| − | In 1998 the '''Minolta Dimâge EX''' was an ''avantgarde'' product among [[Minolta]]'s early [[digital camera]]s. It was unique with its exchangeable [[CCD]]/lens-modules. Available configurations were the Minolta Dimâge EX Wide 1500 and the Minolta Dimâge EX Zoom 1500. The [[wide angle]] module had a 9-element f1.9 5.2mm lens while the vario module had a 5-element f3.5-5.6 7-21mm [[zoom lens]]. Both modules had a 1.5 [[Megapixel]] CCD. The camera stored the images on CF memory cards. The camera seems to have given the model for the [[Ricoh GXR]] for exchangeable lens/sensor-modules. | + | {{Flickr_image |
