$950.00
from Gateway Summary: A powerful zoom with a full pro feature set makes this camera a great value. I have shot over 2000 pictures with excellent results during the first two months. After this the camera developed an annoying "err" message when recovering from a power down. Strengths: Superb lens from 28mm to 200mm great contrast and saturation. Detail is very good.
Great controls when finally learned. This is a complicated camera.
Manual focus when needed.
Excellent picture quality when the ISO is set properly to the lighting conditions.
Histogram viewer is a great aid in exposure.
Uses 49mm filters
Program shift feature is a very handy. Weaknesses: Electronic view finder lacks detailed resolution but is usually adequate for composing.
Viginetting at 28mm is common with standard thickness filters.
A bit chunky to fit in camera cases or a brief case.
Must have had a bad chip in mine. After 4 months use the camera would not(in many instances) power back up to a normal view. In some instances I had to remove and reinsert the batteries to return the camera to service. Returned for service and am waiting for its return. Similar Products Used: Nikon 800
Many film cameras Customer Service: Internet service used. Slow sending the return goods forms. A bit non responsive over the web when soliciting the service neede to repair.
Purchased from Gateway and would not recommend them for accessory products. They ran out of the 7I model and optioned me up to the 7HI. No email notification of the run out. I had to check status and the customer service types were clueless as to status. Finally asked for the CSM and got resolution.
