The Konica Minolta DiMAGE X60 ($350) is the latest revision of the DiMAGE X-series of cameras. Like the X50 before it, the X60 features a 5 Megapixel CCD, folding lens technology, point-and-shoot operation, and a fast startup time. Changes since that model include the addition of 15MB of internal memory, a slightly more powerful zoom lens (3X versus 2.8X), a larger LCD display (2.5″ versus 2.0″), and a slightly different design. The optical viewfinder was eliminated on the DiMAGE X60.

We have had the opportunity to get our hands on a pre-production sample of the new Konica Minolta Dynax 5D digital SLR camera, in America named as Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D. The new model is the result of the popular Dynax 7D model that stands for advanced technology and high performance. The Konica Minolta Dynax 5D is the little brother that will continue the story of the first Konica Minolta digital SLR camera that was introduced last year.

The Dynax 5D will offer greater ease of use, but this time packed in an even smaller and lighter design. And indeed, the new Konica Minolta Dynax 5D we have in our hands is lighter and more compact than its big brother. Not long after the Dynax 7D was introduced readers around the world were almost demanding an entry-level model. Today, Konica Minolta fulfils the world-wide demand by introducing the Konica Minolta Dynax 5D digital SLR.

The back of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 is just like a mirror, amazing design, truly unique in its appearance! Konica Minolta developed the Konica Minolta X1 to create a digital camera that has it all in terms of image quality, functions, design, and size. The new DiMAGE X1 is the result of continuous restyling and shaping of the DiMAGE X-series digital cameras.

Combined with Konica Minolta’s image technology, innovations and an impressive 8 Megapixel resolution the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 is there to set a new standard for digital design cameras.

Following the release of the award winning Konica Minolta Dynax 7D, Konica Minolta is proud to announce the Dynax 5D, a high-performance interchangeable-lens digital SLR camera that combines Konica Minolta’s advanced technologies and greater ease of use into a smaller and lighter design.

The Dynax 5D ensures photo-imaging excellence using Konica Minolta’s proprietary award winning Anti-Shake technology, utilising an exclusive CCD-Shift mechanism to compensate for blurring caused by camera shake – even when taking photos in dimly lit scenes, in natural light with a telephoto lens, or in macro shots where extra stability is vital for a sharp shot. This innovative Anti-Shake technology not only provides the equivalent correction effect with a shutter speed 2 to 3 stops slower*2, but also compatibility with any Dynax system lenses*1.

Setting out to create “the highest-level digital camera in terms of image quality, functions, design, and size,” Konica Minolta developed the DiMAGE X1. As a fusion of Konica Minolta’s best imaging technologies and the DiMAGE X series’ sleek digital camera design, the new X1 offers you exquisitely beautiful images and greater freedom to express yourself.

A camera of true expressive power, the DiMAGE X1 employs an 8-megapixel, 1/1.8-type CCD - the highest resolution currently available in compact digital cameras. To take full advantage of this incredible resolution, the X1 integrates a newly designed optical system as well as CxProcessâ„¢ III, Konica Minolta’s top image processing technology that renders images as natural-looking as they appear to your eye.

For the first time ever in the X series, the DiMAGE X1 offers Anti-Shake functioning to help reduce the effects of camera shake, ensuring clear, steady shots of scenes that are otherwise difficult to shoot by hand such as in low light situations or indoors. Unlike the A and Z series, the DiMAGE X1 boasts a newly developed type of Anti-Shake system that complements its folded optics and allows for a more miniaturization. Offering unrivalled stability, this new type of Anti-Shake system can provide the equivalent of up to 3 EV to help compensate for camera shake, and is effective for taking shots in low light conditions and using slow shutter speeds around 1/6th of a second at the wide-angle.
