General Comments
Like the knight, I was less than impressed with the Konica Minolta Dimage digital camera.



The first point is the time lag between the shutter being pressed and a photo taken, which is on average 2-3 seconds, and that is poor, even for a budget camera.



My main gripe is the short battery life and unreliable operation, i.e. failing to start up, unpredictable shut downs, one minute battery dead indication, the next two 'bars' on the indicator. Even when downloading with an adaptor, the power will suddenly fail. I returned the camera to Jessops to be looked at, but they weren't bothered.



I find the picture quality average, but even so, wild horses shouldn't drag you to this camera.
