Digital Camera Magazine have just reviewed the new 8-megapixel Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 digital camera.

“The first thing you notice about the images from the A2 is their sheer size. After shooting on five and even six megapixel compacts, the extra gains wrought by eight megapixels are there for all to see on screen. However, things aren’t as rosy as you’d expect when you get up close and personal. The resolution appears to be a little weak, with lines breaking down at relatively close distances (at 20 metres, car number plates start to become unreadable, for instance). In some respects, this analysis is a little unfair, as it?s only because of the enormity of information that you can get in close enough to make these sorts of judgements - at six megapixels, things start to become jagged at these kinds of distances. That said, there’s nothing wrong in pointing out that improvements can be made.”
