A built-in 7x optical zoom lens, faster autofocus, new flash�synchronization�and
superior image quality...
Minolta has expanded its digital camera line with the introduction of the new single
lens-reflex (SLR)-type Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi. Based on the award-winning DiMAGE 7, this
latest iteration has been enhanced with features such as a built-in flash
synchronization terminal making it a versatile digital imaging tool in the studio and
on location, as well as everyday use.�
�With the introduction of the new DiMAGE 7Hi, Minolta makes it easier and more
affordable to bring digital imaging into the studio,� said Jon Sienkiewicz, vice
president of marketing, Minolta Corporation�s Consumer Products Group. �Differing from
its sister model, the DiMAGE 7i, this new camera�s built-in flash synchronization
terminal and extra-fine image setting are sure to please the professional level
photographer as well as advanced amateurs looking for the best digital photography has
to offer. Building on the success of the award-wining DiMAGE 7 series of digital
cameras Minolta is proud to now offer a broad line of high quality digital cameras
each designed for different applications and different users.�
With 5-megapixel resolution, 7x optical/2x digital zoom lens and GT Lens technology,
the 7Hi is a complete digital imaging center that can control all the essential
elements for high-quality photography: sharpness, exposure, contrast, color and
saturation. With 12-bit A/D conversion and Minolta�s image-processing technology,
CxProcess, what you see will be what you get. In addition, image quality choices have
been improved with the inclusion of a new extra-fine image setting.�
The image formed on the CCD is enhanced by Minolta�s exclusive CxProcess image
processing technology to optimize sharpness, color reproduction, tonal gradation and
noise to create clear and natural images.��The wide dynamic range is provided by an
improved electro-optical system with 12-bit A/D (analog to digital) conversion to
ensure natural color and tonal reproduction.
The Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi will be available to consumers in September 2002 for $1,299
(SRP).
Editor''s note: The technology included in this model will likely be part of next
year''s consumer cameras. If you can hold out that long... (drool)...�
