Konica Digital Revio KD-510Z

Konica Digital Revio KD-510Z ... ultimate camera in the Digital Revio range, the 5 megapixel KD-510Z features Konica's pace-setting Dual Slot memory technology. So you can use SD Memory Cards, MultiMedia cards and Memory Stick recording media. You can choose which to use for a particular shot, or swap images from one to the other - effectively doubling your memory options.

You'll have plenty to capture too. An exceptional start-up time of only 1.3 seconds, and a negligible pause between shots, means you'll rarely miss a photo opportunity - including up to 30 seconds of movie! The new Fixed Focus option also enables you to lock on at 1, 2 or 4 meters for an even faster shooting response.

The Macro mode gives you superlative close-ups. In this Mode you can switch between Wide-Angle, and get as close as 6cm, and Telephoto, getting as close as 50cm and so staying far enough away from small, sensitive subjects to avoid disturbing them.

The zoom performance is equally impressive. Combine the 3x optical zoom lens with the 3x digital zoom, and you have a 9x effective zoom performance.

The experienced photographer will find plenty to enjoy in the KD-510Z! Three different menus provide many tasty options. Or you can create your own customized mode, by locking the focus, exposure, exposure compensation and White Balance.

But despite its sophistication, the KD-510Z is very easy to use. Just three buttons control the main functions: Play, Display and Delete. A simple, four-way button lets you cycle through the various flash and shooting modes without going through the menu system. And to ensure that you see what you're shooting, the TFT color LCD monitor is adjustable for brightness and hue.

At a comfortably slim 29.5mm, the handsome, stainless steel case has a high quality look and feel. Naturally, you get all the regular features: Auto Flash, Flash ON or OFF, Night Portrait, Red-eye Reduction, Self-Timer. You can also add up to 30 seconds of voice to comment on your still shots, or as a voice memo.

There are some brilliant new features too. You can now control the flash volume; set up different levels of saturation, contrast, hue and sharpness of each shot - and reduce 'noise' and camera shake at slow shutter speeds.

But for real attention to detail, how about this: For digital camera users who miss the reassuring sounds of film cameras, Konica have even added the shutter click sound from the award-winning Hexar RF!
