Minolta Maxxum 7000 Film Camera

this is a very well built camera,solid feels great in your hand.picture quality is excellent with minolta lenses.problem areas are l.c.d. bleed,which means the l.c.d. panel on the camera sometimes bleeds and makes it hard to read,rubber grip turns white with age,this does not affect the operation of the camera.there is also an internal battery which will need replaced at a cost of about $30 overall a great camera which can be found on ebay at reasonable price.

Very easy to get use to. After using a dslr the transition was relatively easy. Great selection of lenses and solid build quality.

Absolutely love this camera! Was even better than I expected! Incredible quality! Takes awesome pictures!
Very clear & crisp

I have a very happy young lady who is going into Photography, she has a digital SLR and now will have a 35mm SLR do do different pictures and double exposures. Her dad had the exact camera so we can now use it for parts!

The pictures of your camera good have been a bit more close up and more angles!

Easy operation, Solid construction, great pictures Auto or manual with the rokkor lens make this one of the all time best cameras you can buy used compared to the new digital SLR which I own four Minolta and Canon you can really get the depth in the photograph!

i liked the features on this early dated camera It is a hands on camera giving you alot of control. I still like using film cameras along with my digital cameras.The camera was in excellant condition. My fist 35 MM camera was a Minolta SRT -101. Early 70 model.

I bought this camera after reading about it on a photography forum, and just had to see what the hoopla was all about. When I received it I was impressed by the camera's weight, this was not your average plastic bodied AF camera.
The AF is a little slow by today's standards, but I don't mind. I have no real complaints about the camera. The camera is a real keeper.

This is a really fine film camera with lots of features. I had a lesser version of the Minolta before that was stolen in a home burglary, and this one was purchased to replace it. I have used three rolls of film in it so far and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Camera looked like it was in good shape and took good pictures. Little problem with the rewind, seller did more than he needed, to satisfy me. Would buy from seller again...

Had heard this was a good camera if you got a good used one. My purchase was in mint condition and works great! Nonetheless, I still prefer similar Canon models. Maybe just because of familiarity with the brand. But, nothing but good to say. I have not experienced any of the problems other reviews report.

The maxxium 7000 is a very good camera for the novice or simi pro, easy to use on full automatic or manual. It uses AA or AAA battery which is easy to find at any store.

Camera purchased was very good and fit my needs with an upgrade. Had a 5000 series which developed a problem but was unable to replace the body. Unit replacements were either lesser quality than mine and when I did find one to bid on, lost the bid by a few dollars. Lost one of excellent quality to an error with my card company. The 7000 takes all my accessories and works great. The only displeasure was with the battery holder which had a slight corrosion problem and does not handle lithium batteries unless I use AAA (4). Recommend Highly. Camera is easy to use and takes great pictures.

The Minolta Maxxum 5000,7000,9000 series film camera was arguably one of the best cameras of its type ever produced. Not only were they ergonomically correct, but had features that many other cameras of the period did not have.
For $300, I bought about $2500 worth of equipment based on 1986 dollars.

I have owned this camera for many years during which I have taken some of the most breathtaking pictures imaginable. This camera is as good today as when it was manufactured over 20 years ago. Everything still works, the pictures are exceptionally sharp, and the camera has never failed me. If you are looking for a good film camera because you just aren't sold on digital or prefer to have both, you can buy one of these on eBay pretty reasonably.

Excellent camera, using the autofocus and multiple frame advance, great for sports photography. Haven't used the programmable cards yet, but so far very satisfied with camera.

Very happy with the 7000 af camera. In fact I've bought 2 in the last few months. I also bought a book to help understand some of the other settings on the camera. In program mode the camera is very easy to use. The more I read and use this camera the more I like it. I also bought a 9000 AF but I seem to like the 7000 much better.

The item was as described in the auctionm I was not disappointed with the purchase. The seller was very honest in everything. The price was also accordly fair. The camera, after cleaning and restored, working fine, no complains. I will buy again from him/her.

I love the easy use of this camera. It is a great looking camera. Picture quality is great and still 10x better than today's boring plain digital ones. You can get these cameras for a small fraction of the original price. No wonder these cameras cost around $450 even twenty years ago. The main word with these old school cameras is quality design and workmanship. I love these cameras and even have a Minolta Maxxum 5000 camera also. Today's cameras can not even compare with the old school ones!!!!

I prefer Minoltas because they are good quality and you know what youre doing with it. I have had this camera for many years and still use it today. Its from 1985 and still works perfectly. It can be auto focus or manual, and can handle a variety of lenses. It takes 6 AAA batteries.

by far the best auto focus camera minolta ever built. the most durable camera and easiest to have repaired. metering system is the sharpest still of any minolta camera i've used. lcd displays are apt to have some bleed and it has an internal battery that needs replacing every several years but both of these negatives do not come close to outwaying all the positives this camera brings to the table.

Agreed-excellent camera and worth having a spare body.

1. Internal battery and instructions are available on EBay from at least one vendor for under $10 with shipping. Use "search" function on EBay; easy to change out.

2. Also: Collectors; look for the MAXXUM name with "crossed XX" as in EXXON's logo. These were the very earliest issued MAXXUM products, before EXXON complained. Bodies-7000,lenses-50mm,37-70mm Zoom[some with Macro] and flash units-2800 are available sometimes for a small premium in price.

I have two crossed xx 7000s that I alternate with an 8000i.

I recently purchased this camera because my dad has one. He got one brand new, with all accessories for Christmas back in 1985 or 86. He has always taken awesome photos. He ended up taking my sisters wedding photos with it, as the photographer she hired didnt have a spare battery and his died right after he got there. She would have had NO pictures if it werent for my dad...and her pictures are just great!
Anyway, great pictures, easy to use. Heavy (which could be a good or bad thing depending on the person)..I like the way it feels in my hands, made well. Auto focus is a little slow and loud, but if you are used to it then it doesnt matter.
I think overall, a great camera, better made then todays cheap plastic ones. Lenses/flashes still available and at a much better price then Canon lenses. If you want some nice pics, program mode or manual to learn with, I recommend one.
