Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 was first announced in September 2004 and sits just under the DiMAGE A2 in the Konica Minolta pecking order. The DiMAGE A200 has a unique CCD-shift anti-shake mechanism that enables you to take sharp photos at slower shutter speeds than ever before, plus a manual zooming ring that really makes a difference to the handling. Other noteworthy features include the vari-angle LCD monitor, which rotates 270° vertically and 180° horizontally, the 7x wide-angle optical zoom lens that is equivalent to 28-200mm on a 35mm SLR camera, and the 8 megapixel sensor which produces massive image sizes that are perfect for large prints. So do all of these features work together to make the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 a technological tour-de-force, or is the camera less than the sum of its parts? Find out in my extensive review.
