    Good Points: Many many options!!! Creative freedom and the ability to print out a very large print without losing quality. Has a nice feel in hand.


    Bad Points: Definitely not for the easily confused or easily frustrated. This will take some hands on time & lots of reading to fully understand. Not impressed by the battery life nor the fact that it heats up where one holds it.


    General comments: Minolta Dimage 7Hi - Bear in mind this is a recent purchase so I am not rating this after "years" of Minolta experience. As with any new camera, read the book from cover to cover first!!! In the case of this camera, toss that book in right next to your camera because you will have those "what should I do to get this effect?" moments. The memory card that came with mine holds a very modest amount at extra-fine quality so a back-up card is recommended. I would definitely recommend lots of extra batteries (it holds 4) and a charger nearby. If you photograph nature, make sure you remember to turn off all the sound effects or bye bye birdie. It is not the quietest of all the digitals I've played with. For the size it is not too heavy, it has a comfortable grip and the options are fairly handy to get to. I've had a Sony DSC P-50 (my first and easiest digital) for years but wanted more creative freedom and a higher quality. Overall I am very impressed with my new Minolta Dimage 7-Hi. Expect a few months before you really get the basic hang of it. Don't just read the manual (it has a few pages that make you say "huh?") play around with it too, a little trial and error never killed anyone, especially when you can delete the errors!

    Begginers - don't buy this Minolta Dimage 7Hi Digital camera! Not only is it too expensive but it's loaded with various features you'll never use or find hard to cope with.
    This camera is for serious amateurs (or light pros!) that will benefit from loads of very good camera features.
    Here I won't go into specification details as these can be easily found on speacialised sites for reviewing digital cameras.
    The Dimage 7Hi IS a good choice and I never regret buying it. Yes, it takes some time t ...

    The Minolta Dimage 7Hi has features that Canon puts in their 10E, at less cost.
