X MARK THE SPOT

Strengths: Internal Zoom, 5-MP, Optical View Finder.

Weakness: No case, Focus hunts in low light.

Having owned the original Dimage X, it was a very easy decision to upgrade to the X50 and get twice the resolution. I chose this model over the newer X60, which has a bigger LCD, because of the optical viewfinder. The viewfinder although a little too small for my taste has proven to be effective when shooting in light levels too low for the LCD screen to display. Another issue I encountered is...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: 1. Small size 2. No protuding zoom lens 3. Fast start up 4. 2 inch LCD screen very clear 5. continues movie recording 6. Voice recording 7. AV cord so you can view pics on TV

Weakness: 1. If taking quick pictures some pictures may be out of focus. 2. Software a bit slow and difficult to use

Overall a great point and shoot camera. Its small enough so I can take it with me everywhere. Move recording is great especialy in good lighting. Slide show works well as it play everything on my 512 sd card on TV, it goes through pics and movies. The movie recording on TV is full size and good quality when recorded in good lighting without using the zoom. The other good feature is I can take a...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Ultra compact with lots of features for the size, Durable body.

Weakness: Viewfinder does not give full picture to be shot

This camera is great. For the size it cannot be beat. Sony has one of the same size but without a viewfinder. I have the Sony 707 and it is wonderful but it is huge. Both have 5 mp and of course the Sony has more features, but on my last trip I chose to take the Konica because of its size. It uses a Sony chip so the picture is comparable to the 707. It has fast recharge and the sd card is...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Size is small, can fit in shirt pocket. 2 Inch viewing screen. User friendly. 5 Megapixels. Fast startup time. Minimal delay between pictures. Timer. Flat base on camera. Tripod mount. Viewfinder.

Weakness: One data transfer problem. Seemed to self correct itself. Could have been an just an anomoly or user error.

This is our 1st digital camera. We briefly used a Pentax Optio pro and wanted a comparably sized camera. Other cameras considered: Pentax Optio Pro, Sony Cybershot DSC-T1. We use the timer regularly and may use the tripod mount in the future. The Dimage X50 is slightly less than an inch thick and has a flat base. This makes for good stability when setting the camera down. Sony’s comparable...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Very compact, high quality, lots of features, convenient controls, good quality photos, relatively inexpensive

Weakness: low light focusing is a bit weak

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool 35mm SLR user because the big cameras nearly always get the shot and the big flashes are good out to 50 feet or more. HOWEVER, you can't tuck one away in your pocket, purse or glovebox so that you have it when you need it. Even a $5000 SLR is worthless sitting at home in a drawer. OK, so maybe we lower our standards a little in order to at least have a chance of capturing...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: 1) None protruding zoom lens 2) Small size 2.4 X 3.3 X 0.9 3) Image quality is very good indoors 4) Built in flash works well indoors 5) LCD quality is awsome 6) Fast startup time

Weakness: 1) It comes with only 16 MB of SD memory 2) Battery charge only lasted for 11 highest quality images taken indoors. (Flash probably used lots of it) 3) Cannot take date & time off from images.

Overall this is a great point and shoot camera. It's very easy to use and output quality is comparable to the 8 MB digital cameras. However, the battery life is not as long as Minolta claims to be. The startup time is excellent if you want to catch the quick moving object and do not have too much time to boot up. I would recommend getting a bigger SD card (I've gotten the 512 MB version). Be very...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Very small & lightweight; easy to use, even for a beginner; high quality photos, even at lowest quality setting.

Weakness: Poor quality photos in low light, especilly with zoom.

I am a newcomer to photography. In the past, I never remembered to carry and/or use my cameras because they were so larger & bulky. This one is a dream. So lightweight & easy to use. I tucked it into my fanny back in Disneyworld & was good to go. It's top-notch. I recommend this camera even to folks like me, who are novices to digital photograhy. A great deal for the price.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Compactness, Metal casing, tripod socket.

Weakness: none

I’ve owned the DiMage Xt for over two years now, which is predecessor to the DiMage X50. When I heard that Minolta was coming out with an upgrade (DiMage 50) to it, I couldn’t wait buy it. In order to judge the X50, I have to review about the Xt and then I explain the upgrades on the X50. First of all, the XT is my favorite because is compact and you can carry it anywhere and feel...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Size, menu.

Weakness: Low light situations slow camera speed. Battery.

Great camera, especially for it's size. Has all the latest features and is easy to use. Comes with great software. It's main weekness is that in low light situations it takes a while to find it's focal point and when you add the red-eye preflash to that you can miss the shot. I recommend taking it off red-eye and setting it to a regular flash. (Use the software to fix redeye after the fact.) The...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Compact size.

Weakness: Shutter-lag time not as good as lag-time from off to 1st shot.

Very nice and compact camera. Good image quality. Battery not chargeable in the camera - must be removed, even when using AC adapter. Fast off to 1st shot, not as fast from shot to shot.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50

I've been a fan of Minolta's (now Konica Minolta's) "X" line of subcompact cameras since the original version was first introduced nearly three years ago. Ultra-compact digital cameras often seem to involve a lot of compromises and tradeoffs, but the new DiMAGE X50 takes very nice photos under a wide range of conditions, and offers a decent range of exposure control (exposure compensation and...
