Minolta DiMAGE F100 review

i used this camera for 3 years without any problems at all - untill 3 months ago the focus motor stopped working - but in 3 years i took about 150,000 photos with this camera and it worked flawlessly every time - an incredibly reliable camera and a good friend for 3 years

image quality is guite good for a 4mp of its time but is not perfect - some very minor fringing but usually not noticable

lens was banged hard on a playground monkey bars when my son slipped while i was taking his picture and i reached for him with the camera hand - lens was badly dented but never interfered with operation in any way and kept on working for another year and a half - may have been reason the focus motor stopped working

Problems:

extrememly slow in everything - startup + focusing especially frustrating - this is not a good point and shoot unless you keep the settings locked and just shoot it
