A second announcement from Konica Corp. today marks a new resolution high for the company, with a 5 megapixel addition to the only series of digicams that couples both Memory Stick and Secure Digital storage...
The KD-310Z and KD-400Z cameras currently share that honor, and both were announced at last year's PMA show. Now, the Digital Revio KD-500Z will round out the line with a 5.23 megapixel imager. As well as the unusual combination of Memory Stick and Secure Digital slots, the KD-500Z will keep the same 39 - 117mm Hexanon 3x optical zoom lens of the lower-res models. The body color will apparently be changed from silver to black, based on the product photo.
Full specs courtesy of Konica Germany follow (apologies for the extremely low resolution product image above, which will be replaced as soon as we get a better one):
