Hi David! It's been a while since I last watched any of your videos. I remember the first one I saw, which was about the Minolta 9. I really liked it and I've written to you on a few occasions. Today I came across this video from a year ago about the Konica Minolta 7D, which happens to have been my first DSLR in 2005. I still have one that works despite the famous first frame blackout problem. I see that you still maintain your teaching skills. I just wanted to say hello, you probably don't remember me, but I was someone who lives in Sweden. About the camera, I must say that despite its 6 Mp limitations, it's still a great one. Thanks to its CCD, I usually like the colors more than the modern cameras I have today, and above all, sometimes I use it precisely because of its limitations, it forces me to compose correctly knowing that there is almost no crop possibilities.

The CCD on these, when they still work, is stunning.

Very detailed indeed. But if it was me I would not use time of lenses, batteries and memory card as it is general and not specific for the camera. More relevant to tell difference between P and green P mode. But thanks a lot anyway 🙂

Just to verify, when you turn it on, there's no response if you try to use autofocus nor if you take a photo or press any buttons at all, correct? Also, are you certain that the battery is good? If it's an original, then it's possible it doesn't hold a charge anymore. If you know that the battery is good and if there's no action from any button presses, then the camera's electronics are probably dead or there's a bad connection between the battery or the switch and the board. Either situation is a major repair that will probably cost more than the camera.

Compare the specs and price and see which fits your needs the best. The camera that's best for me may not be the one that's best for you.

The first video in this series should address that and it's linked in this video's description.
