MINOLTA DIMAGE 5 DIGITAL CAMERA
Shopping for the Minolta Dimage 5 Digital Camera?
Offers a taste of professional performance at a more affordable price.
High Resolution CCD
Featured on the new DiMAGE5 is a 1/1.8 inch-type CCD with 3.34 million pixels.
The Optical Centerpiece: an all-glass 7x zoom Minolta GT LENS.
Using Minolta's "G LENS Technology" - the same used in Minolta's Maxxum SLR lenses - the lens provides high-image quality with minimum chromatic aberration and curvilinear distortion with 16 glass elements in 13 groups. Maximum Aperture on the lens is f/2.8-f/3.5. The cameras have two AD (anomalous dispersion) glass elements and two aspheric elements for sharp, detailed images at all focal lengths.
Ultra-high 7x Optical Zoom Ratio.
A 7x optical zoom lens shoots wide-angle landscapes to intimate portraits. The zoom range is equivalent to a 35mm to 250mm lens in 35mm photography.
The digital zoom extends that reach to 500mm at the touch of a button.
12-bit A/D Conversion.
The DiMAGE5 has a 12-bit A/D conversion that can provide a fine tonal gradation, with deep shadows, brilliant highlights and millions of colors (up to 4,096 levels in each RGB channel), as opposed to the standard 10-bit A/D conversion with its limited 1,024 levels per RGB channel.
Exclusive Digital Hyper Viewfinder.
The DiMAGE5's Digital Hyper Viewfinder provides photographers with clear images, even under bright light. With its reflective ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) viewfinder and a visual resolution equivalent to almost 220,000 pixels, the variable position viewfinder can also be tilted up to 90 degrees for added flexibility. The Digital Hyper Viewfinder allows the photographer to simultaneously monitor the image and camera settings.

Programmed AE, aperture priority, shutter priority and manual modes.
Shutter speeds from 4 seconds to 1/2000th second and Bulb.
