This is my second Minolta Camera and both have broken within 1 year of use. The pictures it took while it was working were nice, but it did not work for very long. This camera is completely unreliable and I will never buy from Minolta again.

I recommended this camera to several friends who went out and bought one. In one case the camera batteries went dead too soon and also the lens cover would not close. I think it is trying to close and this is what causes the battery to die early. He sent it to a dealer in Montreal who charged 110 to repair and its still the same. I have seen another on this forum with the same problem and noted one on ebay that wont close the lens cover. It's a motorized sliding door. I found another user with the same problem and have seen bad words said about Minolta customer support. I am looking for another camera and you will find mine on ebay!

I have had this camera for over a year and for the most part I am happy with it.
- The size is great
- It turns on and off very quickly
- Easy to use
The only things that I don't like about the camera is its flash and the lag time when you push the button to take the picture.
I really wanted a camera that takes pictures right when you push the button but it takes it a second sometimes.
Over all I love this camera and would recommend it.

I have had my Dimage for about a year now. I used to use it often with the marine case while I was out kayaking. The image quality, features, and responsiveness of the camera are outstanding. However, the battery life on this camera is horrible! I think I have spent more in batteries then I did for the camera itself. Even with the flash suppressed and a new, charged battery, 20-30 shoots is all I can get. As another reviewer mentioned, it seems to be getting worse with age, making me suspect it is something in the camera circuits.

Having investigated online for a while, I choose this camera and have been very happy with it. It came with a 128 MB memory card which is more than enough for the number of pictures I'll ever take over the course of a weeklong vacation. It also came with a spare battery that seems to be the only limiting factor in the camera's use. I've used it to take numerous one-handed shots while riding a motorcycle - that's what I like about its size and definitive "click".

It's quick to startup and downloads fairly quickly onto my computer. I especially like the ability to crop and title pictures before printing. And with the new stuff coming out all the time, the price of this unit - new or used - has really come down. I even found the 128MB card on sale recently for $18!

Overall, it's a nice little camera.
