    Good Points: Fast start up time, small size, battery life, no protruding lense which is a very cool feature and generally a delight to use. Sit-on battery charger is very handy and the memory card handling ability is very useful.


    Bad Points: None found so far.


    General comments: I purchased a Minolta Dimage Xt more by luck than by design but I'm glad that I did. It's great for keeping in my pocket and is of course unobtrusive.

    I like the way the lense is protected when it's switched off but do agree that you have to be careful not to obstruct the lense with your fingers when taking a photo. The images that I have collected so far are definitely superior to photos taken on point-and-shoot film cameras or my old HP Photosmart.

    The movie mode is very useful and the microphone is incredibly sensitive so watch what you mutter under your breath as you film!

    This is an excellent introduction to good quality digital photography and I would highly recommend this camera to anyone, even my wife, the technophobe, can use it.

    Minolta Dimage Xt - This camera is great! It's very compact but really stylish. It doesn't have the lens whirring out of the front like most compact digitals with zoom, but that just adds to the pose value for me, as people always tend to say "Oh, it hasn't got optical zoom" when you take photo's. The zoom is built into the camera body and is quiet and accurate, at the expense of speed. I personally don't use the Minolta software as I connect it to my PC and it sees it as a hard drive with JPE ...

    Minolta Dimage Xt - Bought it after I bought and very much liked an Xi for my wife. They've improved the only flaw in the Xi (the card/battery door). Mine lives on my belt through my active work day and has survived three drops to date. Be careful not to allow your fingers to obscure the lens (in the top left corner). An excellent buy. Now I'm looking at the X50 (5 MP version).

    This camera is the 3rd incarnation of the Minolta Dimage X series. The reason you would want to buy this camera is because it's small, convenient to carry and easy to use. It is ideal for parties and things like snapshots.

    I do not use this camera for 'serious' photography, as I have a film camera, although it's taken very nice photos (comparable to more expensively priced DSLRs at A4 size). Remember that compared to 35mm film quality there are only 2 (v expensive) DSLRs that can boast compar ...

    Well protected (fully enclosed lens structure) has survived many a dropping on drunken student nights and stil works fine. will not focus without a good light source. Slow to focus and take photos even in good light - slow software.
