I noticed, in a double-page price listing ad of a respected national retailer in the UK (appearing in the just-published weekly issue of Amateur Photographer here in the UK) that the Konica KD420Z was listed - flagged "new!" and £50 more than the also-listed KD410Z. I'm guessing that this is likely to be a 4MP version of the KD510Z, with its extended user controls. Maybe in some markets this will be a Minolta G400?

Also listed, at £100 more than the C5050Z, was the Olympus C5060Z.

Since the known models are also listed, these don't look like accidental typesetting errors, and I think it's perhaps quite a promising indication that these two models are going to be launched imminently, since with a weekly publication I'd imagine it's quite easy for an advertiser to miscalculate the lead time between placing an ad and it appearing in print.

I'm assuming you didn't see this thread in the News Discussion forum:

Looks definite that this camera is coming very soon. Let's hope that it does indeed have those extended controls!
