Featuring a high-performance 5.0 Megapixel CCD sensor and the legendary Minolta GT APO lens, it was designed to offer the control and quality of a DSLR in a single, versatile body. The lens is a mechanical masterpiece, offering a 7x optical zoom (28-200mm equivalent) with a bright f\/2.8-3.5 aperture and Apochromatic (APO) glass to virtually eliminate color fringing. With its robust, magnesium-alloy accented body, tactile manual zoom ring, and advanced 12-bit A\/D conversion, the DiMAGE 7i provides the mechanical soul and rich color science that made Minolta a professional favorite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eProfessional 5.0 Megapixel CCD sensor for rich, film-like color rendition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eHigh-end Minolta GT Lens with APO (Apochromatic) glass for surgical clarity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eFast f\/2.8-3.5 maximum aperture for superior low-light performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003e7x Optical Zoom (28-200mm equivalent) covering wide-angle to telephoto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eManual mechanical zoom ring for precise and rapid focal length control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eTilting Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) for flexible framing at difficult angles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eAdvanced 3-point AF system and high-speed shutter up to 1\/4000s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Minolta DiMAGE 7i is the definitive choice for the digital enthusiast who values tactile control and optical excellence. This specific unit (S\/N: 00224648) features the prestigious GT-series lens, an optical formula borrowed from Minolta’s professional G-series SLR glass, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness that rivaled many early DSLRs. Unlike modern \"point-and-shoot\" cameras that rely on motorized zoom, the 7i utilizes a mechanical zoom ring, giving the photographer a more connected and professional feel. Because of its large CCD sensor, it produces an organic, nostalgic aesthetic that is highly sought after by modern \"digicam\" collectors. Whether you are capturing a detailed landscape or a compressed portrait, the 7i provides the mechanical precision and digital character that defines Minolta's professional heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 00224648) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The 7.2-50.8mm APO GT lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches. The mechanical zoom ring and electronic focus ring are smooth and responsive. The tilting EVF and rear LCD are fully functional. The flash fires correctly in all modes, and the CF card slot and battery compartment are clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The DiMAGE 7i was a beast when it came out, and it still feels like a serious tool today. What I love about this S\/N: 00224648 is the lens—it’s an APO design, which was almost unheard of in fixed-lens cameras at the time. The 28mm wide end is perfect for street photography, and the mechanical zoom gives you a level of speed and control that electronic switches just can't match. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that represents the 'Goldilocks' era of digital—enough resolution for great prints, but with that classic CCD color soul. It’s a joy to use for anyone who misses the tactile feel of traditional cameras.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eMinolta DiMAGE 7i Digital Camera (S\/N: 00224648)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eIntegrated 28-200mm f\/2.8-3.5 APO GT Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eOriginal Minolta Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e4x AA Batteries (New\/Installed)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Digital Compact Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eSensor: 5.0 Megapixel 2\/3-inch Type CCD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eLens: 7.2-50.8mm (28-200mm Equiv.) f\/2.8-3.5 APO GT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eZoom: 7x Optical Mechanical Zoom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eStorage: CompactFlash (CF) Type I \/ II\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
