'The good thing about not being an ultracompact is the availability of space for a built-in metallic tripod receptacle on the X1, so there is no need to lug the connectivity cradle around'
'the Konica Minolta X1 DiMAGE digital camera is highly recommended by many people.'
'Great companion'
'Last reviewed: January 1st 2006 One of the newest ultra-compact cameras on the market, the X1 is not only immaculately styled,'
'Recycle time between shots is an unimpressive 3.6 seconds and nearly 4.9 seconds with flash.'
'Unfortunately, without a video out port, users will only be able to export video and still images through either the memory card or the USB port located on the right side of the camera.'
'It has fast operations, and provides flexible exposure control.'
'its 1.5-inch LCD seems puny in the current market.'
'The X31 captures video at up to 320 by 240 until the memory is full.'
'The DiMAGE X31 is packed with creative options that make digital photography fun'
'Other features include automatic exposure (good news for novices), built-in flash, movie capture and special effects filters for framing and stitching shots.'
'If you're looking for razor-sharp images, this isn't the camera for you'
'The Konica Minolta is a 6 megapixel camera that fits in between the simple point and shoot consumer cameras and the digicams that offer greater manual control of functions.'
'The camera features a GT HEXANON lens, a newly developed Signal Processing Engine'
'no manual white balance or exposure bracketing modes'
'The G400 is a good compromise between a simple point-and-shoot camera and one designed for advanced use--especially if you already own gadgets that use Sony Memory Sticks.'
'Build quality is quite good'
'rechargeable lithium-ion battery'
'I was not impressed with the low light focusing ability of the G400.'
