| hungt's Full Review: Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20 Digital Camera |
- Image quality is actually very good. but a bit soft
- 2AA NiMH can last the whole day using in as a tourist
-LCD turns out to be excellent and adequate to be used in outdoor and indoor.
- the slideshow function is nice. You can set the display time and allow animation (LCD and on TV)
- this X20 is made of plastic, not aluminum!
- To delete a frame is very unpractical: you have to push/scroll the navigation button six times until you get to finally delete the frame.
- you have to press the button half way down to focus the camera. The camera does not autofocus in real-time. It takes about from 0.5 to 2 seconds to focus depending on the luminosity of the subject. Therefore, it can take a few seconds between the time you press the shutter button and the time the image is actually taken.
- flash is under power. Do not count on it beyond 6ft. The ironic thing is that it tends to wash out the subject from 0 to 6 ft (flash color too white maybe?).
- video movie is a bit dark
Recommended:
Yes
Amount Paid (US$): 195
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Easy Enough for Anyone to Use
