Square cut images from a casual city walk with the 2002 Konica Genba Kantoku Digital DG-2, a specialized, rugged, and all-weather vintage digital camera designed primarily for the construction industry and site documentation, which was spawned as the DG-1 (1998), DG-2 (2002), and DG-3 (2003).
The series was introduced as a follow-up to its equally successful 35mm film sibling series, the Konica Genba Kantoku 28WB (and 28WB ECO), which was released earlier in the 1990s.
The DG-2 features a 1/2-inch 2.1-megapixel CCD sensor, a fixed 5.8mm f/2.8 Hexanon lens (equivalent to a 38mm lens on a full frame camera), with 2.5x digital zoom, a minimum focusing distance of 0.3 meters, an optical viewfinder, a built-in flash, an LCD panel for camera status display, and a 1.8-inch TFT LCD screen.
The camera has a shutter speed range from 2 seconds to 1/750 seconds, is powered by 4 AA batteries (NiMH recommended), measures 139 x 77 x 53 mm, and weighs 425 grams. Images are recorded at resolutions of 1600x1200, 1280x960, or 640x480 and saved to CompactFlash cards.
With its rubberized body ruggedized against dust, dirt, water (JIS grade 7), and shock, the cult vintage favorite appeals to enthusiasts not only for its good look, simple operation even with gloved hands, but also for its early CCD image aesthetics.
Konica Genba Kantoku Digital DG-2
Despite its age, the attractive and stunning autoexposure point-and-shoot is a pleasure to use and easy to carry around. It is never a let-down when seen in public, as the camera seems to have the ability to blend itself seamlessly with its peers among the crowd.
