After my first beloved Minolta Dimage X Camera was accidentally lost last year, I really wished to have another, as this camera took some of the best, clear, and beautiful pictures of any digital camera I had ever used or seen. I also never had a problem with it, so I looked for and purchased not one, but two used Minolta Dimage X cameras from two different Amazon sellers. The first camera's shutter button jammed after around 100 pictures were taken and no longer works. The second camera took nothing from day one but foggy, blurred pictures whenever the zoom lens was even slightly adjusted, and the only clear pictures were those that did not utilize the zoom option. And again, after taking only 125 pictures on the second camera the shutter button fell off and it also no longer works.
I'm out over $150.00 with two busted cameras and would not advise anyone to buy this camera used. I give this camera and my Amazon shopping experience "zero" stars.

Cute size encourages leisure use, but beware of the fragility of this camera. I dropped it and broke the cheap plastic battery cover and the tiny plastic battery hold-down tab. Minolta wanted $181 to replace. Seems like a rip-off since these are simple plastic parts and are easily accessible. Poor service.

I bought this when I was mobilized for OIF. I kept it in the pocket of my blouse the whole time, shooting pictures every where I went. Great shots, plenty of storage space. I never felt the need to use max resolution. Unfortuantely I lost it last week and am shopping for a replacement. I'm checking out the X31 and X50 which cost less than this one was.

I have had this camera for about three years, an it is a great machine.It is small, light weight, and it takes o.k. pictures. When I bought it, it only held 12 picture, (I don't know why)but I recently bought a new memory card,and it is great. You can make voice recordings, and take small video clips (35 seconds). The battery life is ok, but not what I would have wanted. Overall, this camera is a great digital camera.

After 2 years the view finder became distorted and out of alignment. Hopefully it can be repaired but there seems to be a lot of used cameras of this model advertised. I wonder why?
