Konica and Minolta formally merged in October, so it's not surprising that the Minolta G500 looks very much like the Konica Digital Revio KD-500Z we reviewed nearly a year ago. The G500 offers the same quiet, silky operation, fast start-up time (less than 2 seconds), mushy menu navigation button, and tiny buttons for operating the zoom. The only things we can tell that have changed are the etched brand and model names on the front, and the substitution of Minolta's DiMage Viewer software for Adobe Photoshop Elements (we'd rather have Elements).
