Re: Minolta DiMAGE 7i review

I still have my collectable Minolta DiMAGE 7i which I purchased in October 2002. There was a recall for a defect which was initiated by the distributor. Service was prompt as was the return to use. As an early mirrorless/EVF camera, it produced goof photos--as long as the batteries held out. I used rechargeable AA batteries which kept the cost down. Later models were produced with improved battery longevity, but at greater expense as they were model specific. After Minolta was absorbed into Konica, this camera was supported briefly by Sony -- fortunately I needed to further service, firmware, or software until my 2011 purchase of a Canon EOS 60D with EF-s 15-85 mm IS USM lens -- the perfect all-round crop-sensor standard zoom lens.
