2002, 2200 GMT: Minolta has today announced the DiMAGE Xi, a three
megapixel update to the ultra-compact DiMAGE X. "The new Minolta
DiMAGE Xi is approximately ¾ of an inch thick and shares the same
revolutionary folded 3x optical zoom lens as the DiMAGE X. Making a camera
this thin would be impossible with conventional zoom lens technology.
". Phil: Personally I'm a little concerned that a lens system which
couldn't deliver particularly sharp 2 megapixel images will be even weaker
with a 3 megapixel sensor, it will be an interesting camera to review.
