Complex menus No dials with modes as in many other cameras. The menus are complex and complicated, not easy to navigate - try it on a small screen in bright sun. Small LCD screen.
The camera gives good outdoor pictures in good light. At indoor or low light conditions it has some problems - rising the ISO number to 200 or 400 produces image noise (particularly at ISO 400).
Setting ISO in AUTO mode in the Quality menu - the camera always sets it to ISO 50 even if there is a very little light available. Thus I... more info
Avoid this piece of junk - buy a Canon or Nikon The flash on this camera broke after < 2 months. Sent back to Konica-Minolta for warranty service was told that repair takes 2 months. 3 1/2 mos go by and no word from manufacturer.

They will send me a "REFURBED" replacement as my only recourse. Since I had no choice, I took that. The refurb broke after 2 months as... more info
Lousy Camera I have had this camera about 6 months and have had to return it twice so far for the same repair, without any explanation or recourse of requesting a replacement. I use the camera for my work so two to three weeks per repair is pretty disruptive to my schedule. Quick shots are out of the question since the camera is ultra sensitive to any tremor, and I must always use a tripod.
Excellent camera, a bit complicated to use for anything but take pictures Good points:
1. The price is magnificent...you can get it for about $244.00 for 6Megapixels!(as of Jul-11-2005);
2. The quality of the pictures is excellent;
3. Battery Life is fairly good (about 280 flash pictures);
4. Takes BOTH SD and MemoryStick memory types;
5. Optical Zoom at 3X is about normal and works fine;
6. On-Off system is nice and simple;
7. FAST shutter speed (time from moment you press button to picture actually being taken); Canon is awful at this.... more info
