In 1998 the Minolta Dimâge EX was an avantgarde product among Minolta's early digital cameras. 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.

The Minolta EX had an operating system that it shared with Hewlett-Packard, Kodak and Pentax cameras between 1998 and 2002: Digita, a software made by FlashPoint Technology Inc..

The user was able to upload Digita scripts as small applications into the camera's memory thru the serial adapter cable SC-EX1 since Digita included a modern scripting language, editable with notepad on the computer.
