The pace of progress in digital camera development is clearly seen in the evolution of the Konica Minolta ultra compact models, starting from the first Minolta DiMAGE Xt that we reviewed back in July 2003 to the newest Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1, just announced July 2005. In the space of only 2 short years, we have come from a 3.2MP (1/2.7 in. CCD) digital camera to one with 8.0MP (1/1.8 in. CCD) resolution in a body just slightly wider by 9.5mm.

The Konica Minolta X1 loses the optical viewfinder and instead has an extra large 2.5 in. LCD monitor that features a Bright LCD backlight function, which lets you adjust the LCD brightness as needed with the simple touch of a button. The LCD monitor also offers enhanced easy cleaning thanks to a protective acrylic covering.

Because the lens in the Konica Minolta X1 is folded inside the body (hence no protruding lens even with 3x optical zoom), a new Anti-Shake system has been developed that offers 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 focal length.

Optional accessories include: Metal chain neck strap (NS-DG100), AC Adapter Set, Marine case (MC-DG1).

The Konica Minolta X1 is available in a variety of coloured finishes: silver, red and black. For the ultimate in ultra compact design and performance, the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 leads the way with 8MP resolution and an effective Anti-Shake system.
