This is my first proper digital camera and I have not been disappointed. The very small and lightweight Minolta Dimage Xt is perfect for taking away with you on holiday, on a night out or even for random photos around the house. I recently took it to a concert and it survived being stuck in my pocket, banged about and it even took excellent photos and films.
At 3.2 megapixels the quality of the photos are excellent. Of the few films that I have recorded, every one of them has turned out excellent. The sound quality is also clear as a bell.
The super small size of 85.5 x 67 x 20 mm and weighing in at only 120g this is the perfect camera to fit into any pocket. The added bonus of the internal optical zoom means that the size stays small all the time.
The only down point of this camera that I can find is the flash doesn’t travel very far. Taking a photo at night can be a problem if the subject is far away. Also, watch out for the manual as it refers to the wrong pages, they are there but as different numbers.
I did have the chance to get the Dimage Xg, the next Dimage to be released, but as far as I could see it was a downgrade. I am extremely happy with this camera, I bought it for around £180 on the net, and I would advise anyone looking to go for this one.
