Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 review

Poor image quality - photos not sharp - even with image stabilization. Photos are
soft, with noise. Long shutter lag.

This is unacceptable quality.

I was so looking forward to this camera. It had everything I wished for in regard to
features. It was the perfect stealth camera for candid photos.

But no. Picture quality killed the deal. Long shutter lag inhibits candid photos.
Darn.

Minolta, I love the A2. The X1 is a disgrace. I was so looking forward to replacing
my Canon SD500. The X1 was suppose to be a step up from the Canon. It was
suppose to be the perfect pocketable camera. But no. Back to the drawing board.
I'm keeping the Canon for now.

Problems:

Picture quality problems
Long shutter lag
