Dimage 2300 and a new 3.34 megapixel Toshiba PDR-70. There's also some

Yamada repots that Minolta sprung a surprise with the sudden (unsuspected) announcement of the 2300, a 2.3 megapixel model. That it's price is very low at US$499 for a 2.3 megapixel digicam.
It has a 1.4x and 2x digital zoom (which kinda suggests it's a fixed lens) and a body weight of just 200g, dimensions are 114 x 35 x 65 mm. It has a 1.8" LCD and is capabale of shooting 2 scenes per second.
