In Reply to: Minolta Maxxum 7000 posted by Ray Maltby on April 19, 2000 at 09:18:06:
: I am considering buying a used Minolta Maxxum 7000 from
several different sources. I have a few concerns;
: It seems many of them have led displays which show spotting or
leakage. Is this a major problem? Can these displays be replaced
economically? Any general comments on this camera?
: Thanks.
General comments only--I have owned a 7000 since new and have had zero problems so far. If you are used to other cameras you will find it a bit awkward for a while, especially the lack of an aperture ring. The buttons are hard to find without looking. But, the price is often attractive. It meters well and has most options available on modern cameras. My feeling is that the 7000 is not well protected against moisture and dust, which may explain the range of problems that people have experienced. When or if buying one be particularly careful to see if it has been exposed to the elements and/or rough handling. Get the battery converter (triple A to double A) if it doens't have one.
