The DiMAGE X is the ultimate in portability - and not only because of its size. Real digital photography requires many things, such as high image quality and zooming. But to...
more...combine these in an ultra-compact unit? A major technological challenge, one that demanded a new synthesis of Minolta's diverse expertise. The DiMAGE X is an achievement born of Minolta's renowned technological expertise. Packing 3x optical zoom into a body only 20mm thick is simply not possible with conventional optics. So what was needed was a groundbreaking solution - like the innovative lens system at the heart of the smallest, slimmest, and lightest 3x optical zoom camera. Brimming with extra features, the DiMAGE X is about more than size alone. You can record mini-movies with audio. It's ready to shoot at a moment's notice. And other conveniences, like a simple control layout and built-in flash, make it an ideal digital camera for work or leisure. Looking for high value? "X" marks the spot. Any way you look at it, the DiMAGE X is unique. And when you see images it captures, there's even more to be impressed with. Though superior optics and the exclusive CxProcess image processing technology, Minolta brings you the clear, vibrant colors that make the DiMAGE name special. The difference is clearly visible.

I love this camera. It's so useful whether you want to record a video or some sound or just take excellent quality photos. It can record up to 35 seconds of video or 90 seconds of audio at a time and can take photos up to a resolution of 1600x1200. It has 3x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom. It is very slim because the zoom takes place after the mirror so is going down the inside of the camera rather than out of the front.
It is very simple to upload the images to a computer using a usb port. The battery seems to last me just about a good night out with a little left over to view the photos in the morning so I have bought a second one costing around 30 pounds.
I have used it in a light shower and have dropped it on the floor and it seems fairly robust.
I would definately recoment this camera
