Konica Minolta Dimage X1

The Dimage X1 is tiny, stylish and sports a huge 8 megapixel CCD - could it be the best compact digital camera out there?

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 review

Fashionable and shiny compact

Very pocketable and slim ; Excellent range of features ; Takes top-quality shots in almost any conditions ; Extremely natural colour rendition proved

Quality drops off at higher ISO settings

The X1 might look like a fashion accessory but it's actually a very serious piece of photographic kit

Konica Minolta Dimage X1

Konica Minolta Dimage X1 Review and Where to Find the Best Prices. This is a pocket sized digital camera with a square shaped body. It is easy to use and is available at a fairly low price.

Style ; Megapixels for an ultra comapct

Shutter lag ; Average picture quality

The Konica Minolta Dimage X1 looks impressive and with eight megapixels it sounds impressive. Picture quality does not match up though and shutter lag is also a big problem with this camera.
