 Konica Minolta X1 digital camera review : Over the past year we have seen several ultra-compact 5 Megapixel stylish designed digital cameras being introduced, but Konica Minolta managed to exceed themselves with the DiMAGE X1 digital camera packed with innovative technology like Anti-Shake, a newly developed lens-system and a high resolution of 8 Megapixels. The contemporary digital compact cameras have gone beyond just being functional; they have also proven themselves an excellent asset to flaunt. The Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 does indeed qualify as a true design camera, its appearance seems to almost exceed its functionality. We managed to get our hand on the DiMAGE X1 to write an in-depth review about this digital camera.

 DiMAGE X1 - Anti-Shake technology
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.
Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 - CxProcess III processor
To achieve optimum compatibility with its new optics, 8 Megapixel resolution, and 1/1.8-type CCD, the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 uses Konica Minolta's top image processing technology, CxProcess III. With this combination, the DiMAGE X1 is able to reproduce images as clearly and naturally as they appear to your eye. You can enjoy genuine color and tone straight on prints even without manipulation on computers. The Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 is compatible with widely available Secure Digital memory cards or MultiMedia Cards.
Konica Minolta X1 review
The lens of the X1 camera is rather small, but does however have a range of 37-117 mm when compared to a 35mm camera. The fact that Konica Minolta has managed to achieve this, should beyond question be looked upon with sheer admiration. Naturally, a considerable amount of knowledge had already been acquired from the previous models from the Konica Minolta X-series. The Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 has promising specifications and a beautiful design. To see whether these two assets really do form a perfect combination, we have had the opportunity to test the camera for a considerable amount of time. The results can be read in the following Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 review.
