Summary: Great Camera
Review: I have had this camera for a little less than a year and I love it. There is nothing better than to stuff it into my pocket and go. It fits everywhere. It downloads quickly and efficiently on my computer and I never have to worry about taking pictures. The only problem that has occurred is the battery drains quickly - but what digital doesn't. I'm going to buy another battery to keep as a backup. I love this camera because of its compact size and ease in using.

Summary: Great Little Camera!!!
Review: I have a big Olympus digital camera, but found it was too cumbersome for vacation travel and impromptu snapshots and it devoured AA batteries. This little marvel from Minolta packs almost everything my Olympus does into something about the size of a pack of cigarettes and the miniscule rechargable battery lasts about 2 days of occasional tourist snapshots. I took it to Venice in March and it worked great. Picture quality is good for computer and e-mail, although I admit I don't have a great photo printer to truly assess photo quality. The Minolta image management software is easy to use and does everything the typical user would need to do, such as rotating photos, adjusting brightness, and adjusting color. After almost 3 months with this camera, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a simple, compact, high-quality digital camera.

Summary: small is only thing nice about camera
Review: The only thing nice about this camera is it's size, very compact and light weight.I returned mine for a refund for the following reasons. 1)The battery doesnt last long, so you gave to buy another one, cannot use AA if in a pinch. 2)Indoor photos are washed out by extremely powerful flash. And it always uses the flash, even in not so low light situations. 3) Extremely slow at writing the photo to the SD memory. (about 5 seconds)(this is without flash) 4) Buttons are poorly layed out, and menu system not thought out well. 5) Movie mode records in MOV format!! forcing you to use quicktime! I returned this camera and got a SONY P72. ...

Summary: Great little camera
Review: The reason that this camera is better than most, is that you will carry this camera with you all the time. With most cameras, you have to judge when you will bring it with you.
If you are the bride or groom at a wedding and you are taking keepsake photos, this is not the camera for you. If you are one of the other 200 at the wedding, this is the perfect camera.
This camera is only 3/4" thick and I read other reviews of people who dont own this camera say that their 2" thick camera takes a better picture. Probably so...but your camera is most likely still at home taking great pictures of.....nothing. I connect this camera to a Mac with OS X using iPhoto which color corrects all the photos. Insanely easy.
This camera also comes as a 3meg version (same size).
If the idea of a camera is to take photos, than this camera passes that test with flying colors. You will consider this camera a part of your hand.
Like a cell phone, I consider this camera indispensible.
This camera has an all metal body unlike most digital cameras that have a plastic body.

Summary: Simply AWESOME, just hoped there were some differences
Review: Ever since the DiMage X came out I've wanted to get one but I waited until the price dropped. I got one about a month ago in February. I really like the unique design and its compact size. Here are some of the pros and cons in my opinion. Lets start with the cons. CONs:
- Takes a while to switch from one shooting mode to another (ex: from single shot to movie mode). It is a lot easier on the sony DSC series cameras. - I have gotten use to the small size and learned quickly to becareful about not covering the lens with my finger. However, when someone else is taking a picture for me, most of the time their finger blocks a portion of the lens. - You can't preview anything if you're taking a picture in low light conditions. I like how some Sony's shine an orange light before you take the shot so you see what you're taking. - Menu isn't hard to learn but isn't the most efficient style I've seen. Now for the PROs: - I really really like the design of Dimage X. Very modern and unique and just plain cool. - Very small in size and light weight. Everywhere I go its always in my pocket. - Amazingly good zoom (3x optical) for such a small camera. And plus the internal zoom design allows the small camera to stay small all the time. - The battery life is very good. I always have the LCD screen on when I use the camera and I haven't had the battery run out on me. - Movie mode records images as well as sound. Also theres a speaker for you to preview the movie with sound. - Theres a motorized metal lens cover that protects your lens. Its really fun to watch the lens cover go down to reveal the lens when you turn the camera on and also when it goes back up when you turn it off. (You'll see what I'm talking about after you get the camera) - Image quality in my opinion is more than enough for my needs. I mainly use the pictures for internet use and occasionally print out the pictures on photo paper. 2.11 mega pixels is more than enough if those are your intentions also. - The camera powers up and is ready to take a picture almost immediately after you turn it on. This is a plus for a camera you're always carrying around. - Theres not a big lag between taking shots, compared to the Canon s200. I'm sure theres plenty more Pro's but I'm still learning about the camera. The camera always turns curious heads every time I take it out. So besides the cons I mentioned above, which really arent too big of a deal, this is the perfect camera for me.

Summary: My First Camera
Review: I got the Dimage for xmas this year. It is my first digital camera and I love it! It couldnt be easier to use. The LCD display is really crisp and clear and the camera takes the most beautiful pictures. I am no photographer, but even my photos come out looking great. I was thoroughly impressed. I admit though, I don't use the software they provide. I run it on Windows XP and it is very simple to print and save pictures. The camera itself plugs into the PC and acts as an external drive... you just drag and drop. It couldn't be easier.

Summary: Overall It's a good $250 camara
Review: The bad: Your setting of your camara will lose after you turned it off or changed battery. The manual itself doesn't tell you all the stuff that you need to know. The good:
-(which is also the bad)
The lightweight made it easy carry but also easy to make a
hand-shake picture with just a little movement.
-fast charge battery (like an hour for full charge) Well overall it's cool design doesn't make me stop using it

Summary: Super Pocket Camera!!
Review: I Keep it with me wherever I go - it's so compact! I'm really pleased with the start up and shutter response time. If I have it in my shirt pocket I can actually pull it out and do one hand grab shots (takes about 4 seconds total to start it and get the shot). I'm also happy with the rechargeable battery life. The package I bought came with two batteries and charger - very nice to have an extra battery handy (they're so small)! People are always amazed by it's size when I pull it out of my pocket to take a picture! The 3x zoom really helps in composing the picture. I put a 128 MB Secure Digital Card in it and at normal quality - (about 500k jpeg file size) I've got about 250 picture capacity!! If I don't do any movie shots, which are also very good - my whole vacation can be on one card before I have to download!
5 x 7 prints are photo quality - I was impressed. I haven't tried it but the best quality mode stores as a TIFF file (about 8MB in size!). Two things to I've learned: 1 - Due to it's small size it's easy to get your fingers in front of the lens or flash - but you'll quickly learn how best to hold it. 2 - The flash is located to the side of the lens so I turn the camera to put the flash above the lens to avoid background edge shadows when the subject is several feet in front of a wall or backdrop.
I just noticed they've come out with a 3 Megapixel version in the same package if you feel you must have more resolution.
