Mike Johnston Goes Digital with the Konica Minolta 7D

Mark Goldstein | Websites | July 13, 2005 | 2 Comments

Konica Minolta Dynax 7DIn his latest “Sunday Morning Photographer” columns Mike Johnston explains why he has recently purchased the Konica-Minolta 7D digital SLR camera.

“I’ve also been impressed by the deep, rich, meaty colors of the Olympus E-1’s sensor. What finally removed that as a major shopping consideration for me is that…well, I like black & white better. Not “best” and not “only,” but better. So I figured that while a color photographer might be more swayed by the E-1, it wasn’t a primary consideration for me. In light of this, I was wholly unprepared for the KM 7D’s superb color rendition. Set on “Natural” sRGB, the colors are beautifully accurate. Flesh tones are outstanding, reds are well controlled and detailed, and all colors are in balance, with nothing over- or under-emphasized. And the camera renders complex hues really well, maintaining color delicacy and accuracy into the deep shadows and bright highlights. This is a real strength of this camera.”

Like this article by ike Johnston. I am tempting to buy this camera. Only Nikon would come up with something in that over all color range.
