Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D (Alpha-7 Digital / Dynax 7D) review

I have been through three 7D in18 months. I would say none of them manged more than 7000 shots. Its a pity the build quality was not up to the job, as image quality and general use these are superb.

I suspect amertue use, in good conditions the camera would last better, but as a Pro you have to work in what ever the conditions are.

I also have destryoyed 700si,800si and even the Dynax 9. I was the first in the Uk to break one of these!

Sadly i will now be switching from minolta to Nikkon, Sony UK are not doing a good enough of job for me as a pro.

Problems:

See above, three camera / sensor failed in 18 months.
