#Konica minolta camera parts portable#
Even if it is not quite as small as past X-series cameras, the DiMAGE X1 is still a very portable model that will fit nicely in most shirt pockets, and will slip easily into the smallest of purses. Considering the new inclusion of such advanced technology as Anti-shake, the Konica Minolta X1 is very light, at just 4.8 ounces (135 grams) without the battery and SD memory card.
Measuring just 3.7 x 2.7 x 0.8 inches (95.0 x 68.0 x 19.5 millimeters), the DiMAGE X1 is the thinnest X-series camera to date, but is just under half an inch (one centimeter) taller and wider than the tiny DiMAGE X60. The X1's lens is vertically mounted inside the leftmost portion of the camera's body (as seen from the rear), and is unique amongst prism-folded cameras on the market right now, in that it also features an Anti-Shake mechanism that tilts the entire optical unit, including the CCD sensor. With its prism-folded lens design, the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 has an extremely slim body, but overall it is actually the largest X-series camera to date. Read on, and find out whether we liked the the overall result as much as we've enjoyed some of the past X-series cameras. In some ways, the DiMAGE X1 is a departure from what have been some of the mainstays of the X-series.

The X1 is very much representative of the Konica Minolta merger, a slim X-series camera in the shiny reflective skin of a Konica G-series. The body design may be very stylish looking, but is perhaps somewhat less practical, being a magnet for fingerprints and smudges. The high resolution of eight megapixels offers good detail and sharpness, but unfortunately comes at a cost, as the maximum ISO sensitivity is just 200. While a little bigger than, and visually quite dramatically different to its recent X-series predecessors, the X1 will still feel familiar to anybody who's used those cameras - and its new Anti Shake feature is a very welcome addition. This year, the latest model continuing the heritage of the "X" line is the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1. 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. Minolta really turned heads almost three years ago, when they first introduced the diminutive DiMAGE X, a two megapixel digital camera in the form of a square block of metal, just barely over three-quarters of an inch thick. The DiMAGE X1 continues a long line of subcompact "X-series" digital cameras from Konica Minolta.
