Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2Imaging Resource have just reviewed the new 8-megapixel Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 digital camera.

“Another area in which the A2 rises above the competition is in its anti-shake image stabilization system. It’s hard to overemphasize the benefit of image stabilization on a camera with a long-ratio zoom lens. A sharp lens and an 8-megapixel sensor are worthless if you can’t hold the camera steady enough to take sharp photos. - And with 8 megapixels of resolution, it takes surprisingly little shake to produce visible blurring. I don’t have any way of quantitatively evaluating the A2’s anti-shake system, but my gut sense is that it provides about a three-stop advantage when it comes to handholding a camera.”
