Image updates with the Konica Genba Kantoku Digital DG-2 (Digital Genba Kantoku DG-20), a very likeable 'CCD Resurgence' digital from 2002, part of Konica's 'site supervisor' 35mm film and CCD digital camera series designed for tough construction environments.
The Genba Kantoku (Site Supervisor) series is known for being waterproof, dustproof, and shock-resistant, with simple controls suitable for tough conditions and easy glove operation.
The Digital DG-2, with its rubberized skin over a heavy-duty and weather-resistant body, features a 2MP CCD sensor, a fixed f/2.8 autofocus lens equivalent to a 38mm on a full-frame camera, and records images at 1600x1200, 1280x960, or 640x480 resolutions on CF cards.
The camera has an automatic exposure system, comes with a shutter speed range from 2 to 1/750 seconds, an optical finder, an LCD panel, a 1.8-inch TFT LCD screen, and is powered by 4 AA batteries.
The DG-2 updates the DG-1, which was introduced earlier in 1998, and was later replaced by the Konica Digital 現場監督 (Genba Kantoku) DG-3Z in 2003. The DG-2 measures 139 x 77 x 53 mm, and weighs 425 grams.

Being early in the years of digital development, the DG-2 does not have a video mode. It does, however, operates with in record and playback mode, with setup and edits, and flash cycle selection.
Konica Genba Kantoku Digital DG-2
Both the Konica Genba Kantoku Digital DG-2 and its film predecessor, the Konica Genba Kantoku 28WB, are 'cult classics,' praised for their unique and functional aesthetics, extreme durability, and their retro digital look with high-contrast, early-2000s color science CCD images.
