Konica Digital Cameras Great for the Beginner
At Imaging Resource, you can find camera reviews for most of the major brands and models, including Konica digital cameras. An entire listing of Konica digital cameras, along with a brief history of the merger between Konica and Minolta, is available at Imaging Resource (http://imaging-resource.com/MFR1.HTM?view=Konica). Of the cameras included in the Imaging Resource website, only a few Konica digital cameras have reviews posted.
The Revio, Mini and KD appear to be the only lines of Konica digital cameras commonly available online. Of the two lines, the Revio has several different models available. The Revio C2 is described as ultra compact, weighing just over two ounces without the batteries. This particular model has only 1.2 megapixel shooting capability, but later Revio models offer larger capabilities.
Out of the Konica digital cameras, the KD-400Z represents an important step for the Konica company that had not (up until now) played an important role in the digital photography arena. This particular model, excellent for the novice with point-and-shoot capabilities, uses Media Stick as the media source for memory storage. One of the camera's best features is the compact and "rugged" design. The camera has a zoom lens, but the lens retracts and a cover slides over to protect it. The alloy body should withstand the everyday rigors put on it by most people as they carry their cameras from place to place.
Konica digital cameras are great for beginning photographers who are looking for good features without losing the affordable price tag. Expanded memory is among the features that make the KD500 a good camera, for example. This camera uses both memory stick and flash card to provide roughly twice the normal memory. Other important features include focus lock, red-eye reduction, wide angle and telephoto options, and self-timer.
Konica digital cameras are sometimes found listed as "Konica Minolta" digital cameras because the two companies merged about two years ago. The Konica Minolta Company, according to information on the website, is dedicated to "clarity, creativity, compactness and connectivity." Konica Minolta makes a line of digital cameras and equipment, including photo paper. For more information about Konica and Konica Minolta, visit the company website at http://kmpi.konicaminolta.us.
