The Konica Minolta Dynax 7D (called Maxxum 7D in the USA and alpha-7 DIGITAL in Japan) is a 6.3 megapixel single lens reflex digital camera (DSLR) for autofocus lenses. It features the world’s first dslr-body-integral CCD-shift Anti-Shake (camera-shake compensation), based on piezo actuators. The 7D features a high-definition 2.5-inch color LCD monitor and is compatible with Minolta's and Sony's A mount lenses.
In its handling and picture quality, the 7D was widely praised. But a number of its earlier buyers experienced problems such as repeated "Error 58" messages or backfocus. In the period when these defects were covered by warranty, Konica Minolta had high costs — perhaps one of the reasons for its abandoning of its long camera business tradition. The system flashes for the Minolta Dynax SLR bodies can be used with the 7D.
