D7i artefact problem - NOT firmware

John Corbett said:

Hi,

Some of you may have read the thread
http://www.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1024&message=3359159

which details a 7i artefact problem.

Well, this was 100% re-creatable on my camera, so today I contacted
Minolta UK support.

I eventually spoke to Corrina and directed her to the 7i bug page
that details this issue,

http://webpages.charter.net/bbiggers/DCExperiments/html/d7i_firmware_bug_list.html

Well, she went away and together with her superior, tried to
recreate the problem on their 7i.......and couldn't!!

She said that she had heard reports of this before and could only
suggest that it was occuring on a particular batch of faulty
cameras and not all of them. Incidentally, the first tech I spoke
to about this problem, stated quite catagorically that it was a CCD
problem!

She then suggested that I return my camera to my retailer for a
replacement or return it to Minolta for repair.

Well, my retailer Jessops(who have been great incidentally!), don't
have any replacements due to the recall of the 7i. Minolta have yet
to provide them with replacement stock. So, they have offered me a
full refund, which I am going to accept.

The question is now...do I risk another 7i or wait a couple of
weeks and pay the difference for a 7Hi??

This is almost certainly a firmware bug and is probably present in
all D7i's. Its hardly serious (the workaround could not be simpler)
and I suspect they will fix it in a later upgrade once they figure
out whats causing it.

On the other hand if I can get a full refund I may just go buy a
D7Hi

I'm not quite sure why Minolta was unable to reproduce the problem,
but it is almost certianly a firmware Issue. I believe that it was
even identifeid to exist in the 7U camera. Now the D7 and D7i
camera are definitely not from the same batch, but what they do
share is Firmware.

It is possible that this problem might not exist on the initial
release of the D7i firmware. I not sure that it was reported on
anything other then the 1.10 fix. It is possible that some common
code went into both the 7U and the 1.10 firmware fix. Because
minolta is so cryptic in their documentation of firmware contents,
it is next to impossible to tell if something they changed could
have caused this problem.

If I were you, I wouldn't send my camera back to Minolta to get
fixed. This problem is not going to go away that easy and if it
turned out to be a hardware problem, they are going to have to have
a recall. If it smells like a fish, swims like a fish, and looks
like a fish, it is a fish and this sure looks like firmware. I
could be wrong, but doubt it seriously and I would hate to see a
lot of people sending their cameras off to be fixed for a month or
more only to be disappointed in the end.

I guess we need to really push this issue with Minolta.

Also I don't want my money back - I bought it from France and

also in euros that will be transformed in £ with respective losses

I've had 6 reports of this, including my two cameras. Everyone who
has tried was able to reproduce it. Seems statistically unlikely
that all 6 cameras all happened to have the bug. Did the tech
actually go outside to take the test shot? It has to be an image of
the blue sky as far as I can tell. Bryan

As I mentioned in my post, I'm also convinced it's a firmware

I'm surprised someone hasn't tested for this problem on a D7i with

It is really unlikely that it is a hardware problem. If you go
back to the orginal thread, you will find that at the request of a
forum member Brian Biggers also duplicated it with that firmware.
The problem exists on the 1.10 firmware for the D7i, but I'm not
sure if anyone has confirmed that it exists on the D7i initial
release firmware.

Yes it does exist in the 1.00 firmware for the D7i.

OK, so far I have not heard of ANYONE who cannot re-create this
problem except one Minolta rep. Secondly, if this was a CCD bug why
would it not occur when magnification was reset to normal?

This is almost certainly a firmware bug and is probably present in
all D7i's. Its hardly serious (the workaround could not be simpler)
and I suspect they will fix it in a later upgrade once they figure
out whats causing it.

On the other hand if I can get a full refund I may just go buy a
D7Hi
