the UK was a staggering £999, but typically expect them to go for around £300 now on Ebay.
Even for it's age, the features of this camera are impressive. A 5.24Megapixel CCD outputting a 2560 x 1920 pixel image. Add this to the ...

Advantages: Excellant quality pics,lots of functions,easy to use. Disadvantages: Batteries last about 20 mins if your lucky,Power pack was 50 pounds from jessups.
When i bought my minolta dimage 7 camera it was about 800 pounds and to be honest it is not really worth 800 pounds,its a nice looking camera with lots of different functions but theres so many cameras on the market today its hard to differenciate one digital camera from another.I think the price has come down to about 600 pounds now.try Dealtime.co.uk and search away.

Advantages: Quality, Scope and Versatility Disadvantages: negligible
...However, since I got the Minolta my photography has been revolutionised. It has a wide range of controls for manual to auto most things! In fact I have not found the need to use the RAW or Super Fine quality settings very often. The results from fine quality mode has been so surprisingly good. One small point is the vignetting that cuts the far corners of the frame in wide angle 28mm mode, but it's very slight.
Sure it uses much battery power and ...

Advantages: Facilities, excellent build and feel Disadvantages: Slow Auto Focus, no external flash socket
I have bee a 35mm freek for some years. My first Digital camera was the Dimage 2.3 meg pixel. i must say i was disappointed with this model as i spent most of the time making the images what they should have looked like. then i cought the Dimage 7 in a magazine. I went and bought this camera without reading any reviews at all. I must say its a cracker. Yes it heavier on batteries and the auto focus can be a bit hit and miss, but i don't photograph ...

Advantages: Great resolultion, zoom Disadvantages: Autofocus not too quick
This camera is top quality, one I purchased with the high specifications and incredible zoom in mind.
After looking for a long time for a camera with a decent zoom function, out of the few I found the DiMage7 came up top for picture quality and features - all options can be set to either automatic or manual, with intermediary settings for semi-auto available on most operations as well.
The only downfall I've found so far is the auto-focus. It's ...

Advantages: SLR feel, Digital Disadvantages: Battery usage
This is not going to be a technical review as I am less interested in what knob does what and to what level. I concentrate on a cameras ease of use, feel and ability to supply a great picture. This camera does it all.
If you are used to an SLR and want to get into digital, this is the one to get. It uses much battery power and that caught me out at first, which was a real nuisance. Since then I have 2 sets of MH batteries, a fast charger and 4 ...
