Imaging Resource Reviews Minolta DiMAGE G500
Imaging Resource have reviewed the 5 megapixel Minolta DiMAGE G500, which has a 3x zoom lens with a range that is equivalent to 39 - 117mm on a 35mm camera.
“Minolta’s latest DiMAGE digicam bears a striking resemblance to the Konica KD-510Z digital camera, no surprise, since it’s essentially the same camera with a new logo. Thanks to a merger between the two companies, the DiMAGE G500 is simply Minolta’s repackaging of the previous Konica model. The dual-slot digicam accepts both SD memory cards and Sony Memory Sticks, a feature that first debuted on the Konica KD-400. Adding to the G500’s attractions are its tiny size and stainless steel alloy body, as well as a high-resolution, five-megapixel CCD.”
