DiMAGE A200 Digital Camera
The new high performance 8.0 megapixel SLR-Type DiMAGE A200 provides superb image quality and features Konica Minolta's Anti-Shake Technology, unique new Vari-Angle LCD monitor, and built-in 7x optical zoom lens. 8.0-Megapixel 2/3-inch Interlace Scan CCD - The new Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 has an 8.0-megapixel, 2/3-inch interlace scan CCD. With 8 million effective pixels, photographers can take subtle, expressive images that capture even individual hairs or the stitches of a suit in sharp detail. These incredibly detailed images can then be transferred and printed onto 10.9 x 8.1 inch paper at 300 dpi. CCD Shift-Type Anti-Shake Function With Anti-Shake Without Anti-Shake Konica Minolta's Anti-Shake function provides a highly effective way to deal with camera shake - a major cause of substandard images, especially with telephoto shots and when shooting in dim lighting. The DiMAGE A200 features a CCD-shift mechanism to stabilize images by offsetting the shaking pattern of the user's hand. This gives unrivaled stability at up to 3 shutter speeds slower than on digital cameras without an anti-shake function. Additionally, with the A200's CCD-shift mechanism you don't get the deterioration in image quality associated with electronic anti-shake systems. And the CCD-shift method does not require extra correction lenses like optical anti-shake systems, so the A200's body remains more compact and light. Vari-Angle LCD Monitor - The 1.8-inch TFT LCD monitor rotates 270-degrees vertically and 180-degrees horizontally, allowing photographers to hold the camera in a comfortable position at high- and low-angle shots while still viewing the LCD straight on. And, because photographers can view the LCD while they get in just the right position for a self-portrait, the DiMAGE A200 is great for taking shots from a variety of different angles . Newly Advanced LSI and Konica Minolta CxProcess III Image Processing - The advanced LSI engine reduces power consumption and suppresses camera noise, while optimizing color reproduction with exceptional accuracy. Konica Minolta's CxProcess III image-processing technology helps reproduce shadows and highlights with outstanding accuracy, so images look natural and true-to-life. The new DiMAGE A200 also introduces a new sRGB color mode (Portrait sRGB) that brings out beautiful skin tones in portraits. Konica Minolta GT Lens and Anomalous Dispersion (AD) Glass - Designed specifically for digital photography, the GT lens is an all-glass apochromatic (APO) zoom lens. The benefits for the user include sharp and clear pictures absent of any color aberration, even when using the large aperture setting. The lens is the heart of the camera and this GT lens has 16 elements in 13 groups. The anomalous dispersion (AD) glass contributes to things like suppressed distortion, and reduced flare and chromatic aberration, while aspheric glass elements work to make the lens compact.
