I want to buy a digital SLR camera however the seller states that when it has been sitting awhile the first picture it takes is black and then it works fine. What could cause this and is it an expensive repair?

Hello Customer (name blocked for privacy).

Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer. I would not recommend purchasing this camera unless you are getting it at a bargain price. Konica Minolta Photo Imaging, Inc. ceased the camera business on March 31, 2006. The camera can be very expensive to fix and parts may be hard to find. With the improvements in digital cameras improving daily there are much less expensive cameras that will take much better pictures than the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D. What would cause the black pictures? Many things from sticky switches to corroded mechanical parts or controls.
