Strengths: Size, picture quality, large screen
Weaknesses: Proprietary battery, optical zoom, battery life
Summary: This is a great camera that is compact enough to take anywhere. The Dimage X1 also takes excellent pictures, and the large LCD screen makes picture taking easy. The proprietary battery is the biggest downside, however batteries can easily be found on the web. I'd recommend keeping a spare battery on hand so that your camera can always be fully-charged and ready-to-go. A stronger optical zoom would be nice, but would be difficult to truly accomplish in a camera this compact.

Strengths: Size, Easy to Use, Buttons in great locations, Great Screen Size, Options, Options, Options
Weaknesses: Have to watch covering the lens with your finger, Why don't they make a hard plastic case for this????
Summary: I had the Xg before and I loved that Camera that is the main reson for me buying this one. I haven't had it very long but what little I've used it It works flawlessly. I do wish you could plug in a usb cable with out using the craddel but I can live with it. The most camera you are going to get for your money. I got it for $293 including tax and shipping, and I got a $50 mail in rebate bringing my total to only $243...WOW!!! This camera is so beautiful I am affraid I'll sratch the screen and the silky metal case. Great upgrade from the XG I use too use. If this camera is as durable as my Xg was I'll be completely satisfied.

Strengths: Very compact unit...like a mini TV screen on back:) Great features.
Weaknesses: Shiny case shows fingerprints easily.
Summary: I was surprised by the compact size, but it has all kinds of great features. Probably more camera than I need, but smaller than my original camera (DiMAGE Z2) All-in-all, a great camera.

 Fragile camera and no warranty support Strengths: Design, picture quality, size, ease of use
Weaknesses: Provided soft case inadequate for a pocket camera.
Summary: The soft case that comes with this camera is wholly inadequate for a pocket camera. Don't let the titanium case fool you. I had the camera a couple days. It rode in my front pocket in the soft case for half a day and I don't remember touching anything. It came out of my pocket with a crease across the front of the case and a cracked screen. The manufacturer refused to fix it under warranty and wants $158 to repair it. I told them to return it as is. The insult is bad enough without me having to pay for the privilege.

Strengths: Compact, 8 megapixel, comes in colors, HUGE LCD monitor, optical zoom is non-protruding, anti-shake feature
Weaknesses: If you have big fingers, battery and SD card are a little hard to grasp. Time between flashes is a little long.
Summary: This is an extremely excellent camera. Takes great pictures, is compact and zoom does not stick out when zooming. I got the black camera which is unique. LCD is extremely large which makes it easy for a group to see. Takes great close in pictures. Wish I had this camera long ago...if it was available.

Strengths: Large screen, batter life, can hook up video with sound to TV, picture quality, video and sound quality
Weaknesses: sometimes the zoom
Summary: This camera is by far the best I have seen for it's size. If you are looking for good pictures from compact camera this is the one to get. The screen on the back makes it so clear to see and all the options for this camera for instance the anti hand shake is wonderful.

Strengths: Slim and good looking
High megapixels
Large LCD viewfinder
Anti-shake technology
Weaknesses: Not enough protection for the LCD viewfinder. No backup viewfinder.
Summary: This is a very nice looking digital camera. It' so compact
that it can fit in my coat pocket. Large LCD display.
What you see on the display is what you get. No guessing.
Good quality photos. Absolutely very little money for a whole lot of camera. It would be nice that it could
even zoom more. But then consider the money that I am paying. I would recommend this camera to friend.

Strengths: Everything, huge screen, so easy even my girlfriend can use it, sleek, small, sick!
Weaknesses: None that I've found so far
Summary: I bought this camera for my girlfriend, who has zero experience/confidence working with a camera. She took to it immediately, and was able to figure it all out - videos, stills, navigating all the settings. She loved it. The camer is sleek, so compact and light and versatile. I think its a great gift and a great camera!

 Very stylish but.... Strengths: Picture resolution is great for pictures taken outside with daylight. Menu and zoom are easy to learn and use. Box comes with 32 mb and 256 mb storage card and leather clip on carrying case.
Weaknesses: However, inside pictures or outside pix in dark don't come out as i was hoping for. The pictures lack sharpness and true colors.
Summary: I decided to return the camera because I need it mainly inside stores where the quality of the pictures was far from perfect. I liked the handling and the anti-shake but that only goes so far for me. I am considering buying the Canon A620 which took great pictures when I tried it out inside a store.

Strengths: Easy to use. Easy to see.
Weaknesses: All cameras should come with a min. of 128mb card.
Summary: Good Camera. Have had 1 sony T-1. This is a better camera. It charges in the cradle unlike my sony T-1. Truely an easy camera to use. Menus are easy and taking pictures is a piece of cake.

Strengths: 8 MP, Anti-shake, Titanium colored metal casing.
Weaknesses: No optical viewfinder, only 3X optical zoom, Have to use the menu function to access useful features.
Summary: This is my third (and last) Dimage X series digi-can I have owned, and by far the best. It has 8 MP that generates a 4MB file per shot! Enough to get large color prints with plenty of detail, but You'll need to set a lower resoluction if you want to email them. It has a sopt focus and metering modes, but there is no quick way to access them, only via the menu setting. Anti-shake will help reduce blur in some pictures, but is not 100% accurate. This camera doesn't have an optical viewfinder, but not too many compact digi-cams have them anyway. Also when in movie mode avoid using the optical zoom. The built in microphone will pick up zooming sound. The camera comes with a 32MB enough to shoot only about 9 pictures at 3264x2448 resolution. Lastly I wish it had a more powerful optical zoom, since I'm not a big fan of digital zoom. Overall a good digi-cam for the price.

Strengths: Compactability; Ease of Use, & Large Screen Size
Weaknesses: View Screen does not depict lighting very well in close to dark situations
Summary: The Dimage X1 Digital Camera to me is overall a great camera which is compact, very easy to use, and has a large 2.5" view screen.
The camera's overall size is very compact and fits well in your shirt pocket or in a lady's small purse.
The camera is easy to use due to the fact that the few buttons which apply to the many different options in the menu work for various changes towards the camera's abilities. Most times once you have already set your ideal settings you do not have to change anything else and all that is left is shoot the picture.
The view screen is ideal in size and is very clear in medium to high lighted situations, although it does not work very well in low lighted situations and during this time a manual eye slot would have worked just fine on the camera.
Even still overall I would recomend this camera.
