I mean the this forum, i still have the 7D

Well , it can't take up much bandwidth for DPR , so no reason to pull the plug .

I'm sure there's a lot more people searching the forum than asking a question , seeing as Minolta flogged the imaging division off in 2006 , most things have already been asked in that time .

I bought a used Dynax 7d around 2007 or 2008 as a backup to my Sony a100 , unlike the a100 , the 7d still gets used .

I started with Minolta film with a used Minolta 7000AF in the mid 90's , and I'm still using the lenses now , amongst a lot others on film SLR's and my current Sony DSLTs/SLTs , the a900 and a77ii .

.

Minolta digital , I still use the 7d and DiMage A200 , but also have the DiMage 7 , 7i , 7Hi , A1 & A2 , plus several point and shoots .

.

As long as people still use the cameras the forums still relevant .

I guess DPR knows how many viewings of the forum there is even if people don't post .

There's a few quiet forums , Kodak SLR , Kodak and Casio for example .

The Sony A mount forums a lot quieter than it used to be as well as I guess people have moved to E mount . It seems to have started to change systems since the LA-EA5 came out , with more discussion being centred around E mount cameras using A mount lenses .

I should add that I am predominantly an A mount shooter .

.

No reason to pull the plug on any forums though .
