Beste Nederpix gebruikers,hier een vraag van Willem(MACRO)
Ben nu nog in het bezit van een Minolta 7HI.
Maar wil over op digitaal reflex.
Maar wat is wijsheid Dynax 7D, of kiezen voor de Dynax 5D.
Ben nu eenmaal verknocht aan Minolta, kan het ook niet helpen.
Beste gebruikers van een Minolta(7D of 5D) licht voor mij a.u.b. een tipje van de sluier, jullie ervaring(goed of slecht) zegt mij meer dan alle test raporten bij elkaar.
Groeten, MACRO.

Hallo Macro,

Wij hebben de Minolta 7D en het is echt een hele fijne camera.
De camera werkt makkelijk en heeft veel mogelijkheden.
Handig is het grote lcd scherm.
Ik weet niet wat de prijsverschillen nu zijn van de 5d en de 7d, maar het is een tijdje zo minimaal geweest, dat ik dan zeker voor de 7d zou gaan.
Volgens mij is nu het probleem, dat je de camera nergens kunt krijgen.
Het grote probleem waar wij nu tegen aan lopen is....we willen een telelens en die is met geen mogelijkheid meer te krijgen.
Minolta lenzen zijn uitverkocht en het is afwachten waar Sony mee komt.
Telelenzen van Sigma zijn voorlopig ook niet te krijgen.
Wij zijn er zo goed als zeker van dat we overstappen op een ander merk.
Niet omdat Minolta ons niet bevalt, maar als ik een lens wil bestellen en er is niets te krijgen, dan heb ik het echt gehad.
Tja....als ik ik jou schoenen zou staan zou ik afwachten wat Sony doet en nu nog niets aanschaffen ( als dat overigens mogelijk is), maar ja, dat is mijn mening.

Groetjes Colinda

Beste Colinda, wat minolta betrefd ben ik hier niet zo ongerust over.
Er zijn duidelijke afspraken gemaakt met Sony.
In de Dynax 7 en 5 zit al Sony techniek, dus de samenwerking was er al en nu gaat Sony verder.
Als Sony inderdaat de Dynax gebruikers buiten spel gaat zetten verliezen zij niet alleen boze gebruikers(lees klanten), maar zal hun geloofwaardigheid in diskrediet gebracht worden onder haar eigen gebruikers.
En hier zitten tegenwoordig deze grote jongens echt niet op te wachten(zo zit je nog stevig in de markt en zo lig je er uit)
Maar als je wilt overschakelen naar een ander merk, wat moet de body van de Dynax7 gaan kosten?
Met vriendelijke groeten,
MACRO.

Hallo Macro,

We verkopen de body niet.
We hebben toen de prijs zo enorm daalde er zelfs een 2de body bij gekocht.
We kwamen er daarna pas achter dat we geen lens konden krijgen.
We blijven voorlopig fotograferen met deze camera's en toebehoren en gaan als het mogelijk is over op Canon.
Maar ja...een body en de juiste lens kosten de nodige centjes, dus voorlopig even sparen.

Groetjes Colinda

Ik ben zelf in het bezit van de minolta 5d. ook een erg prettige kamera. grootste nadeel wat ik ondervonden heb is het harde geluid van de sluiter. Aangezien ik veel dieren fotografeer is dit frustrerend. Ik woon in de mooie bossen van Zweden waar helaas veel gejaagd wordt, dieren zijn hier dan ook erg gevoelig.........voor kamera geluiden.

ik kocht mijn 5d toen de 7d veel duurder was, nu is het prijsverschil maar weinig.

Ook ik heb besloten om mijn kamera te verkopen omdat het erg lastig is om aan goede tele objectieve te komen. (Voor nikon of canon is dat een stuk makkelijker) en omdat ik een wat 'zachtere' kamera wil.....

succes met je beslissing, Alex

Ben er helemaal uit, het wordt een Minolta 7D.
Ik ga deze kamera gebruiken voor macro fotografie ik heb immers de 7HI
er nog naast(erg fijne kamera)
Als lens de tamron 90mm 2.8 DI MACRO 1:1 volgens de testraporten een zeer goede lens, en het scheelt in prijs op de Minolta lens aanzienlijk.

Konica Minolta withdraw from camera business
Thursday, 19 January 2006 08:10 GMT < Prev Next >


This has to be the biggest and most shocking news before the upcoming PMA show, Konica Minolta has today announced that it is withdrawing from the camera and photo business. They will be transferring assets related to their camera business to Sony who will continue to develop digital SLR's based around the Konica Minolta lens mount. Konica Minolta it appears will continue to work with Sony (a relationship announced last year) in the development of digital SLR's and lenses but they will not be branded as or be sold by Konica Minolta. Full announcement and details of the Sony asset transfer inside.

Press Release (Withdrawal):

Konica Minolta Announces Withdrawal Plan for
Camera Business and Photo Business
Konica Minolta has long been a leading company in photo imaging business covering wide range of imaging from input to output. In addition, we have provided inspiring products and services by fusing our unique technologies.

In camera business, we have expanded picture-taking opportunities by developing innovative technologies such as the world’s first autofocus cameras. In 1962, our camera, well-accepted for its high reliability, boarded on the US’s first manned spaceship “Friendship 7.” Also, ever since introduction of the world’s first body-integral autofocus SLR camera, Maxxum/Dynax series, in 1985, SLR cameras have become more popular among picture-takers, and we have succeeded in selling 16 million units of interchangeable lenses since then.

However, in today’s era of digital cameras, where image sensor technologies such as CCD is indispensable, it became difficult to timely provide competitive products even with our top optical, mechanical and electronics technologies.

In photo business, represented by the silver-halide photography such as color film and color paper, we have produced Japan’s first photographic paper in 1903, and Japan’s first color film in 1940, thus pioneering joy of photography for more than a century. In 1984, we introduced the world’s first compact washless photofinishing system known as a minilab system. The minilabs contributed to the expansion of worldwide photographic market by making photos closer to consumers and amazingly shortening delivery time.

However, traditional silver-halide photographic market is shrinking astonishingly by the surge of the worldwide digitization. In such a changing world, profits for camera and photo businesses worsened in recent years, and it became necessary to drastically reform business structure for the further growth of Konica Minolta. Ever since we decided and announced restructuring guidelines of our businesses on November 4, 2005, we have been considering practical and detailed plan, and we would like to announce our decision made today as follows:

1) Camera Business
In camera business, we have reached an agreement with Sony Corporation(Sony), having numerous image sensor technologies such as CCD and CMOS, to jointly develop digital SLR cameras in July 2005. In order to continue to have our customers use Maxxum/Dynax lenses, and to maximize possibilities of the optical, mechanical and electronics technologies accumulated through development of SLR cameras in the years to come, we came to the conclusion that it was best to transfer assets concerning camera business to Sony. Since then, we have been negotiating with Sony, and as a result, we have reached an agreement with Sony to transfer a portion of assets regarding digital SLR camera system to Sony*1. In this relation, we have decided to withdraw from camera business*2, such as film cameras and digital cameras, within Konica Minolta Group as of March 31, 2006.

Sony is planning to develop digital SLR cameras compatible with Maxxum/Dynax lens mount system, so that the current Maxxum/Dynax users will be able to continue to use them with Sony’s digital SLR cameras. In addition, we will consign camera service operations for Konica Minolta, Konica,Minolta brand cameras and related equipment to Sony.



*1 Pease refer to the news release, “Partial Transfer of Assets Related to Digital SLR Cameras “, separately announced today.
*2 Except for digital SLR cameras and interchangeable lenses produced for Sony.

2) Photo Business
In today’s shrinking photographic market represented by color film and color paper, we have been considering to scale back and to continue photo business at an appropriate size; however, when we foresee the photographic market, it is quite difficult to maintain profitability in this field, and we have decided to withdraw from photo business. As schemed below, we will, as much as possible, avoid causing any inconvenience in providing products to our worldwide customers in the course of withdrawal.

For color film and color paper, while considering our customer needs, we will step-by-step reduce product lineup and cease our color film and color paper production by the end of fiscal year ending March 31, 2007.

For minilab business, we will cease production of the system by the end of fiscal year ending March 31, 2006; however we will have such company as Noritsu Koki Co., Ltd to provide maintenance and customer services so as not to cause any inconvenience to our customers.

*1 Please refer to the news release, “Consignment of Service and Maintenance Operations for Minilabs “, separately announced today.

In line with the above scheme, with consideration to our customers and regional situations, we will step-by-step reorganize our sales offices and withdraw from all of our photo sales activities by September 30, 2007.

3) Personnel Management
As a part of Konica Minolta Group’s restructuring, we will proceed with withdrawal plan for camera and photo businesses and aggressively shifted their management resources to other Konica Minolta Group companies. While continuing this effort, in order to rationalize a number of employees, we have decided to reduce worldwide Konica Minolta Group employees by 3,700 from the current 33,000 including early retirement offering by September 30, 2007*.

* The early retirement offering is for Konica Minolta Group’s holding company, five business companies and two common function companies in Japan.


The expenses to be incurred with this restructuring are already included in the forecast for fiscal year ending March 31, 2006.

Konica Minolta Group will make our utmost efforts not to cause any inconvenience to our customer due to the decision we made this time. At the same time, camera and photo businesses are our traditional businesses ever since our founding, and we wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to the worldwide Konica Minolta fans for their patronage to our products for more than a century.

Konica Minolta Group is aiming to become more powerful corporate group by swiftly meeting market changes and pursuing “selection and concentration”. We will, from now on, be concentrating our business resources on non-consumer businesses, such as the core “business technologies” field, the strategic “optics and display devices” field, and the growth expected “medical imaging” and “sensing” fields, increase competitiveness, and endeavor to further expand corporate value.
