Sony M 1
M 1 was introduced by Sony at the end of 2004, which subverted the traditional digital camera. With its unique shape and function, it won the "Most Forward-looking Innovative Design" award from CCTV. From the appearance, M 1 looks like a Japanese mobile phone, and its body size is only 1 14×54×28mm, which reminds us of Sony Ericsson's megapixel mobile phone S700. On closer inspection, two digital "gadgets" of Sony descent are really a bit true.
An important function of M 1 is self-timer, and the 2.5-inch LCD screen can rotate 90 degrees horizontally and 270 degrees vertically. When the lens and LCD are aligned at the same time, the image will automatically become a mirror image; At the same time, a second set of shooting buttons is set on the LCD screen frame, which is suitable for users to capture images at random from different angles. Self-timer is certainly not a problem.
Don't think that M 1 is just a vase, and its function is not weak at all. M 1 adopts 1/2.4-inch 5-megapixel CCD and Care Zeiss-certified Vario-Tessar lens. The lens has triple optical zoom capability, the focal length is 6.7 to 20. 1mm, which is equivalent to 38mm to 1 14mm of a 35mm traditional camera, and the response speed of the aperture f3.5.m1is also first-class. It only takes 1.4 seconds to turn off the camera and enter the shooting state. The focusing speed is only 0.24 seconds, and the shutter lag is only 0.09 seconds.
The biggest highlight of M 1 is not only its appearance, but also its powerful dynamic shooting ability. M 1 has the same HD video recording function as ordinary DV. At present, ordinary DC can only shoot MPEG- 1 or MPEG-2 movies with VGA resolution, but M 1 can shoot MPEG-4 movies with VGA resolution (30 frames per second at 640 x 480), which greatly reduces the file size and improves the picture quality. In addition, its compact body has two microphones built in, which can record sound synchronously when shooting video, which makes it possible to record three-dimensional movies.

Olympus IR 500
IR 500 is one of the main models exhibited by Olympus in Photokina 2004, and it is also the protagonist of Olympus "Easy Imaging System". Olympus has made great efforts on the camera shape this year. From the original AZ 1 to μ-mini, and now to IR 500, Olympus has attracted countless people's attention. Personally, in 2004, only Sony and Olympus were able to bring visual impact to everyone, and the word "subversion of tradition" was frequently used in these two products.
IR 500 is also the favorite of selfie enthusiasts. It has a selfie mode. When the LCD and the lens are facing you at the same time, the image will become a mirror image after turning on the mode, just like looking at yourself in the mirror.
When you first saw the IR 500, you might think: Is this a digital camera? I don't see the lens or LCD. After playing for a while, you will be surprised to find that the LCD of IR 500 can rotate and act as the lens cover, so when the camera is turned off, neither the lens nor the LCD can see it. The IR 500 is also a well-deserved "subversion of tradition", because this design is indeed the first time to appear on a digital camera. The IR 500 machine has an all-metal body, and the workmanship is very exquisite. When you rotate the LCD to the same direction as the lens, you can take pictures with the LCD when taking selfies. LCD is also a bright spot of IR 500, because this LCD comes from Sharp, who is known as the "king of LCD", and AZ 1 is also favored by many consumers. This LCD is bright and delicate, with a large viewing angle, and it is still clearly visible under strong light.
IR 500 adopts 1/2.7-inch 4-megapixel CCD, which has 2.8 times optical zoom capability, the focal length is equivalent to 40 to 1 12mm of that of traditional cameras, and the aperture is F2.9 to 4.8. The wide-angle end is only 40mm, which is really a little smaller than the 38mm of Sony M 1 introduced above, so the IR 500 is a bit stretched. The endurance of the IR 500 is commendable. It uses LI 12B lithium battery, with power as high as 1230mAh, and can take more than 300 photos.

Pentax Optio X
Optio X comes from Pentax, one of the four traditional SLR manufacturing giants in the past. Optio X adopts split design, with exquisite design and exquisite workmanship. The front lens panel and the rear LCD operation panel of the machine are divided into two parts. The fuselage can freely rotate downward or upward, with the downward rotation angle of 180 degrees and the upward rotation angle of 90 degrees. When the LCD rotates in the same direction as the lens, it is convenient to take a selfie. Optio X adopts a 2.0-inch low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD screen with 2 1 10,000 pixels, and the display effect is excellent. Optio X is made of aluminum alloy, which is very light and thin. Its overall dimensions are112x54x18mm, and its weight is only 125g.
Optio X uses a 5 megapixel CCD, 1/2.5 inches, and the lens is the famous Pentax SMC (Pentax Multilayer Coated Lens), which is a triple optical zoom lens composed of five groups of six lenses. Its focal length is equivalent to 35.6 to 107mm in 35mm conversion, and the shortest shooting distance is 6 cm ~ 20 cm, which can reach 2cm in super macro mode. Optio X also uses newly developed ASIC devices, which can obtain higher quality pictures and faster data processing speed, which is 1.5 times faster than the usual Pentax model. The shutter speed of Optio X is 4- 1/2000s, and 9-point subarea AF focusing mode is provided. In addition to automatic, ISO sensitivity can be adjusted by 80,160,320, and it also has 15 scene mode and six white balance modes.

Sony F88
We know that it is convenient to take a selfie when the LCD and the lens are in the same direction, but the lens of most digital cameras is facing the LCD, so it is convenient to take a selfie by rotating the LCD. So, besides rotating the LCD, what else can you rotate? The answer is to rotate the lens. Sony can be said to be the originator of the rotating lens. As early as the end of last century, Sony introduced the F55 digital camera with the first step of rotating the lens, and F88 is the latest version of this series of models. F88 is excellent in workmanship. As a first-class manufacturer, Sony's workmanship is still very satisfactory. Although it is not a metal body, the metal texture is very good, and the camera is also very small and light, with a size of 98 x 75 x 25.6 mm and a weight of only 163g.
F88 adopts 1/2.4-inch 5-megapixel CCD, and the lens is still carl zeiss Vario Tessar, which has 3 times optical zoom capability. The focal length is 38mm to 1 14 mm, and the aperture F3.5-F4.2 is wide and a little small. Portrait processing adopts Sony's latest real-life imaging quality processing technology, which reproduces the original color with high precision and high fidelity and has the characteristics of high-quality shooting. The number of photos taken by the standard battery is about 330, and its endurance is commendable. F88 adopts 1.8 inch LCD, and I am used to the popular 2.5 inch LCD. I always feel that the LCD of F88 is small, but the display effect of this LCD is still excellent.

Konica Minolta A200
In fact, the models of digital cameras mentioned above are very different in appearance. Some "orthodox" digital cameras use rotating LCD, which is also very convenient for taking selfies. This kind of rotating liquid crystal first appeared on Canon's digital cameras, such as Canon G5, A80 and A95. Later, Konica Minolta also used this design scheme, such as A2 and A200. The following mainly introduces Konica Minolta's latest 800-pixel model A200, which is also the cheapest 8-pixel digital camera at present. The A200 also has a 1.8-inch rotating LCD with a pixel of 134000. The LCD can rotate horizontally 180 degrees and vertically 270 degrees, so self-timer is not a problem at all.
A200 is a simplified version of Konica Minolta consumer model A2, which is much smaller in size and weight, lighter than A2' s 565g, and the buttons of 60g are much simplified, but its main functions are 800 pixels, GT lens and CCD anti-shake technology. A200 uses a 2/3 inch CCD with 8 million effective pixels, with a total pixel of 8.3 million, and can take photos with 3264×2448 pixels at most. The minimum sensitivity of CCD is 50, and the ISO value can be manually adjusted between 50, 100, 200, 400, 800.
A200 adopts GT lens with 7x optical zoom, which consists of 16 lenses and 13 lenses, of which 2 AD glass lenses reduce flash and chromatic aberration, and 2 aspheric lenses reduce distortion. The focal length of the lens ranges from 7.2mm to 50mm, which is equivalent to 28mm to 200mm of a 35mm camera. The lens diameter is 49mm, and there is also a macro switch and a manual zoom ring on the lens. The maximum aperture at the wide-angle end is F2.8, the maximum aperture at the telephoto end is F3.5, and the minimum aperture is F 1 1. The shutter range in aperture priority and program mode is 30- 1/3200s.
A200 supports 800×600 resolution animation with 15 frames per second, which is the largest resolution animation that the camera can shoot at present. At the same time, it can shoot 30 frames per second animation with 640×480 and 320×240 resolutions. A200 also supports night shooting mode, which can shoot good films even in the case of insufficient light. However, A200 animation shooting has a time limit, and it can only shoot audio animation of 15 minutes. Of course, A200 also has AS optical anti-shake technology, which adopts patented CCD anti-shake technology painstakingly developed by Konica Minolta for many years, and has obvious advantages compared with other digital cameras.
