Sanyo have just announced the new 5 megapixel Xacti VPC A5, featuring a 2.8 optical zoom lens and 2” LCD screen. DCViews comment “Some of you might think that they have seen this camera before and indeed, a closer inspection of the camera and its specification reveal a striking resemblance to the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50…” So another case of a camera manufacturer “borrowing” another company’s design to cut corners and make a fast buck.
