Congrats on your "new" camera Moises, I'm sure you'll make good use of it. apotelyt worked fine with two files I checked and gave consistent results with PIE (a shareware tool I use) Does it have a "silent shutter" option, I noticed on my A7Rii that when I use silent shutter it doesn't increase the shutter count (rightfully so, because nothing moved) so with that camera my file numbers increase faster than the shutter count. |

Feeling nostalgic
I have some books/magazines/brochures but too lazy to dig them up so these are based on google results. My photography as a hobby started with Minolta so please bear with me.Minolta's camera journey began in 1928 when Kazuo Tashima founded the company, initially as Nichi-Doku Shashinki Shōten (Japanese-German Camera Store), and they later adopted the name Minolta in 1931. I acquired my first Minolta film SLR - the x300s (1990) in the late 90s. 2000 - Minolta Dynax 7 film camera was released. Forgot when I bought this from a local Minolta fan. He was the one who gave me a binder of Minolta brochures :D Got it after I got the KM5D. 2003 - Konica Minolta was formed through a merger 2004 - Konica Minolta 7D was released. I acquired this some time 2006 through ebay. Unit already dead :( 2005 - Konica Minolta 5D was released. I acquired it some time 2007. Forgot what I did with my unit 2006 - Sony acquired Konica Minolta's camera and photo business, including the Minolta A-mount lens system, which Sony then used for its own "Sony α" digital SLR system. 2007 - Sony A700 released. I acquired some time 2008. 2025 - my unit's AF died. Unit is still taking pictures though. 2010 - Sony's first SLT (Single-Lens Translucent) cameras announced - the A33 and A55. 2012 - Sony A99 was released 2013 - Sony A58 was released 2022 - A-mount discontinued  2025 - A700's AF died but decided to continue w my A-mount lenses instead of selling them. Acquired the A58 (local marketplace) and just yesterday received the A99 (ebay) which apparently is in very good (if not great!) condition I dont think I'll ever transition to E-mount since I also have M43 system.The KM7D still feels very solid and very comfortable on my hands Some pics       I then feel old like the Dynax 7  Cheers |

I'm glad the a-mount is dead.
Why? That's what made it possible for me to get a a850 in perfect condition for $250 last week. I love ZOMBIE cameras! |
