Konica-Minolta Dimage XG Digital Camera

Konica Minolta is proud to introduce the new DiMAGE Xg digital camera, which offers the mobile user the chance to take high-quality pictures in any place and at anytime. With the proud heritage of the DiMAGE X Series built into a stylishly thin profile, the camera has user-friendly functions that enable you to capture images simply and easily for high-quality results.

The DiMAGE Xg's compact (just 0.8 - thick), unobtrusive body stems from its proprietary, non-extending 3x folded optical zoom, which is a feature that will make this camera attractive among a wide range of users.

Using the onboard Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection, the DiMAGE Xg can automatically select the best recording mode, making it possible for anyone to easily take beautiful pictures. The user can also select the recording mode from the following items manually: Portrait, Sports, Landscape, Sunset. The Night portrait/Night view mode can also be selected, however, only by the user.

With the world's fastest start-up time* of approx. 0.8 seconds, the DiMAGE Xg can realize a rapid shot with a highly reliable shutter, ensuring that you'll be ready to take great pictures right away with no waiting.

This Dimage is only 0.79 inches thick and weighs less than 5 ounces with battery and media installed, so you can dangle it from your neck like a pendant or slip it into just about any pocket. Its solid, elegant-looking brushed-metal body will also go nicely with your outfit. The camera's control layout is logical and generally convenient, although you have to be careful not to block the lens with a finger when you're shooting. Otherwise, we found the Dimage Xg comfortable to hold for a camera of its size. However, if your hands are on the large side, give it a try before buying. more

Minolta really turned heads a little over two years ago, when they first introduced the diminutive DiMAGE X, a two megapixel camera in the form of a square block of metal, just barely over three-quarters of an inch thick. The DiMAGE X's clever "folded" optical system not only enabled the super-thin design, but made for rapid startup times, since there was no need to wait for the lens assembly to telescope out when the camera was turned on. more
