Digital Camera Review

Photo Imaging Excellence
The MAXXUM 7D is a marvel of modern technology that draws on more than a century of Konica Minolta expertise in advanced optics, photo processing, digital mini labs, light measuring, electronics, and precision measurement systems. Each element plays an important role in capturing and rendering the high resolution images that turn a split-second in time into a lasting photographic memory. It is Konica Minolta’s high level of technology integration that makes the MAXXUM 7D such a pleasure to use, and the images it produces such a joy to behold. From the camera’s 6.1-megapixel CCD to its advanced processing and optimization controls, the elements work together to assure truly breathtaking image quality.

Large, 6.1-megapixel CCD delivers amazing image detail
A 6.1-megapixel (effective) CCD gathers the high resolution image data you need to produce professional-quality prints that are rich in fine detail. Equipped with a proprietary Konica Minolta optical low pass filter for optimum color and tonal balance, it offers low noise and a wide dynamic range for improved highlight and shadow detail. Designed to maximize the clarity and sharpness of MAXXUM lenses
The MAXXUM 7D is engineered to take full advantage of the advanced optical technologies incorporated into MAXXUM lenses. Aspherical optics, for example, reduce the spherical aberration that can degrade resolving power, particularly on large diameter lenses. Aspherical elements also allow lenses to be made lighter and more compact, and provide excellent contrast even at the largest aperture setting. AD (Anomalous Dispersion) glass also helps improve contrast, and is particularly effective in reducing the chromatic aberration that can occur with high-power telephoto and zoom lenses. Konica Minolta was also the first camera manufacturer to feature multi-coating on its lenses, and today this technology is used to reduce ghosting and flaring on a wide range of MAXXUM lenses.
