A battery hungry monster.
Review of Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi by nancyoshea taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Great quality pictures, lots of good features, stylish looking.
Disadvantages A little expensive, drains batteries for fun and a very hard to fathom instruction manual.

...My next door neighbour recently bought a new digital camera for his computer and so he didn't need his old one anymore. His old one was a Minolta Dimage 7Hi camera retailing at nearly £500. When he offered me this camera for £150 I naturally snapped it up. The camera is black and quite chunky to look at and it does look very expensive. It is well built and fairly heavy for a digital camera but what does it work like? Well after taking plenty of photo's in different light variations of most of my family, I found the photo and light quality to be of the highest quality. The built in flash makes short work of any dark shadowy places and the camera takes care of unusually light photo's as well. It has a picture quality of 2560 x 1900 and a 7 x zoom of 200mm. The camera has automatic and manual focus options and the automatic... Read review

Buy it for quality and manual control
Review of Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi by psteadma taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Stunning pictures, easily accessible features and good manual control
Disadvantages A bit bulky and some controls a little un-intuitive

...of operation was also a major issue for me. My old camera took several seconds from turning on to being ready and took a long time to compose a shot. Therefore I often missed pictures. The Minolta however, is ready straight away and focuses quickly, being ready for the next shot immediately (you can select how long, if at all, the captured image remains on screen but this can be cleared with a press of the shutter release). The multi frame feature also works well with Ultra Higher Speed shutter continuing to take photos as long as the shutter release is pressed. There are manny easy to access and useful features including a hotshoe and remote flash socket so this camera is great for keen amateurs and professionals. The CF card slot is easy to access but beware the eject button which is very annoying as you have to take care to fold... Read review
