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-controlled interchangeable lenses, featuring the World’s first body-integral CCD-shift, the piezo actuator based ''Anti-Shake'' ([[camera shake|camera-shake]] compensation). The 7D combines excellent picture quality, high performance and superb handling. The 7D features a high-definition 2.5-inch color [[LCD]] monitor and is compatible with all [[Minolta]] A mount lenses. Many of its earlier buyers soon got problems  like repeatedly Error 58 or backfocus. Konica Minolta had high costs with such defects as long they were covered by warranty, maybe one of the reasons for abandoning the camera business.

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 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 all Minolta 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 the camera business.
