| High-speed image processing is provided by a dedicated LSI that ensures superior image quality, low noise and power consumption, and fast, responsive shooting.CxProcess™ III technology optimizes saturation, edge sharpness, and highlight/shadow contrast for improved color fidelity. |
Features: | •CCD: 6.1 MP Resolution APS-C Sized CCD (1.5X Magnification) This CCD has large pixels resulting in Less Noise & More Sensitivity | •ANTI-SHAKE SYSTEM – Our proprietary CCD Shift Technology allows you to hand-hold your exposures up to 8 times longer (3 stops) without a tripod, and works with existing Maxxum lenses.A convenient 5-step indicator in the viewfinder keeps you informed of Anti-Shake system activity. Displayed at the right side of the viewfinder, it allows you to confirm the amount of camera shake at a glance.Only Konica Minolta offers effective Anti-Shake protection across the entire spectrum of lens performance. Whatever type of lens you're using telephoto, wide-angle, zoom, macro or standard the MAXXUM 7D analyzes data on focal length, current aperture setting, and focusing distance so that it can optimize Anti-Shake performance to offer the highest level of protection. | •BODY CONSTRUCTION: Built on the advanced, rugged Maxxum 7 Body – Magnesium Alloy front body panel and base plate for durability. COMPATIBILITY: Uses the full range of Existing Maxxum Lenses, including macro, wide-angle, zoom, telephoto, and mirror lenses. We are also introducing several new lenses that will be useful with this camera. This Maxxum 7D also uses a wide variety of Maxxum flashes, accessories (such as release cords) and has it’s own dedicated accessories such as the VC-7D vertical control grip. | •LCD SCREEN: BIG 2.5” LCD Screen, plus a bright, through-the-lens optical viewfinder with glass penta-prism.
