Guide Review - Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi Digital Camera

The specs of the DiMage 7Hi appear the same as the 7 & 7I, but this third generation camera does have some differences. While the resolution increase is subtle, it does capture sharper images with slightly increased resolution. The DiMage 7Hi also offers greater manual control, as it is designed for the professional photographer. This camera is larger than many digital cameras in its pixel range, but the size combined with the contour SLR style grip help you to stabilize the camera, especially in hand hold situations that require longer exposure times. The Minolta GT lens is higher quality than most digital lenses, even superior to Minolta’s other lenses.
