Konica Minolta DiMAGE X60

Digital Camera Resource Page have just posted their review of the DiMAGE X60. They said-

“While once a pioneer in the ultra-thin camera world, the latest revision of Konica Minolta’s X-series of cameras isn’t much of a standout anymore. The DiMAGE X60 has its charms, but I was disappointed with its photo quality, lack of manual controls, outdated movie mode, and below average battery life.

The X60 is a compact (but not tiny) camera made mostly of metal. It’s easy to hold and operate with one hand. A sliding door covers the lens and also doubles as the power switch. I was not a big fan of the battery door, which comes open way too easily. The X60 has a large 2.5″ LCD with so-so resolution and low light capability. There is no optical viewfinder.

Performance is generally very good. The camera turns on very quickly and shutter lag and shot-to-shot times are all comparable to other cameras in this class. Focus speeds could be a little better, and low light focusing was quite poor due to the lack of an AF-assist lamp. The X60 is a 100% point-and-snap camera — and so is most of the competition. Still, something like manual white balance would’ve been nice, especially if you snap under unusual lighting like I do for these reviews. “
