maxxum 7 vs others

[my_photography]

I don't know. My feeling is the 9 focus area point is better. I have never used Dynax 9 or 7. Read quite a lot on them both. I am using 9xi and am thinking to update. Not sure whether it is worthwhile soing so.

I have the 7 (with the 9 focus points), and I really only use the center point. The camera sometimes makes strange decisions about which focus point it thinks you want, so I usually just center-spot focus and recompose.

Does anyone really need 9 (or even 3) focus points?

I've never used the 9, but I can testify that the 7 is a great camera.

"Do you know about the maxxum á-70?????"

I was unable to access your link, however I believe many Minolta cameras sold in Japan are called Alpha, followed by the same number used in other markets. Therefore the camera you ask about would most likely be the Maxxum 70 in North America. The 70 is still a current camera, a dumbed down 7. I honestly don't know why they would do such a thing. The 7 was IMO the best film camera they produced. (I have never used a 9)
