 Our friend, and DIWA colleague, Steve Sanders has published a review of the stylish designed Konica Minolta DiMAGE G600 camera. This newly developed 6-megapixel model features Rapid Response, an ergonomic and sleek design, and is packed with features that appeal to the range of beginners to advanced amateurs. The GT HEXANON Lens delivers high quality photographs and produces stunningly accurate images. These images are then received by the 6.37-megapixel CCD, which provides high-resolution and clarity previously unavailable from such a compact camera. Without any waiting time, the newly developed Signal Processing Engine enables a speedy 1.3-second start-up that has the camera ready in a mere instant.

 According to Steve: "It lacks the scene modes offered by its competitors, but the G600 provides full control of its exposure system; ISO, exposure compensation, sharpness, contrast, saturation and white balance can be controlled via the camera's menu system, and manual exposure allows the advanced photographer to set shutter speed and aperture independently. The G600 will appeal to users who want the simplicity of a point-n-shoot without giving up the flexibility of manual controls.", "Overall the G600 is a good performer. From power-on till the first image was captured measured 2.5 seconds, a remarkably quick time that will allow you to capture unposed spontaneous moments.", and "The G600 auto focus system suffered from the absence of a focus-assist lamp; indoor shots frequently failed to achieve focus lock, and occasionally the G600 gave a false indication of focus confirmation".
