The Soligor SX 230z was a typical consumer digicam of its time: 3× zoom lens and optical zoom finder, needing AA batteries (or better AA rechargeable LiNh-batteries) and CF card type I, having just a small color monitor. Astoundingly its EXIF data says that it's a Minolta Dimâge 2330 Zoom, thus making clear that this camera was produced by taiwanese OEM manufacturer Skanhex who also had made the Minolta camera. In the market the Soligor variant appeared in 2001 whilst the Minolta was already introduced in 2000.
The later Soligor SX 330z which offered one megapixel more image resolution got the same lens and the same camera body design.
