Other Problems
The 7D, in addition to having become a collector's camera, and despite what is now a low megapixel number, is known for taking beautiful photographs, what users of the camera call "those Minolta colors". The camera is loved for its manual controls. It did have one problem which appeared to afflict all of the 7Ds at one point in their working lives, development of "first frame black" in which after a period of not being used, the first frame turned up dark. SONY for a while fixed this problem, and so did some private camera shops, but that is pretty much over at this point. However FFB First Frame Blank or Black is often a simple process of turning off and back on, though it can lead to blank frames all the time. More of a problem is missalignment of the sensor, where the sensor is stuck at one of the positions it can take up to counteract camera shake or it fails completely and there is a chugging sound and no picture can be taken. Repairs for this are prohibitive.

Famous quotes containing the word problems:
“Currently, U.S. society has been encouraged by its political and subsidized mass-media intelligentsia to view U.S. life as a continual “morning in America” paradise, where the only social problems occur in the inner cities. Psychologists call this denial.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“...I have wanted to believe people could make their dreams come true ... that problems could be solved. However, this is a national illness. As Americans, we believe all problems can be solved, that all questions have answers.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
