Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 review

Easy to use camera with a lot of features. Manual adjustment possibilities are good. The possibility to select different functions to various buttons for direct access is very convenient!

Many selectable photo modes.

Problems:

To me the I'd say bellow average performance in picture quality was disappointing. Manual adjustments helped a little. There is no single major issue apparrent to me. Issues I felt not to be at the expected level were:

- strong barrel distortion with wide angle
- pictures are on the soft side
- high noise in many pictures
- washed out colours in many outdoor pictures
- sensitivity to light scattering/diffraction

These issues let me send the camera back and buy another one...

I would suggest that you test this camera before you buy it!
