Minolta DiMage A1
Encyclopedia
The Minolta DiMAGE A1 is an electronic viewfinder
bridge digital camera
produced by Minolta
, which was introduced in July 2003, replacing the DiMAGE 7/7h/7hi
(part of the DiMAGE 7 series
). It was the first Minolta product to incorporate the Anti-Shake system, a built-in image stabilization system.
Unlike the DiMAGE 7-series powered by four AA batteries, {or through the external battery pack connection}, a Minolta NP-400 battery cell was introduced, which has a long battery life (the NP-400 is also used with the final K-M DSLRs, the Maxxum 7D/5D).
This was the final Minolta-badged bridge camera product before the Konica Minolta
merger. The A1 was succeeded by the DiMAGE A2
in March 2004 (as the first Konica Minolta-badged product), with an 8 megapixel CCD sensor.
