Konica Minolta 7D Review: Unmatched Ergonomics

The Konica Minolta 7D was the first DSLR to offer built in sensor IS or "Anti Shake" as KM dubbed it. This model is long considered by many to be one of the best ergonomics designs for a camera; it's loaded with direct controls, dials and switches. Over 20 years old now, the 6MP CCD still has it's fans and the colour rendering of the Minolta DSLR's is often lauded as one of the best out there. In this detailed look at this semi-pro DSLR, I cover all the important areas, a full body tour, image quality analysis, and overall experience using the camera for an extended period of time.
