 Topic: Want to pick up a Maxxum 7D, but...Posted: 06 July 2023 at 15:52 |
Apart from the ergonomics of the 7d , the main reason I still use mine is because off the images that CCD sensor puts out , as was the one in my Sony a100 . Really liked it . The CMOS sensor in the a700 doesn't give me anything that my modern cameras don't . I have an a700 because I wanted one when they came out , but as I'd bought the a100 when it first came out , I could never justify the slight upgrade. I have one now because it effectively came free with a lens I wanted , but I rarely use it , preferring the Dynax 7d . |

You can't go wrong for $30 , if they do work correctly. Check before you hand over your money though. I'd be worried buying if they were to be posted to you unseen . No buyer protection like on eBay . |

If anyone still looking I have Dynax 5D for sale (with Sigma 28-70 3.5/4.5). Got it with a dead battery, no history. Raplaced the battery & charger with new, shot a few shots, and now it just picks up dust because I have few other cameras with lenses that I shoot.
Seems to be working ok, just few rubber port covers missing. PM for more details. Shipping in EU & United Kingdom if needed :) |

I am sure I read somewhere recently that you can claim duties back.
After I had ordered an A77mk2 from Germany, I remembered Brexit...and taxes, and started to wish I had gone for a different one in the US as they are 20% tax as well as Europe/Japan.... when my A77mk2 arrived from Dresden...I had a nice surprise...no customs/tax. Too expensive to be classed as a gift. I have another camera coming from Estonia...let's hope I am as lucky this time. Regards,Rob. |

thanks!
No idea why I'm so geeked about this camera. I honestly can't wait to see what the 500/8 reflex and 80-200/2.8 can do on this sensor! |

Thanks all. I guess I'll keep an eye out for the right deal or skip it. Maybe a Sony A100 would be a better bet, but there's something about old Minolta stuff that appeals to me.
WOOT! So, immediately after posting the above, I checked KEH and found a 5D with battery and charger in Excellent Condition for $102.00. I added their 2-year warranty for $19 more, I figure if I can get 2 years or warranty repair/return out of it I won't complain. That camera was not there yesterday. Not a 7D but, good enough for the fun factor! Edited by Brownie - 08 February 2023 at 00:06 |

I have 2 7D's. One was purchased new after i learned KM was sold to Sony and this body has fewer than 250 shots taken with it.
Did not know of FBB at the time so this body has not been repaired nor does it have enough actuations to experience FBB. I purchased a second body a while later in used condition that had the FBB repair done at Precision Camera prior to my purchase and it came with a copy of the invoice/service info about that. This body did work properly for a few thousand pictures but it eventually started the FBB syndrome again. Also own a 5D that is beginning t experience AS failures. Weird is that sometimes it just plain works and other times it just won't start up or shut down. Seems like if i mount a lens prior to start up, it may work. If i start it without a lens, the AS whirring noise will just continue. |

I've not had great success with off brand batteries. Though the "UP Start" np-400 batteries I was using after the OEM ones gave up were ok. All other replacement non OEM batteries have been dreadful. |

Well, I picked up a Maxxum 7D last year for about $140 from a shop in Minnesota. All worked well and so far no FFB. Whether it was fixed for FFB or not the camera shop couldn't confirm for me, but since it was free from this issue and there was a return policy I gave it a go.
What I really would like to know is who is currently still using a Maxxum 5D/7D, never sent their camera in for the FFB fix and to this day do not have FFB??? There must be some people out there who have cameras with over 30, 40 or 50 thousand pictures that can tell us their camera situation. If you are out there please chime in. Though I have a FFB fixed Maxxum 5D, 2 A700's and an A77MII I'd still like to get another operational 7D. However, I'd really like to know more stats about the people who have camera's still working that never had the fix for FFB. |
