My 7D needs the sensor replaced. I passed by today and Wolf Camera is not an option. I Googled '7D Sensor replacement' along with other keywords to no avail. If anyone knows of a shop I can send it to or, at least, call for a price......it would be appreciated.

Check Konica-Minolta's website to see who they recommend. You don't wanna send it to just anyone

Try Sony's website. They bought out Konica-Minolta.

You can try contacting Minolta USA, but I doubt you'll have much luck. The camera was released 3 years ago and Minolta is now owned by Sony.
Might be time for a new camera, I heard good things about the new Sony's. All your lenses should work too.
Good luck. |

I first used Southern Photo Technical Service because they are local. I am fortunate that a local company has been able to provide me with excellent service. Be patient with the people who answer the phone as it is sometimes difficult to communicate to them about what you want. But the technicians are fantastic. Good work without delay. I wish the prices were better, but otherwise they are great.
I use the shop in Miami, so try that number first.

Thanks for quick replies. I knew Sony bought them out and was trying to avoid dealing with them directly. They have a flat rate repair amount of $281 + taxes, this includes shipping. Wolf has a flat rate repair amount of $343. It seems that repairing it won't be an option.
Scarbrd: I already bought Sony Alpha. I wanted to repair the 7D also. It appears now after checking repair prices, I'm not sure it'll be worth it.

What's up with the sensor? Just scratched bad? Convert it to IR , remove the sensor cover/LP filter/micro lens thingee.
Don't know which Minolta used.
If the sensor is blown, maybe you can get a few bucks selling it on eBay as a parts body.
