Luminous Landscape's Konica Minolta Dynax 7D Hands-on Review
Luminous Landscape’s Michael Reichmann has published a preliminary hands-on review of the Konica Minolta Dynax 7D DSLR.
“I found that AS worked very well. After shooting many hundreds of frames, at least half of which were with the Minolta AF Apo Tele Zoom 100-400 f/4.5-6.7, I found that AS provided at least a couple of stops of additional hand-holdability. I have no rigorous comparisons to offer, only the judgment of my own eyes. But it seemed to me that Canon’s IS, with which I have greater familiarity, provides possibly a bit more stabilization, and also the versatility of being able to select unidirectional as well as multidirectional stabilization settings. Konica Minolta’s offset to this is that the Anti-Shake technology is in the body, and therefore works with almost all lenses (except those with focus limiters, if set), while Canon and Nikon’s solutions require that it be built into special lenses.”
