| Minolta's revolutionary planar lens system differs greatly from conventional lens systems, which have elements aligned on a horizontal axis. Instead, this new system uses a high-precision prism behind the first lens element to refract light 90 degrees into the camera body, where the other lens elements are stacked vertically. This layout is the key to unprecedented slimness. |

| Quiet operation is another bonus, thanks to the zoom mechanism's extremely small stepping motor. It keeps the camera surprisingly quiet as you zoom in and out for the ideal shot. |

| A defining feature of Minolta's new lens system is it has no protruding lens barrel. Zoom is adjusted internally, using the vertically aligned lens elements, and thus the DiMAGE X stays slim at all times. |
