Konica Minolta Dimage A2 review

 

Konica Minolta Dimage A2

New standard in EVF quality; fast-shooting design and performance; Anti-Shake image stabilization; manual zoom ring; excellent manual focus system.

Inefficient controls for white balance and ISO; 30-second RAW+JPEG shot-to-shot time; nonstandard hotshoe; lackluster continuous-shooting specs; LCD doesn't swivel.

Generally efficient design, top-tier performance, and features galore make the A2 a top choice for resolution-hungry enthusiasts.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 Digital Camera Review: Intro and Highlights

 

The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 is the latest in a family of DiMAGE electronic SLR-style models that stretches back to the original DiMAGE 7, the first five-megapixel prosumer camera, introduced over three years ago (early 2001). As you'll read below, the...

The Anti-Shake feature really works! Of course, how effective it is for you depends on your hand holding skills. The choice of different color spaces and the various image adjustments (in small increments too) available are major pluses. In terms of...
