Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Super Quick Startup; ready just seconds after you turn it on. Different color presets to take pictures: color, black & white, sepia to be the most popular; blue, red, green) Compact and light to carry

Weakness: Night shots are not that great.

I bought this camera to have a small, quick start-up camera to take with me everywhere. I love every aspect of this camera, if you are looking for a great point and shoot for little money. I only have one major complaint: Even with the "night shot" mode on, the night pics are not that great. I take pictures mostly at night, in clubs/bars of live bands playing, with a lot of movement, and the...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: very compact. fits easiliy in my pocket. runs on AA batteries. zooms in far. automatically adjusts to light.

Weakness: small LCD screen.

this camera is outstanding. it's my first digital camera, and i really like its compact size. for only $144.00, it was by far the best camera out there for the money. the camera has the ability to adjust to the light in whatever room you're in, so any lighting scenario is not a problem for this camera. the pictures are very sharp. it even has the ability to record video and audio. as long as you...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: For a 2.1 MP camera it gives remarkable clear pictures. It is very small (reason I purchased it) and fits easily in a pocket.

Weakness: Cannot erase entire memory card from the camera. Have to connect to a computer and erase from there. You can erase one picture at a time directly from the camera.

This is a very small and convenient to use camera that will satisfy anyone looking for a handy camera to take quick pictures. It's size, coupled with a 3X optical zoom, is its best features. I have 2 other digital camera and this one is priarily when I need the convenience of putting it in my pocket.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Very compact, lightweight, 3X optical zoom, reasonable price

Weakness: Only 2 megapixel, short battery life

This is a great choice for someone who wants a very compact, reasonably priced, simple, point and shoot camera. This has to be the smallest camera available with 3X optical zoom for less than $200. The optical zoom is unique because it is housed entirely inside the camera body. The only real disadvantage of this camera is that it is only 2 megapixel, which is fine for 5 X 7 or 6 X 9 prints, but...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Price, small size, non-proprietary battery & memory card, good flash range (for a subcompact), very fast startup, very fast shot-to-shot, good redeye (for a subcompact), good LCD, excellent macro

Weakness: No AF illuminator, no manual focus or at LEAST some focus presets, can't focus on some low-light subjects at tele end. Center button awkward. Stupid menu system. Doesn't show zoom position. Soft pix.

This is very close to my ideal "carry" digicam. CHeap, fast, small, AA batts, SD/MMC. Card slot is not behind a door so it's very easy to swap cards in and out. USB connector is not covered by a stupid rubber plug like on other cams. It's got a very neat sliding cover. Macro capabilities are excellent. First, you don't have to turn it on, it's auto-macro like the Cybershot U. Second, you can get...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Uses AA batteries, very portable, great pictures (up to 8x10), 3X Optical Zoom with no protrusions

Weakness: Included 8MB SD Flash memory is too small for more than a dozen pictures, no optical view finder

I placed a pair of 1800 MaH NiMH batteries in the X20 the day it arrived as I have never had good luck with alkalines that these cameras ship with. Now after two weeks of use and taking about 60 pictures and a half dozen movie clips the batteries are still going strong. The camera comes up as soon as the power is turned on and the Optical Zoom is easy to use. The autofocus requires you to pause...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Compact, beautiful, and durable body design. 3X optical zoom. Excellent picture quality. Very easy to operate. Reasonable price for such a slim camera.

Weakness: It's kind of easy to cover the lens by my finger when taking pictures since the lens is not extending.

This camera is super for a "point and shoot" model. It absolutely has a head-turning design. The LCD viewer is very clear although kind of small. The picture quality is excellent under all kinds of shooting environments. I couldn't believe my eyes when I printed out those beautiful pictures from my photo printer. It's very easy to learn how to use and set up this camera. A big plus is that the...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: It is very compact,light and fashionable.

Weakness: 3X optical zoom is not enough.

If one is not a camara expert, 2 megapixel is enough. But I think, it is better to improve 3X optical zoom to 5X or more. The shape is wonderful and it is very convenient to use AA batteries.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Tiny, Movie clip w/sound

Weakness: VERY VERY Slow auto focus and recycle time

This camera is amazingly good for taking portraits and scenery under bright daylight and well lit rooms for such a tiny camera, but the object must be able to hold still for a LONG time, because the auto focus is very very slow. Another problem is that I can't turn the flash light off in a not so well lit area, it'll say the hand is shaking severly and ends up with a blurry picture. The same for...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Small, optical zoom, video+audio limited only by card size, uses standard AA batteries, fast operation.

Weakness: None for my applications.

Haven't had it too long, but I am enjoying it. Didn't need a huge 5 MP cam as I am using this to take small pictures and video of family events and such. Simple and nice pic quality.

Minolta DiMAGE X20

The latest Minolta "X"-series camera is the new DiMAGE X20, a subcompact 2-megapixel unit with Minolta's signature "folded optics" 3x internal zoom lens. Very cheap for a subcompact model, with a street price close to $200, the X20 makes a great "second" camera for folks on the go.
