This firmware update was of special interest to us because (a) it appeared not long after we had posted our review and (b) it addresses several performance issues raised in our review. Hence we have now updated our 7D review with results from our 7D with the new firmware. The main highlights are improved USB 2.0 transfer (3.4x faster) and much faster CF throughput (between 3.2x and 6.8x faster)."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/KonicaMinolta7D.jpg" /><br /><br />Well it appears that all the bad press about the new Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D was due to some problems that have since been fixed. Check out the updated review at DP Review and read about what I think is a great camera. Putting the Anti-Shake stabilization system in the camera, rather than the lenses makes them much cheaper compared to Nikon or Canon lenses.
