Konica Minolta DiMAGE E323

This was last year's Christmas present to my wife, so I have had a year to play with it. WHY SHE CHOSE IT: Having used my Minolta E203 digital camera (a predecessor to the E323) my wife wanted to go for something similar. Being 2 years newer than my camera, we assumed all the disadvantages would have been ironed out in this new model. The look, design and styling also appealed to my wife and at first impression I did not like it but it looks much ...
...it in Jessops for £125 and it was the cheapest we could find it at the time, high street or internet. The other model my wife considered was the Canon Ixus Digital II. The Canon was her number one choice as she owns a Canon Ixus M-1 APS camera and the model and brand is familiar to her. However, it was too expensive so it was to be the Minolta E323. FEATURES (listed in order of what I think is most useful to the majority of users): 3.2 megapixels ...

Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE E323

A fantastic digital camera capable of producing 3.2 mega pixel images, perfect for any sized prints and high resolution pictures. The camera has a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom perfect for any type of shot without disppanning. I recently took this camera to New York on a school Arts trip; I got some excellent pictures of the city at night by using the night mode which makes the camera more sensitive to decreased amounts of light, I also managed ...
...optical zoom really helped when a piece of scenery is too far away. When visiting New York me and a couple of friends came across some street dancers the E323 camera comes with a built in movie mode so I managed too get a 4 minute video of the dancer’s routine which is of good quality. The camera supports the Secure Digital media up to 512mb, I am currently using a 128mb card which can hold around 200 high definition pictures. The batteries it uses ...

Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE E323

Introduction ---------------- The Minolta DiMAGE E323 is an easy to use camera, well suited for a novice. It is a compact camera with 3.2 mega pixel resolution. It has a 3x optical zoom lens and also captures movies (sound recording not available). Picture exposure, focus, white balance, and flash are all controlled automatically to produce a clear and sharp colour picture, so all the user has to do is point the camera and press the shutter button. ...
...for landscapes to telephoto for portraits. The camera's lens can also focus down to 4.3 inches for close-up photographs. Photos can then be downloaded to the computer using the supplied USB cable. This was the first digital camera I had used and I found the controls and functions very easy to pick up. I even had my mum using it and she is a real technophobe! I recently used it for a works outing, shooting 130 pictures of embarrasing monents and the ...

Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE E323

Having used digital cameras in the course of my job, it was time to bite the bullet and get one of my own. I researched all the relevant specs and decided to plump for the Minolta. A well known and respected brand. I was not disappointed. I wanted a camera with a decent zoom, excellent resolution and something that could fit easily in my handbag! This fulfils all 3 wishes - and a bit more. It comes with a memory card which allows you to take over ...
...only use this outside! The higher resolution gives fantastic shots and the menu options are dead easy to use. It pretty much tells you what to do! There are 2 self timer options which is handy if you have to move a small distance and the viewfinder and red eye reduction are both useful features. ...

Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE E323

Bought this Digital camera after much much research considering performance and price. I was desperate to buy something comparably to the Sony P72 which my brother bought purely on Sony brand name. Not having his money I must say I was not disappointed on the E323 performance. The E323 is a very capable camera, particularly for portrait pictures. On using outdoors I have found the LCD screen to be quite difficult to see, so the viewfinder has to ...
...on most digital cameras. Probably the most awkward aspect is its abilty to produce blurred photos due to camera shake or if the subject is in motion, although this can be eliminated by using the sport setting, this reduces the picture quality, albeit slightly. To avoid camera shake I now prefer to use the viewfinder, instead of the LCD screen. Resting the camera on the nose, gives it far more stability. The other annoyance is the delay between pressing ...

Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE E323

This was my first foray into the digital camera market. After 2 months research (largely comparisons based around and funcitonality) I decided on this one. One of best consumer choices!! As an absolute novice to digital photography this camera is a dream - the manual is easy to read and the functions are easy to understand. The software menu system is simple to use and uses non-technical terms. I can't say how much I am impressed with this product ...
