wabe's Full Review: Konica Minolta Maxxum 7 / Dynax 7 35mm Film Camera
I recently purchased a Dynax 7 and on the whole am most pleased with it. However I do possess an infra-red pulse detector - part of a photo trigger beam. Using this I was most
amazed to discover that if you switch the eye-start switch off
the emitter continues to emit infra-red pulses. This can only hasten the life of the (expensive Lithium) batteries used. Incidentally my 800si also behaves in the same way. Of course if you switch the main switch off, the pulses cease - but how often have we all packed away our cameras in their holdall having forgotten to do this.

Recommended:
Yes

Amount Paid (US$): 800
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Solid Enough for a Professional
