Konica Minolta

No surprises on the Konica Minolta stand; the star of the show is still the very successful Dynax/Maxxum 7 digital, though there's also plenty of interest in the two newest additions to KM's fast-growing 'super zoom' lineup. The DiMAGE Z5 (5MP, anti-shake, 12x zoom) and DiMAGE Z20 (5MP, 8x zoom) are both claiming 'fastest in class' for startup and focus speed, something we're looking forward to testing in our forthcoming reviews. No news of new digital SLR models or accessories, but we'd be surprised if we didn't see some new lenses at some point in 2005.
