Konica Lexio 70
What comes to mind when you think of "point and shoot" cameras? Cheap? Plastic-y? Generic snapshot images? While those things are possible, in reality, there's an entire class of small, compact cameras that look like they deserve the moniker "point and shoot", but deliver far beyond what one might think. In this class - perhaps even sitting near the front rows of this class - is the Konica Lexio 70.
When it was introduced in 2000, the Konica Lexio 70 had many of the features that a lot of other compact cameras had: DX coding for reading film speeds, a zoom lens with focal lengths between 28mm and 70mm, a built-in flash, and even red-eye reduction flash. Some of the advances that Konica made were to add +1.5 stop backlight exposure adjustments, parallax correction in the viewfinder, slow-speed flash synchronization, and a top-mounted LCD screen with all kind of information. Most notably, however, the Lexio 70 came what Konica was most famous for - a truly beautiful lens.
While there are plenty of other point and shoot cameras out there that live up to the first impressions you had, keep in mind the ones that don't, like the Lexio 70.
