I have been unhappy with this camera ever since the first week I’ve had it. The salesman was standing next to me the first night I used it at a church reception, when I was trying to make a photo for the newspaper. The salesman (Joe) was also using a Minolta Maxx 7D. The shutter stuck and wouldn’t budge. He told me to take out the card and put it in his camera. Then I made the shot I needed with HIS camera and took the new one home. Never could figure out why the shutter stuck that night. Then I took the camera to Charleston last weekend for a conference. Several shots were ruined due to the shutter sticking and refusing to go down. Twice I managed to force the shutter down and two pictures were so blurred the people are unrecognizable. I tried to change the lens on it by placing a Minolta telephoto zoom lens on, one from my Minolta system 9 35 mm. Got the message in the window, “No lens attached.” It was perfectly attached and in place! Then I tried to use the larger flash that came with the 35 mm on the shoe. Flash would not work. Many, many shots were lost due to poor timing by this camera. The salesman refuses to give me my money back. I will have to sell it for whatever KEH in Atlanta offers and it is not much. I paid $1,400 for this plus tax out of my social security check. I feel robbed. I am a former Nikon user and never again will I get a Minolta.

I had been using this camera for a few years. Easy to use, clear pictures, a variety of settings. Then all of the sudden the light metering just went out and I began having a lot of problems with washout due to the brightness of the photos. We tried to work on getting it fixed because I enjoyed using it so much and had so many lenses and accessories for it but it was going to be very difficult and expensive (not to mention being without a camera for months) to get it fixed. So we finally just gave it up. I miss the grip of the camera, very nicely contoured and felt very secure in my hands, though a little heavier than some of the others, yes I did feel the difference. One of the nicer features was that some of the most important features were controlled by dedicated external buttons rather than being buried in the menu system. Nice to be able to just move those around with a finger or a thumb instead of looking through a menu to locate something. Perhaps I was just really used to this camera, but it really seemed quite user friendly in the controls and operations efficency area. If you see one out there at a decent price, it might be a good one to grab.

This is a real bargain right now and soon you won’t be able to get one. Don’t listen to a handful of the negative reviews. KM still exists, but now will be making cameras for Sony. It is supported by Sony and new lenses will be available soon. Digital Cameras are like computers these days. In a couple of years as technology changes, you will want to upgrade the body anyway.
