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.
