Kodak Image captain Manufactured in 2001 by Minolta Camera Co. Osaka, Japan. A “SLR-Like” 3.3 megapixel digital camera. Before it was an equivalent of 35 mm Minolta GT to 250 mm (35mm film camera) f/2.8-3.5 lens and a 1/1.8 inch CCD to produce a 3.3 Megapixel 2048×1536 pixels or image. Compact Flash storage was or Microdrive cards. He had TTL metering system to any of 256 selectable metering segments, center-weighted average or Spot mode. This support modes of operation of full program, aperture preferred automatic, automatic and manual shutter preferred full. Special program was also Scene modes: Portrait, Sports, Sunset, night and text. It simulated ISO ratings from 100 to 800. It was NOT interchangeable lenses, but gave the impression of a small 35-mm SLR. Could shoot at approx. 1.1 fps for 4 frames and support shutter speeds up to 1 / 2000 sec. There was no optical viewfinder, which used an electronic viewfinder with an LCD screen always ferroelectric (4.8 mm, 71 000 pixels in 24 bit color) that can be turned upward by 90 degrees, frame coverage of 100%, set diopter and had an automatic mode to detect eye location for the ignition. In short, you could see all the information normally displayed on the screen 1.8-inch TFT LCD in the back of the camera viewfinder, even in bright sunshine! Before high-end accessories such as Minolta dedicated flash units and wired remote controls. You could focus as close as 4 inches in macro mode. Had a small flash that you can perform red-eye reduction or not fill flash outdoors. Detection are used in contrast with the approach, which allows the user to select between 3 “wide area” self-selected areas or Spot AF – flexible focus point (focus point phones). The manual approach was provided by an electronic “focus by wire” ring at the rear of the lens barrel. In short, you can do almost anything you could do with a high-end SLR 35 mm on the market in which, except for the time to change the lens. It was powered by four AA cells for the election of alkaline, lithium or rechargeable NiMH.Dos items of note: First of all, what the lens of a lens! Minolta GT lens is made up of 16 glass elements in 13 groups, two elements to combat sprawl, two aspherical elements and was multi coated. This goal proved to be a real winner of Minolta. It is thanks not only DiMAGE 5, but the 7, 7i, 7Hi, A1, A2 and A200.En Secondly, the Dimage 5 and 7 have the distinction of not having a UV filter permanently on the front of the CCD sensor . What does this mean? With the application of a dark red 092 (89B) Infrared Filter on the front of the camera can take infrared images true!

Those were the times, my friend!
I remember my first DiMage 7 well. Great cam, but terribly slow and an energy consumption beast.
I, however, still have it.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called The Minolta Affair, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
I owned the A2 for a while. Loved it. But it had the 28-200 lens.
Sharp as a tack.
Too bad the sensor was so darned noisy. I had unacceptable grain even at the lowest ISO.
