I am looking to replace my digital camera as it is outdated. Since I have a 35mm Minolta I thought this is something to look into. For my quick snapshots I think there are too many minuses to get this one. I will keep looking.

Thanks for the great review.

Jan,

Neither, it's military slang for the time between midnight and daylight. Isn't English a wonderful language? I put the phrase in italics just for you.

Hi Alan,

Your profile page doesn't display an email address---so if you will email me (my email address is listed on my profile page) I will explain why the review doesn't show. Questions of this sort are best handled through an e-mail exchange.

I can't figure out why my June 16 review does not appear in the ratings. See:
http://www.epinions.com/content_103225069188
or near the bottom of this web page:
http://www.epinions.com/pr-Digital_Cameras-Minolta_Dimage_Xt_Digital_Camera/skp_~1/linkin_id_~/sp_~/search_vertical_~all?search_string=dimage xt

I sent a note to Epinions and no response. Can any of you do something about this? Thanks.

Also, I still love my Dimage XT. You may want to look at a recent review at:

Thanks,
Alan

Recently Cured Of “Wow” Factor Over-Emphasis (Reply to this comment)
by 29th_Candidate

I saw your name mentioned with mine in a "What Not To Do When Writing A Review" editorial written by jankp, in which Jan takes issue with authors of unnecessarily prolix reviews. You and (surprisingly) I were cited as "rule exceptions." Epinionously speaking, I don't get out and about much, but I had previously seen your name bandied about, so I thought I'd take a look at your work.

Well done. Your review indicates to me that Jan may actually HAVE discovered a noteworthy and credible rule exception.

Cheers,

Howard,
Thanks for providing one of the few opportunities I get, to exercise my MH button. I have never been to Kentucky. But after reading so many of your reviews, I wonder why I have never visited.
Some day.. .. .
