UK/European Readers buy the Minolta DiMAGE G600
Steve's Digicams reviews the Konica Minolta Dimage G600 and writes - 'High picture quality is obtained through the camera’s GT HEXANON lens that’s designed to produce stunningly accurate images. These images are then received by the 1/1.76-inch 6.40-megapixel CCD, which provides high-resolution picture quality unexpected from such a compact camera. The result is beautifully detailed images across the entire zoom range in a slim, pocketable design. Completing the process, high-resolution images are assured with precision processing provided by the newly developed A*IPS – using Konica Minolta's proprietary algorithm, which instantly calculates optimum exposure, focus and white balance.'
DP Expert reviews the KONICA MINOLTA DiMAGE G600 Digital Camera and advises that - 'The natural competitors of the Konica Minolta G600 are the Canon Powershot S60 and the Olympus C-60. The Canon is a 5mp camera and the Olympus is 6. The Canon and Olympus have more easily accessible manual controls which will appeal to some customers and deter others.'
CNET Reviews the Konica Minolta Dimage G600 and writes - 'Overall, we found the colors in the G600's photos to be accurate, though a little oversaturated. The contrast range, especially on darker photos, was very good. We experienced some loss of detail on the bright end of the contrast range, with the light shades blending together. In images with extreme contrast (such as tree branches against the sky), blue fringing occasionally appeared along the edges of highest contrast. These problems were visible only on close inspection and would probably go unnoticed by casual photographers. Except for a tendency for the brightest colors to blow out the detail, the color and the contrast were excellent for a point-and-shoot camera.'

Konica Minolta Introduces the New DiMAGE G600 Digital Camera; Extremely Compact and Powerful 6-Megapixel Camera is Quick and Easy to Use
MAHWAH, N.J. --(Business Wire)-- March 18, 2004 Konica Minolta introduces the new DiMAGE G600 - a fast and easy to use 6 megapixel digital camera designed to enable photographers to produce high-quality images to last a lifetime. This new addition to the DiMAGE camera line features Rapid Response with a 1.3-second start-up time, an ergonomic and easy-to-use design and this new digital camera is packed with features that appeal to both beginners and advanced amateurs alike.
"The new compact and fully-featured DiMAGE G600 is a value-packed, high performance digital camera at an affordable price," said Jon Sienkiewicz, vice president of marketing, Konica Minolta's Camera Division. "This new compact camera is ideal for every day snapshots as well as a second camera for serious amateur or professional photographers."
High picture quality is obtained through the camera's GT HEXANON lens that's designed to produce stunningly accurate images. These images are then received by the1/1.76-inch 6.40-megapixel CCD, which provides high-resolution picture quality unexpected from such a compact camera. The result is beautifully detailed images across the entire zoom range in a slim, pocketable design. Completing the process, high-resolution images are assured with precision processing provided by the newly developed A*IPS - using Konica Minolta's proprietary algorithm, which instantly calculates optimum exposure, focus and white balance.
The DiMAGE G600's newly developed Signal Processing Engine enables a speedy 1.3-second start-up time that has the camera ready to use at a moment's notice. This is further enhanced through speedy image processing that greatly reduces the interval between pictures. In addition, pictures can be magnified up to twelve times on the camera's LCD panel by using the high-speed scroll feature. By magnifying a portion of a picture after shooting, photographers can conveniently and quickly double check focus or subtle expressions while the subject is still present.
As a third addition to the Konica Minolta DiMAGE G series of digital cameras, the DiMAGE G600's exterior design and placement of controls has been redesigned. Stainless steel and aluminum design elements combine to create a modern, yet timeless design, with ergonomically placed controls that users will feel right at home with - all efficiently packaged in a pocketable 3.7 (W) x 2.2 (H) x 1.16 (D) inches.
And the new DiMAGE G600 is PictBridge* compatible for printing pictures without having to use a computer. The camera's dual card slots (Memory Sticks and SD Memory Cards) facilitate transferring of both still and moving images to other media, and Memory Sticks can be plugged directly into Sony computers. Advanced users can fine-tune colors and create special effects with the camera's many functions, allowing photographers to fully express their artistic vision. The camera's macro mode allows photographing objects just 2.4 inches away (on the widest angle setting).
*PictBridge is an industry standard established by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA).
