Summary: Nice Have owned for a year....everything excellent except for the following: Has trouble focusing in low light due to lack of low light assist lamp... The battery door hatch needs to be handled with extreme care. Mine now needs to be taped shut because it likes to pop open unexpetedly. not perfect, but lots of good features, and great pics Summary: problems This could obviously just be the camera I received, but twice in the past nine months the camera has shut down with the lens fully extended and cannot be turned back on (I bought the AC adapter, tried every kind of battery under the sun, etc.). It had to be returned to Minolta for service both times. I won't be buying another Minolta. Having said that, the camera does take very high quality pictures when used properly and has a lot of features. It's a little slow between photos and eats batteries but these are common complaints with many digital cameras. Check out the Nikon Coolpix line. Both My brother and my sister-in-law just received the Coolpix 4800 as a gift and they both love it. Summary: Perfect balance between size and features, at great price! The Dimage F-series of digital cameras are nothing short of AMAZING. Or AWESOME. Or PERFECT. Each model is a perfect balance between size (compact, take-anywhere) and features (especially the number of manual controls which simply don't exist on other digital cameras, even excellent offerings from Canon or Fuji). 3X optical zoom is pretty standard on prosumer cameras these days; of course it would be nice to have 10X or 30X or 100X optical zoom, but at what price? The F100 (and other F models) are very well priced, being affordable to every level of digital camera enthusiasts. Unlike the flat dimensions of the Dimage X-series, the F-series models are a bit elongated and hence *easier* to hold (especially if you are rightie, of course). The controls are pretty straightforward, although you might want to keep the manual handy the first couple days you use the camera. Rechargable batteries are dirt cheap these days with the Chinese entering the market, and NiMH ones have twice the recharge cyles as LiIon ones, so power is not a problem -- you just should bring enough for your trip. I also love the fact Minolta uses SD memory cards. My Fujitsu laptop (as well as other multimedia laptops from Toshiba and HP) have a built-in SD/MMC slot, so I can just stick in the SD card and it instantly sits on my XP desktop as a removable drive. Then it's just easy drag-n-drop in Windows Explorer! Just perfect! What can I say. If you don't have an F100 (4 megapixel) or F300 (5.3 megapixel) already, go get one today! Summary: Awesome! I got this camera about two month ago, and it is a perfect choice for "mid-professional" use! It works nice at night, no red eye, noisy pictures... The mechanical parts are also working very smoothly, no engine sounds. I had a DiMAGE X before this, you can not compare the picture quality at all. Battery life is good too, but I'd prefer to have a battery like DiMAGE X and the charger, since you have to pay about $40 for battery and a charger, which are not included in the package. Overall, this is a great choice if you don't are not concerned about getting VERY professional pictures...good luck! Summary: Best Value in a 4 MP camera I've owned it for 4 months now and it's a very good camera, especially for the price... Normal compression @ 4M resolution results in about 1 meg JPGs. Compression artifacts are not visible unless you blow them up very large: >8x11. 4 resolution options w/3 or 4 compression options. Video w/sound works great. Compact enough for your shirt pocket. Quality aluminum body. Many features in a moderately easy to use menu; more features = more layers. Downloads fast, about 1 sec/meg so no need for a card reader. Win Me & 2000 auto installed it as a generic USB card reader, I never had to enter anything! Cons; shutter lag is about 1 sec. You can speed it up if you depress the shutter half way to prefocus. On/Off dial is too easy to turn on in your pocket. Eats batteries. I could not get it to work with alkalines, only rechargables or the supplied disposable lithium. Only comes w/16M SD card. Slightly awkward to hold. Weak flash. |
