 Konica Minolta DiMage ultra compact digital zoom camera October 19, 2007
Michael Burgin (Seattle, WA USA)
I have found this camera to be one of the very best of its type. The operating system is ultra quick, fastest of any digital camera I have ever seen so you can grab that quick picture you might otherwise miss. The pictures are ultra sharp and can easily be enlarged to 11X14. The zoom feature is easy to use and there are more features then most people could ever use. The rechargeable battery lasts a very long time even when heavly using the flash. An added bonus is it has a real viewfinder that makes it easy to use in bright sun. It is easily pocketable, pants or shirt. Its one weakness is the viewscreen, which can be easily broken if the camera is accidently dropped on its edge. The camera is tough enough to keep working, but you'll have to wait to down load your SD card onto your computer to view your shots if you were unluckly enough to break the screen. In general, this is a tough little camera. Too bad Konica Minolta got out of the camera business and too bad Kodak or some other company didn't pick up this model or the X60 and continue manufacturing it. It would take a digital SLR to take better quality pictures.
 Incredible camera, incredibly inept warranty service! They broke my camera! June 26, 2007
Lenice Y. Dixon (Anderson, IN)
The X50 is the ultra ultracompact! But mine had a very common problem. After weeks of normal use and NO DROPPING the LCD got stuck in the ultra high contrast mode! You can see "ghosts" on the screen when you turn it a certain way and you can read some of the menu items. I even used the included A/V cable to see the menus on my TV and adjust the contrast - no luck. So I did the online customer service request for a warranty repair and received the RMA. There was NO DAMAGE to the LCD, it just wouldn't display properly. My X50 still took wonderful pictures, I would just use the button to turn off the barely-functioning display. There were no other problems with my camera. Weeks later I was told by Sony/Konica/Minolta service that my camera (just a few weeks old) suffered from corruption and that they would CHARGE ME for the covered repair. I didn't pay, they sent it back totally BROKEN. No power, no pics, & no recourse for me. They refu$e to return it to the working condition it was in. THEY are CORRUPT!
 Good camera, after two years autofocus fails, but fixable June 5, 2007
Eric R. Hegblom (Santa Barbara, CA)
In case your autofocus stops working (which mine did after attempting to zoom). Power cycling, reseting to factory default, lens cleaning did not help, but after several zoom outs and ins, the autofocus came back. Apparently, the zoom mechanicism some how interfered with the autofocus. Typically, I do not use the zoom feature and will avoid it in the future. Otherwise, for 2+ years, this has been a very good camera.
Very Good Camera April 10, 2007
L. C. Eddleman (Praha 6, Czech Republic)
This camera has met and exceeded all my expectations for portability and quality. However after 2 years of use, the screen stopped working, and with Konica Minolta no longer in operation, locating repair service has been troublesome.
A great little camera January 9, 2007
jbb313 (Birmingham, Alabama, USA)
I purchased a reconditioned X50 to replace a Minolta model Xt, which I also liked very much. The 3.2 megapixel Xt performed great for me for 2 years, so I chose the X50 because of my previous experience with Konica Minolta cameras. However, I have read that Konica Minolta has left the digital camera business, and this makes the X50 even more valuable to me.
The camera has a superfast startup which occurs by simply sliding the lens cover open. Honestly, the X50 is ready to shoot in less than 3 seconds. I currently have four digital cameras and have probably owned twelve digicams over the last seven years, and none of them start as fast as the X50.
Another plus is the compact size of the X50. I carry this camera with me whenever I drive, as it fits neatly in my carry bag with my cell phone, medicines, and other essentials. For me, this is a very important feature, because you can't take pictures if you don't have your camera, and you never know when you'll see something that might turn into a good picture. It also fits neatly into any available pocket, and the zoom lens is unique because it is non-protruding.
The X50 has most of the features digicam users have come to expect: large LCD, numerous special picture settings, 3X optical zoom. It also has a optical viewfinder, which can be useful in brightly lit outside situations. By the way, in my opinion the X50 also takes great pictures.
