Minolta Dimage 7hi | $529.95 | |  |
When quality and control matter, the DiMAGE 7Hi is the camera of choice. With five-million pixel resolution and a 7X zoom lens, the DiMAGE 7Hi is a digital imaging center that can control all the essential elements for high-quality photography: sharpness, exposure, contrast, color, and saturation. 12-bit A/D conversion and Minolta's image-processing technology, CxProcess(TM), guarantee what you see will be captured. And image quality choices have been refined with the inclusion of the Extra Fine mode, which performs only minimal compression. Other new features you will love: built-in flash synch terminal, expanded shutter range, enhanced burst modes, and luxurious black exterior finish.
Features- 5.2 Megapixel CCD
- The DiMAGE 7Hi is built around a high-precision electro-optical system designed to maximize image quality. The system starts with a 5.2 mega-pixel 2/3-type interline primary-color CCD with 5.0 million effective pixels for fine high-resolution images. The pixel resolution will produce 13 x 17" 150 dpi prints.
- CxProcess(TM) Image-Processing Technology
- Minolta's CxProcess(TM) ensures that the image from the CCD will faithfully reproduce the original scene. The 7Hi's CxProcess(TM) system controls image sharpness, color, and contrast while minimizing noise to produce vivid, natural pictures.
- 12-Bit A/D Conversion
- 12-bit A/D conversion preserves all the image subtleties. With billions of colors and 4,096 levels in each color channel, images possess near lifelike color and detail. This is especially evident in portraiture: smooth complexion, fine hair detail, and vivid eye color.
- Extra Fine Mode
- The DiMAGE 7Hi's new Extra Fine mode creates JPEG files with a compression ratio of 1/2.5. This mode not only reduces the compression ratio, but also enhances image quality with nearly lossless JPEG imaging. Extra Fine mode can also be used for commercial purposes.
- 7X, GT APO Zoom Lens
- A high-resolution CCD is as only as good as the lens in front of it. This Minolta GT lens is a high-performance 7X, f/2.8 - f3.5 apochromatic (APO) zoom. With enough resolution to produce a fine image on a seven-million pixel CCD, this lens features anomalous dispersion (AD) glass and aspheric elements to ensure sharp, high-contrast, and distortion-free images at any focal length.
- Although the lens is a fast f/2.8, 7X zoom, it is about the size of a standard 50mm lens on a 35mm camera. The versatile focal range of 7.2 - 50.8mm is equivalent to a 28 - 200mm lens in the conventional 35mm film format.
- Dual-Focal Macro System
- The DiMAGE 7Hi has a dual-focal macro system that allows the zoom lens to be set at the wide-angle or telephoto position to take advantage of different focal lengths. At the wide-angle position, the larger field-of-view and depth-of-field create a stronger perspective and a sense of space. The telephoto position isolates the subject and minimizes distortion with a narrow field-of-view and shallow depth-of-field.
- High-Performance Autofocusing
- The DiMAGE 7Hi's autofocus system features flexible and dynamic functions that enable it to perform with razor-sharp precision in virtually any situation.
