The new DiMAGE Z6 uses Konica Minolta’s proprietary CCD-shift Anti-Shake system, convenient for telephoto shots and dimly lit situations. This Anti-Shake system compensates to minimize the effect of camera shake, allowing users to shoot with shutter speeds four to eight times longer (2-3 stops) than on cameras without this technology. The DiMAGE Z6 can correct camera-shake without increasing the shutter speed, or raising the ISO sensitivity, which can increase noise.

The DiMAGE X1 employs an 8-megapixel, 1/1.8-type CCD - the highest resolution currently available in compact digital cameras. To take full advantage of this incredible resolution, the X1 integrates a newly designed optical system as well as CxProcess III, Konica Minolta’s top image processing technology that renders images as natural-looking as they appear to your eye.

Trusted Reviews reviewed the Konica Minolta Dynax5D/Maxxum5D and wrote:

“Superb performance, design and handling, fantastic picture quality and a huge range of features and options make the Dynax 5D a very strong contender in the budget D-SLR market. If you are looking for such a camera, this should definitely be on your shortlist. It may lack the 8.0 megapixel performance of the Canon EOS 350D, but it offers a wider range of features and it has the advantage of the excellent Konica Minolta anti-shake system, which is very hard to beat.”

Steve’s Digicam reviewed the Konica Minolta Dynax5D/Maxxum5D and wrote:

“The 5D’s image quality is excellent. Standard settings produced richly saturated images with good contrast and sharpness. Image noise in highlight areas is low at speeds up to ISO 1600, and noticeable but usable at ISO 3200. Shadow noise is low up to ISO 800, detectable at ISO 1600 and noticeable at 3200. Overall, the 5D’s high-ISO noise characteristics are very good for an amateur dSLR, and use of the 5D’s Anti-shake feature allows the use of lower sensitivity settings than other camera’s in its class. “

High-Performance Digital SLR Camera Unites Body-Integral Anti-Shake
Technology and Smooth Operation into a Lightweight Design

Following the release of the highly acclaimed Konica Minolta Dynax7D/ Maxxum7D comes the new Konica Minolta Dynax5D/Maxxum5D, a high-performance interchangeable-lens digital SLR camera that combines Konica Minolta’s advanced technologies and greater ease of use into an even smaller and lighter design.

The Dynax5D/Maxxum5D ensures photo-imaging excellence using Konica Minolta’s proprietary Anti-Shake technology, which employs an exclusive CCD-Shift mechanism to compensate for blurring caused by camera shake - even when taking photos in dimly lit scenes, in natural light with a telephoto lens, or in macro shots where extra stability is vital for a sharp shot. This innovative Anti-Shake technology not only provides the equivalent correction effect with a shutter speed 2 to 3 stops slower*2, but also compatibility with any Dynax/Maxxum system lenses*1.
