Minolta DiMAGE F100 review

I have this camera for 4 years, and I've used it in any condition imaginable (except underwater). I'm looking for a new camera now, and it made me realize, how great F100 really is. I've never seen an ultra-compact that could match it's image quality, many compacts are not even able to do it.
Also full manual is useful, however though menu is easy to read, accesing functions can be time consuming.
As for the cons, it is extremly slow, and in low light, picture can be out of focus, even if camera indicated correct AF mesurment.
To summarize
If you want a small camera with a good image quality, and encounter somewhere F100 take it into serious consideration, its really worth it.

Problems:

Focus lens mechanism broke down, but I was able to fix it for about 25$
Screws tend to srew off, during my 4 years of usage, I've lost 5 of them.
