 Minolta drew on its renowned optical expertise and the same GT Lens technology used for the top-of-the-line DiMAGE 7 to develop this sophisticated lens for digital imaging. Although compact, It boasts optical precision powerful enough to match the ultra-high-resolution CCD. And by reducing distortion and color aberration, the lens offers sharp, detailed images at all focal lengths. Even at telephoto range, you can get images with bright aperture value. |

 This CCD, the same as that used in the DiMAGE 5, serves as the camera's "electronic eye" to capture images with effective 3.2 (total 3.3) million pixels. This provides quality so good that you can enlarge your pictures up to B4 size (approx. 14 x 10 inches) using an ink-jet printer at 150-dpi. An RGB primary color filter in the CCD ensures beautifully natural color reproduction. |

| Each of the red, green and blue color signals is converted by 12-bit A/D processing and provides 4,096 color gradations. Compared to pictures from conventional 10-bit models, you'll see much greater detail - with a total of over 68 billion gradations. |
