| michaelac's Full Review: Konica Minolta DiMAGE Xi Digital Camera |
The body has very rugged feel. It has a good quality design. It has a special audio recording mode that will record audio for 30 mins. The camera metering seems to be top notch.
Compared to my Olympus 2100UZ, this micro-sized camera does very well, considering its size. I still prefer the quality of my Olympus images over this Minolta, but I always have to prepare to take the 2100 with me! This camera goes in my wife's purse or my shirt pocket with ease! ...of course, this is why I bought this camera in the first place!
When ordering this camera, be sure to include a second battery. If you run out of power in the middle of nowhere, you can't just pop in a few AAA batteries to get you back up and running... this one is strictly proprietary.
Also get the Minolta case with it. Scratches on brushed metal are not a pretty site.

Yes
Amount Paid (US$): 420
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Flexible Enough for Enthusiasts
