Cons Complex operation, slightly noisy images

After a long cold wet and very unpleasant winter everyone in the Bluegrass State is eagerly looking for signs of spring.

In a word - AWESOME

byJakeblack Oct 31, 2003
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros FAST AF and almost no shutter lag. Antishake feature. Manual lens controls. Excellent...
Cons Zoom lens a little sticky. Memory card included is only 16MB
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this camera for about a week now, and I have tested it indoors and out, in a variety of lighting and shooting scenarios from sports to portraits. I never tried the Minolta 7 series models that the A1 replaces, so you will not see me drawing comparisons based on experience. Although I... Read full review »

I got what I paid for

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small size; uses AA batteries, uses SD card, easy menu system, one-touch playback button.
Cons Slow autofocus; poor low-light performance, long shutter lag, inconvenient lens placement.
Recommended it? No

I bought this camera because it was cheap, it used AA batteries, and it used an SD memory card. Too bad it didn't live up to my expectations.
I take photos only on vacation or for family occasions, so I didn't need a fancy camera with a all the bells and whistles. I only expected the camera to... Read full review »

Konica-Minolta X-31 "Pocket Size Camera At A Bargain Price"

byshenb May 7, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small size easy to drop in pocket, Good optics, Takes very sharp closeups.
Cons Hard to focus in dark shots, Slow flash, Tricky lens placement, Lacks optical viewfinder
Recommended it? Yes

If you need a very small camera that still takes good pics this is it. I purchased this as a 2nd digital camera (my other camera is a Minolta S-414)so I always had one in my pocket ready for a quick shot. This camera should not be your only one but makes a great 2nd. I recomended this to my sister... Read full review »
