Advantages: Compact, resistant, powerful, easy to use Disadvantages: Comes with little memory
I don´t happen to be a computer nor a photography freak, but I manage well with both disciplines, and I had had previous experiences with not-so-good digital cameras whose quality was not by far comparable to my good old optical one. But as finally digital cameras started catching up I decided to go for it, and try to get hold of a moderately good gadget.
After annoying a poor sales assistant for more than half an hour trying to make him explain ... ...of every camera offering around 3 megapixels and maximum price of around 400 pounds, I decided on this one... and have never regretted! By then, February 2003, I paid around 300 well-spent pounds for it. The characteristics that made me decide for it were several: the main thing was, of course, image quality: it´s 3.2 megapíxels, but apart from that, its definition and quality are outstanding; I was lucky enough to be able to see some prints coming ...

...Olympus and Canon and at Konica and Minolta. The chap in the local camera shop showed me examples of photos he'd taken of Ramsgate Harbour and the amazing thing was that the realistic quality of the reflections on the water from the boats was far superior for the Minolta and Konica than for the mainstream equivalent models.
Armed with this, it was down to design and the cigarette packet size of the Konica sold me on it.

Advantages: strong casing for safety and good picture quality Disadvantages: delay in taking multiple pictures
A great camera that can withstand a variety of knocks and bangs.
I've had this camera for 5 years now and never had a problem. It takes good clear pictures which are easily viewed on the camera or transfered to the computer.
Probably the most annoying thing is the delay between taking several photo's. If you want to capture a second photo you have to wait several seconds which is often too long. Also the time between pressing the button and the ... ...have to time it well! Saying that once I'd got the hang of it it was fine.
