Horrible Camera

Strengths: None-Many cameras do much, much more for less. The would be strengths aren't worth listing becasue they are of poor quality (e.g. lcd screen).

Weakness: Grainy pictures The camera has trouble focusing Flash is weak Battery Life is Horrible (less then 30 pics!) LCD screen isn't clear Build quality is poor

Be forewarned: This camera is garbage! Here is my expereince: After doing a lot of research on digital cameras I finally decided to buy the E500. It fit all of my criteria (4+ mega, sd mem, it is pretty slim and compact, it has a large lcd, and it uses AA batts). So the camera sounds nice in theory when you add all the features together, all for a reasonable price. However, this camera doesn't...

cheap looking camera that somewhat performs

Strengths: SD card, AA batteries, light

Weakness: cheap body, poor low light AF, doesn't work with some generic AA

my first impression was a surprise one. I was trying to put in a generic alkaline AA battery into this camera and somehow because of odd battery contact design, the unit wouldn't power up. When switch to the included AA, the unit power up fine. The LCD screen is grainy in low light environment, but in a well fluorescent lighted room it's acceptable. one major draw back of this camera is AF in low...

DiMage E500

What a nice little camera! One of the cheapest 5MP cameras out there. I admit, I'm not too thrilled about how it looks (too simple), but it's so small and light when compared with my Sony DSCP-92. Takes good photos most of the time; doesn't work as well in darker conditions. Takes SD card, which is one of the cheaper media. Get a card at least 512MB, which allows you to take about 190 photos at...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE E500 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Cheap, easy to use, good optical zoom, cute camera for an adorable lady like my girlfriend. can be used with a SD card which is not expensive. good digital camera for casual use

Weakness: The internal memory is a little bit small. I had to buy a 1GB SD card with it. But for this price , I have nothing to complain.

I bought this camera as a gift for my girlfriend. It is small enough to put into her cute little handbags. She just uses it to take pictures for everything she sees. The picture quality is good, the software is simple to install. It is good.

Nice camera at a great price

Strengths: Inexpensive. Use AA batteries. Easy to setup/use. 2.0 inches LCD. Use SD media.

Weakness: Only 12mb internal memeory. Doesn't have lot of pre-load picture modes.

A name-brand 5MP camera for under $199, great price! Doesn't have a lot of pre-load picture modes like the other more expensive camera does, but offers enough features for taking pictures in normal conditions. It is very easy to setup/use. Use 2 AA as power source so I can use my own NiMH recharable AA batteires. Upload pictures to PC is very easy, jut hook up the USB cable and Windows XP...

Decent camera for the price

Strengths: AA Batteries, 5mp, SD media, very easy to use/operate, 2" LCD

Weakness: small int. memory, chintzy body

For the price of the camera, there aren't alot of certain things this camera cannot do and has some features that no camera has at this price range. The 2" LCD and taking 5mp pictures are impressive all on its own for a cam under $200. The camera takes sharp pictures and is very easy to operate, and it does operate as a webcam as well. The body could stand to be a little tougher, but it is a...

The Dimage E500 - An Excellent Digital camera

Strengths: The Dimage E500 is the best camera I've ever owned. It is compact, highly reliable and easy to operate.

Weakness: No weaknesses have been identified since using and owning this product except that the billingual manual is larger than necessary.

The style of the camera is very sleek and the operation is virtually seamless. The photos are clear and clean for the 5.0 megapixel that is the strong quality of this camera. The accessories that are included enable the user to easily download pictures to the pc and the case, strap, pc cable are reliable and perform well. This camera is highly reccommended to anyone wishing to take many photos on...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE E500 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Size, weight, looks, image quality

Weakness: Dim LCD viewfinder (fine when reviewing), battery life average.

I am wondering if all these reviews are of the same camera. I bought mine as a refurbished item with a 256MB SD card for £85UK. Battery life with standard alkalines (5M resolution, minimum compression) was certainly better than my previous 1M Kodak model (4xAA cells). With 2400mAH NiMH cells it was significantly better still, even with a high proportion of flash shots. I haven't tried "ultra"...

I Would Buy It Again!

Strengths: 5MP; 3X Optical & 4X Digital Zoom; USB

Weakness: None Found Yet

Needed to upgrade from serial communication camera. I had to go on a business trip and needed a digital camera to record some info, quickly came up with some "requirements" and found the Konica-Minolta Dimage E500. Purchased the camera at Sears for $149.99. I found the camera easy to use and comfortably compact. Uploading pictures with the USB is quick and easy. I am happy and would buy this...
