Minolta's 2002 update of the DiMAGE 7 — 5MP 2/3" CCD, 28-200mm equiv manual zoom, 2x faster AF, 1/4000s shutter.

The Minolta DiMAGE 7i was the 2002 mid-cycle update to the DiMAGE 7 bridge camera, keeping the same five-megapixel sensor and 7x zoom while answering the speed and handling criticisms of the original. It sat between the DiMAGE 7 and the later 7Hi at the top of Minolta's digital range.

Core hardware carries over: a 2/3-inch 5MP CCD and the mechanically linked 7x zoom covering 28-200mm equivalent, with RAW capture, full manual control, an electronic viewfinder and CompactFlash storage, powered by four AA batteries. The 7i adds autofocus roughly twice as fast with a 3-point wide AF system, a Flex Focus Point, direct manual-focus adjustment after AF, a 1/4000s top shutter speed, a 7fps Ultra High Speed burst at 1280x960, live histogram and grid overlays, improved LCD/EVF displays, wireless control of Minolta flash units and three movie modes.

The 7i is the sensible pick of the early DiMAGE 7 family for actual shooting: same lens and image quality as the 7 but noticeably quicker and better sorted. It suits early-digital collectors and CCD-colour enthusiasts who want SLR-style handling with a manual zoom ring in a single package.

As with the DiMAGE 7, battery drain is the number-one issue — test on fresh NiMH AAs and make sure it doesn't shut down under load. Confirm the EVF and rear LCD are clear, autofocus locks in normal light, the zoom ring is smooth, and the CompactFlash slot reads cards reliably. Cards and AA power are easy to source, which keeps these usable today.
