Konica Minolta is pleased to announce the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D. This ground- breaking new 6.1-million-pixel resolution, lens-changeable digital camera is the world’s first digital SLR boasting a body-integral CCD-shift, “Anti-Shake” technology that combines enhanced picture quality, performance and improved handling characteristics. The Maxxum 7D is compatible with the full range of Maxxum AF lenses.
The key benefit of Anti-Shake being it can support most of Konica Minolta’s AF lenses. Anti-Shake technology allows photography with reduced blur due to camera shake, even when shooting dimly lit scenes or when using telephoto lenses and shooting macro subjects without the aid of flash or a tripod.
Another key to the camera’s performance are its 6.1-million effective pixels, housed on an APS-C size CCD plus Konica Minolta’s proprietary, CxProcess™ III image process- ing technology that delivers high-definition, natural-looking images.
The camera also boasts a large, easy-to-view, high-definition 2.5-inch color LCD monitor, the large screen handles the tasks of menu navigation and image display, also providing shooting information and camera setting displays. In keeping with its acclaimed Maxxum film SLR counterpart, the Maxxum 7D inherits a similar, simple to use dial and lever operation system. Enhancing handling further, the new model also features a superbly-bright, easy-to-view, high-performance viewfinder designed to be comfortable and easy to use.
In addition, the new digital SLR offers a comprehensive function set, designed to meet a diverse range of photographic challenges and user needs, complemented by a broad range of Maxxum accessories.
