The new DiMAGE Z1 is a rather odd looking ten times optical zoom, three megapixel digital camera. The Z1 looks as though it has dropped out of a science fiction movie with its rounded body and separate hand grip. The camera is powered by four AA batteries and stores images on SD/MMC cards. It has a unique LCD monitor with a very impressive 60 frames per second refresh rate. It also provides an electronic viewfinder by blanking out the LCD and mirroring the image up through the eyepiece, this does away with needing a separate EVF LCD.
