Konica Minolta throws down 8 megapixel ultra compact DiMAGE X1

Here's a new entry into the DiMAGE
family — Konica Minolta's new X1 is an 8 megapixel ultra compact unit featuring the Anti-shake technology not seen in other ultra compacts besides the Lumix DMC-FX7/8. It's also sporting a 2.5-inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, an optional underwater housing and a docking station that charges while providing playback via TV, printing via PictBridge, or connection to a PC. It'll come in three colors: silver (to complement the "elegant, genteel nature" of the camera... right.), wine red and black, and should be available in September for £299 including VAT.
