Steve Sanders over at Steves-Digicams has just posted a first look of a pre-production Minolta DiMAGE F100 digital camera. The F100 is an ultra-compact, metal bodied, four megapixel, three times optical zoom digital camera which stores images on SD/MMC cards. This is prime competition for Canon's PowerShot S40. At this stage Steve has no conclusion about the F100 but has been allowed to post sample images from the camera.
