My most improtant consideration when buying a digi

jacklew said:

I have finally bought my S602 two weeks ago. That was after 4
months of endless research and confused over what to look out for.
Finally I came to the conclusion and I think is the most important
of a digi camera or any camera. That is the ability to do a fast
and sharp and correct focusing. No matter how good is the camera,
or its lens or its colour or its price or its brand or whatever. If
the photo is out of focus, it is out of focus and it is useless and
full stop.
Then I make up my mind and just go for S602.
Hope it helps for those new to digi camera.

week) and it's auto-focus was next to useless!

Hey friend,
I am a S602 owner but to be fair, are you sure the auto focus of
Minolta Dimage 5 is next to useless? It looked quite an impressive
prosumer camera. I have yet to know much about this camera but you
sound very serious.

This poor guy had 5 of them that didn't work! I took several
hundred images in the first few days I owned the camera and at
least 50% of them were out of focus in AF mode. Having read the
tale above I just sent the camera back and went for the 602.

Regards,

Neil.
