Minolta DiMage 7Hi?

[Magnas]

Does this count as a DSLR? If not, I'll have to keep quiet until I upgrade.

Nice idea for a site by the way.

In the spirit of RFF, from which this site was conceived, I am sure we shall all welcome your input, regardless of the camera(s) you own. The only thing is not to get too far off topic. I participated in RFF for several months without even owning a RF camera. I rationalized all this by using my G5 much the same way as a RF.

Magnas, the Minolta DiMage 7Hi could be viewed as a fixed-lens DSLR, especially with the EVF viewfinder. It's a hybrid camera that sits about halfway between prosumer and DSLR with interchangeable lenses. I'm certain no one would mind if you posted some images from it.

I certainly hope it counts as an SLR... I'm counting my DiMAGE 7i :)

[Jorge Torralba]

Is that the one with the stablizer built in?

[DougK]

Jorge, the 7i is the version previous to the 7Hi. I think you might be thinking of either the A2 or the A200, both of which are stabilized and are evolutions of the 7 series.

I guess I forgot to mention that neither the 7i nor the 7Hi are stabilized...
