 I
have just posted a gallery of 27 sample images from a production Minolta
DiMAGE A1. This is in advance of completing our full review which should
be up within the next three weeks. I have to say that I was surprised
at how well the DiMAGE A1 performed, it's clearly a step ahead of the
DiMAGE 7Hi in terms of image quality and is most certainly in the running
to be labelled the best five megapixel prosumer digital camera. Resolution,
sharpness, tonal balance (with good dynamic range) and color response
are all improved. Add to this the A1's unique image stabilzation which
allows you to shoot at much slower shutter speeds and the A1 is a very
impressive 'all in one' package.

There are 27 images in the samples gallery. Please do
not reproduce any of these images on a website or any newsletter / magazine

with this review), I do so in good faith, don't abuse it.
Unless otherwise noted images taken with
no particular settings at 2560 x 1920 (Fine or Extra-Fine JPEG). Images
downsampled to fit into 1024 x 1024 bounds to fit in your browser, as
always the original untouched image is available by clicking on a link

Note that some images were taken in the Adobe RGB color
space, these are labelled 'Adobe RGB' above the image and carry the suffix
of '-a', the smaller image has been converted from Adobe RGB to sRGB,
the original image is Adobe RGB (straight from the camera).

The Everyday Sling might just be the perfect pack for not carrying too much gear, combining comfort with Peak Design's signature modern style.
When the Fujifilm X-T2 arrived, it was more than just a modest upgrade to the already impressive X-T1. While the new X-T3 hasn't changed the overall design of the camera, this model is way more than an upgrade; rather, it's a quantum leap.
