Luminous Landscape Reviews Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2
Luminous Landscape have today reviewed the new 8-megapixel Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 digital camera. Find out just what Michael Reichmann thinks of the third 8-megapixel digicam that he has reviewed.
“It’s hard to really fault the A2’s image quality. Images are crisp, fully detailed, and at ISOs of 64 or 100 virtually noise free. Up to ISO 200 can be used if a noise reduction program is used in post processing. Chromatic aberration is hardly visible, and I’ve seen no evidence of purple fringing.
Prints up to A3 in size are easily made, and even seriously cropped frames can produce very nice 8X10” prints.
While a 6MP DSLR will produce somewhat better images, they will not print as large without ressing up, and for may users the difference will not be that significant.”

His comment goes very well into this month poll,
"In the meantime I'm comfortable in saying that just about every 6MP DSLR on the market will produce superior image quality to the 8MP cameras that I've tested so far."

The important word here is DSLR, with their larger sensors and less noisy images. On the other hand, event the cheapest DSLR and a few lenses will cost more than the 8MP cameras. Swings and roundabouts!
