The Minolta 7D was announced 8 years before the HX200V and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Konica Minolta 7D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony HX200V being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the Minolta 7D scores vs the HX200V when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V. The whole galleries are available at Konica Minolta 7D Gallery & Sony HX200V Gallery.

Typically, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Minolta 7D and HX200V.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Minolta 7D using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Sony HX200V will provide you with greater detail with its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older Minolta 7D will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
