Blackout first frame happened only once so far with my 7D

I own 2 of them with the first frame black problem

I've bought mine recently in 2020 at a great price, and it works almosy flawlessly, I had blackout only once.

Be aware that the 7D uses a CF (compact flash) card

Interestingly, the CF card interface of the camera doesn't support WIFI CF cards, unlike for example the D700, which works great with WIFI CF.

The ergonomics are probably the best of any camera I have ever owned (except maybe the film Maxxum 7)

I fully agree, but, eventually I found these cameras, brutally gigantic, and I simply went back to my lovely A7 (sometimes with the LA-EA4 adapter) just because of the brilliantly small size and gorgeous digital image quality.

As a collector and a fan of Minolta cameras, of course, I'll keep my quite nice collection, I am using these cameras occasionally when I want some nostalgia, but for everyday high quality digital photography and video, I use A5100 and A7.
