HI.
I was wondering where you guys buy the accessories, like remote control, lenses, etc. for your Dimage 7i. I've looked and cant find anything. Help will be appreciated!
If you go to //www.dimage.minolta.com and select "system expandability", then "Flash units & System Accessories" it will bring you to the next page. Click on "System Expandability" at the bottom. This will bring up a chart that shows a bunch of accessories. In the upper right-hand corner are two links:
I have a DiMage 7, which uses most of the same accessories. Which accesory are you looking for? I might be able to suggest places to try (or to avoid).
I think I've finally found something! Go to //shop.minoltausa.com/ In the left-hand column is a box called "Browse Categories". Mouse over the "DiMAGE Digital Accessories" for a whole list of Accessory links.
I chatted with a photographer last night who just came back from an African safari. She told me that the animals were close enough that she didn't have to use her teleconverter on her Dimage 7. Teleconverter? I want a teleconverter! Anybody know anything about this? I just finished a Web site design for a friend and the check is in the mail and already it's burning a hole in my pocket! Hey, it's either camera equipment or Godiva chocolates. :)
Kavey, I also have a Minolta film SLR and YES! The release cable is compatible! I was so amazed since my film camera is about 10 years old.
I have no idea what a teleconverter is, never heard of it in my life. Maybe she meant telephoto...which makes sense, if the animals were so close she didnt have to move the lense to the telephoto position, she could have kept it at wide angle.

Thanks Chiqui, actually, there is such a thing as a teleconverter that attaches to the telephoto lens that will multiply the distance photo length. I actually found some at B&H Photo and I have asked their staff a question about which will work with the Dimage 7i. When I find out, I'll post it here. The one the photographer in the park had increased her focal length to 400mm.
Try this link it is a site where minolta 7series post their comments on various lenses lenses It is interesting I have the oly A200 that I used on my C2100 but have not tested it thoroughly yet.
The best teleconverters have been mentioned. I would like to suggest a best diopter (close up) lens. The 49mm Hoya +5 multicoated 2-element close-up lens.
When I want to buy new equipment, I use www.bizrate.com to search for best price.
