Minolta 5d vs 7d, what are differences?
Philip Procter wrote in
news After years with Minolta SLR's I've chosen to add a digital SLR to my system (I already own an A2). What I can't find out easily is: What are the differences between the 5D and the much more expensive 7D? The KM site has a list of the features, but with too much marketing verbiage and crap which obfuscates the truth. What I'm after are things like: Are the sensors the same, do they use the same processing software, Is the anti-shake mechanism the same, etc? Does anyone know if any of the mags has done a side-by-side comparison? I have no local Minolta dealer (nor Canon, Nikon or Olympus, for that matter!) I have a 7D and love it! From what I have read, the 5D has the same sensor and anti-shake system used in the 7D, the biggest differences a * many of the physical controls have been moved to menus. * smaller buffer, roughly half the number of shots in burst modes. * roof mirror vs. pentaprism viewfinder. * 115,000 vs 230,000 pixels on the 2.5" LCD. * no vertical control grip option (?)
