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

Bought my 7D a few days ago and I am very happy with it. It handles extremely well and considering the competition from Nikon and Canon I feel I have spend my money very well indeed. Anti-shake is brilliant and even handles my 400mm lens in low light very well, so much so I was amazed with the results in the test I did. All the dials and switches are excellent and placed within easy reach. Love the camera, love the shots and for anonly 6.1MP camera I still can do good large prints with a little interpolation in Photoshop CS if required. No turning back for me!

Problems:

Only issue is that my old 5200i flash is only compatible in manual mode, but it still works if I set the levels correctly, so only a minor drama, and I can check the results immediately after the shot on the BIG LCD screen.
Would have liked RAW to be magnifiable on the LCD so have to have RAW+JPEG set to do the equivalent.
