Konica Minolta prepping the DiMAGE Z3?

The natural law of electronics is that there is always a newer, better version of whatever you just bought on the way, it's just a matter of when. So we're not utterly shocked about the rumors that Konica Minolta is warming up the DiMAGE Z3, the follow-up to their four-megapixel DiMAGE
Z2 (pictured at right), improving on the Z2's 10x optical zoom lens by upping the zoomability to 12x. Yeah, it's annoying if you just bought a Z2, but you can't let these things get to you.
