The Maxxum 7D, also known as Dynax 7D in Europe/Hong Kong and Alpha 7 Digital in Japan, is a 6.1 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, or dSLR, produced by Konica Minolta. It was the top model of their dSLR range, with the Maxxum/Dynax 5D, a consumer-grade model, being the other. The 7D was first announced on 2004-02-12 at the PMA show, with full details released just before the 2004 Photokina show on 2004-09-15. The production camera was released in late 2004.

  • The Maxxum 7D, also known as Dynax 7D in Europe/Hong Kong and Alpha 7 Digital in Japan, is a 6.1 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, or dSLR, produced by Konica Minolta. It was the top model of their dSLR range, with the Maxxum/Dynax 5D, a consumer-grade model, being the other. The 7D was first announced on 2004-02-12 at the PMA show, with full details released just before the 2004 Photokina show on 2004-09-15. The production camera was released in late 2004. Production ceased when Konica Minolta announced their exit from the camera business in January 2006. Some people think that Konica Minolta were 'too late to market' with the 7D, regardless of its high specification (for the time) and innovative feature set. It also came with a very high price tag. The 7D was available as body only, but also with a kit lens; a 17-35mm f2.8. Like the Nikon 18-70 kit lens found with many Nikon DSLRS, this lens was regarded as high enough quality to do justice to the sensor within the body; unlike the cheap zoom kit lenses found with many DSLRS. although remaining inventory continued to be sold, alongside the K-M based Sony α 100. The Sony A100 is often compared to the KM 5D with a higher specification, whereas Sony A700 could prove to be the spiritual successor to the 7D. In terms of market position, it is expected to retail for around £1000 GBP; somewhere between the Nikon D300 and Canon 40D.
  • Konica Minolta Dynax 7D — зеркальная цифровая камера, разработанная компанией Konica Minolta. На европейском рынке продавалась как Dynax 7D, на североамериканском — как Maxxum 7D, на азиатском — как Alpha 7D. Фирма Minolta ещё до слияния с фирмой Konica выпустила в сотрудничестве с AGFA модель RD-175, основанную на популярном пленочном аппарате Maxxum 500si в 1995 году, но высокая цена и несовершенство этой ранней модели не позволила завоевать рынок. Konica Minolta Dynax 7D была анонсирована 12 февраля 2004 и появилась в продаже в конце 2004 года. Основные конкуренты компании на этом рынке — Canon, Nikon, Pentax — впервые запустили свои цифровые зеркальные камеры в массовое производство на несколько лет раньше — в 2000—2001 годах. К моменту выхода 7D конкуренты уже успели выпустить несколько линеек фотокамер, отладили технологии и завоевали рынок. Цена камеры была выше, чем аналогов основных конкурентов — 7D в комплектации без объектива оценивалась в $1600, в то время как Canon 20D в $1500 а Nikon D70 в $1000. Главная особенность — матричная стабилизация, позволявшая позиционировать 7D чуть выше других фотокамер. В 2007 году компания Sony, которая выкупила фотоподразделение Konica Minolta, выпустила новую модель, созданную на основе Konica Minolta 7D, получившую название Sony Alpha A700.
