The DiMAGE X20 is the world's smallest and lightest 2-megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom (as of July 2003). The camera is clearly based on the 'folded optics' lens design first seen in the DiMAGE X, that is a 3x optical zoom mechanism which is 'laid' inside the camera body and views the world through a mirrored prism. The new Minolta DiMAGE X20 combines responsive performance and a user-friendly design. The X20 has some unusual features that help it to stand out from the crowd. The self portrait mode utilises a mirror on front of the camera to help you compose images, while the multi-frame drive mode allows you to capture 9 images on one frame. Image pasting allows one image to be placed in another for a creative touch, and there is also a movie mode with sound.
