At
the Focus On Imaging 2002 show last week in Birmingham Rollei had a mysterious
camera in a glass case. It turns out that this camera is Rollei's latest
foray into the digital realm. The d530 flex is a five megapixel with a
non-removable three times optical zoom digital camera with a true TTL
optical reflex type viewfinder (even has a micro-lens focusing screen).
Curiously the camera only captures in RAW format. Storage is provided
by a PCMCIA slot and playback on a 2.5" LCD monitor. This is a power
hungry beast and requires no less than six AA batteries and is priced
at £1,700 (inc VAT) - approx US$2,000 without taxes.
