Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 Looks Compelling
The recently announced Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 looks like a potentially awesome camera.
With CCD-based anti-shake, a 12X optical zoom lens, high-quality VGA movie capabilities, and a host of other yummy features, this could be my next camera. While I certainly don't need 5 megapixels, the other specs seem just about perfect. If it included a remote control and had a swivel LCD on it, I would have nothing left to nitpick about. Well, except for the fact that the Z5 is definitely a weird-looking camera.
Once reviews start coming out, I'll definitely be paying attention. While my current camera, a Canon S1 IS, is nice, it has a couple of shortcomings (e.g., slow/inaccurate focus, bad red-eye, need to have the lens hood on to use screw-on filters) that are getting old fast.
