The prices are very close. What the main difference ?

Minolta Dimage A1 5MP vs Minolta Dimage 7 5MP Digital Camera

The Dimage 7 is a much older camera.After the 7 came the 7i then the 7Hi and
now the A1.The A1 features a number of significant changes the most
noteworthy probably being the anti-shake feature which works very well.

It depends on what store you're dealing with at to whether the prices are
"very close" or not. Some are close, while others have dropped the "7"
quite a bit.

As another poster said, the 7 is much older. If the store you wish to buy
from is offering the A1 at around the same price or slightly more, you want
to go with the A1 as it is much newer technology and a superior camera over
the 7.

Hi,

Definitely go with the A1. The antishake feature is definitely worth the
difference. It will let you take hand held pictures 2 stops lower in difficult
light conditions.
Check the review sites like www.steves-digicams.com or www.dpreview.com for

I read the review . Sound like a descent learning curve. Glad to see it
has a vitural keyboard (something I was looking for in a camera). I
needed a way to put a name with a picture. I wish there was a way to add
a 300 mm lens to the camera or larger. Great review.
