Top design and featured compact digital camera

Advantages: Slim design, Beautiful finish, Fantastic pixell count, non protruding zoom lens
Disadvantages: slightly fiddly to hold, lens hood mechanism suspect.

As an active rock climber wanting to record my experiences as I was climbing, I was looking for a compact camera without a protruding lens and as high a pixel count as possible. I narrowed the field down to Konica's own X60 due to its fast start-up times, but on looking at Konica's web site was seduced by the features and massive pixel count of the new X1. I bought the camera online for a very reasonable £179 and waited eagerly for it to arrive. ...
...struck by its simple design beauty - much like an Ipod - "less is more". It arrived in an attractive anodised red finish (silver and black also available) and I started playing straight away. I do have a couple of gripes with this camera. Firstly it is quite slippy to hold with no features on the anodised body to add purchase and after a couple of days I found the lens cover mechanism would stick half open then half shut when closing down the camera ...

An overall disappointment

Advantages: 6 Megapixels, great design, internal zoom mechanism
Disadvantages: Bad noise ratio, blurry images, slow start-up, slow shutter speed

This camera was purchased mainly as a "pocket camera" with the intention of it being carried everywhere for those spur-of-the-moment snaps. Out of the box the camera is sleek and sexy. The finish, almost a pure mirror, certainly catches the eye. With the manufacturers name of Minolta I was hoping to have another excellent camera. At this point (before my burglary!) I also had a Minolta 7Hi semi-pro digital camera. The quality of shots from the 7Hi ...
...I was hoping similar results from the X1. Sadly, I was greatly disappointed. I took a few standard test shots with and without a flash; internal low-light, external bright light, close up macro shots, vibrant colours, high contrast, etc. Unfortunately I was so disappointed with every shot that within one hour of receiving the camera it was put back in it's box and was being sent back for a refund or alternative camera. Such a bitter disappointment ...

Great Camera with a couple of niggles!

Advantages: Digital Zoom, Size of whole camera.
Disadvantages: User Manual is thick and all English!

Lovely light camera that looks great! I have given it a good rating only for a few reasons - Its really fiddly trying to get the SD card in and out, and with the battery being in the same place, its the same for that too! Now I haven't had a problem with the door that opens that compartment, but, some reviews that I have read are saying it breaks easily and costs a fortune to get it fixed! Also I haven't worked out yet, even thought I've had it ...
...dark areas or even outside at night. Now the one thing that upset me was, whilst on honeymoon, I used the record feature and it caused problems with the camera. It would not save what I had recorded and the whole camera crashed......I have been told that there could be 3 reasons for that. 1) SD card problems 2) Whilst going through airport xray etc machines it caused a malfunction with camera. 3) Just a camera misfortune. I would note that ...

Feature full and Stylish

Advantages: Stylish, feature packed, stylish
Disadvantages: Aftercare, delicate

Well what can I say... this thing looks stunning, very stylish, very slim and packed full of features. We bought this during our holiday in Gran Canaria last year and it ha s had loads of use since. The 8Megapixel quality is superb although the quality od the 2.5 inch screen is not up to much, its only when you see the photo printed out for real or on the computer screen that you can really see how good it is. When it comes to features its also very ...
...video with sound. All I would recommend is to buy a large SD card to go with it, otherwise you will be forever going back to your computer to upload the images from the camera. It comes in a great looking cradle and when the camera sits in it looks so good next to my other gadgetry! Although the company was taken over by Sony a year or so sago they do not do repairs and ours is a little battered, the lens protector is a little delicate to so watch ...

a handy dandy camera

Advantages: handy
Disadvantages: pictures taken at night is not that good

...when we got his camera Konica Minolta Dimage x1 from my sister in law from the States. When i saw this camera i fell inlove with it because of it's style and color. It looks so sophisticated and very handy especially to people like us who likes to take pictures everytime there's something interesting. It is very easy to use with it's anti shake features which helps me a lot. It makes my shots clearer and not blurred. Also it has an SD memory card ...
...not worrying that it might get full anytime. On the other hand, i have tried to use it at night and have compared the quality of the picture that were taken in the morning. And to my dismay, it was not that good. You have to have a sufficient light for the picture to appear bright also. Another thing is the video feature of it, it is also will appear dark when you have not sufficient light while taking a shot. But, all in all i am satisfied with ...
