This review is from: Minolta Dimage 2300 2.3MP Digital Camera KitThe Minolta Dimage 2300 finally appeared, and at a lower price than expected. It includes rechargeable batteries and recharger, which is a nice touch. The case and cables make a complete digital camera package with no extras needed. It easily fits in pants pocket or briefcase. The primary selection controls are convenient on a single knob - more so than Olympus D460; its other controls are reasonably easy to learn too. The manual is excellent. The Dimage 2300 has twice the pixels (2 Megapixels) at about the same price as the D460. Unfortunately Minolta put no optical zoom on this camera, so you lose pixels when you use the electronic zoom; compare with D460, in which you get optical plus electronic zoom for total of 6x, more than 2300 offers. The Minolta offers a wide range of image sizes and qualities (4) to fit your needs, but if you want the best quality, the 8 Mb CompactFlash only holds one; with other qualities it holds 9, 24, or 47 full size pictures. The performance of the Dimage 2300 has been very good, and the built in USB to PC or Mac using the Adobe PhotoShop provided make this a keeper, being moderately priced for a good quality product. If you want supoer high quality professional ditigal cameras or ones using a wide range of interchangeable lenses, looks elsewhere and take a fat wallet.
This review is from: Minolta Dimage 2300 2.3MP Digital Camera KitI've had the Dimage 2300 a few months now and up until the present moment it's been a solid camera. Pretty decent image quality and good performance, considering the price.All of a sudden it started bugging out. Specifically, it would blink the low battery signal after just having bought batteries. I'd try putting the camera in PC mode so I could upload all the pictures to my PC and I'd get an error on my computer saying that "The camera could not be located properly." Not only that but the camera would blink low battery again. Very frustrating; at this point I'm thinking I just threw 400 bucks out the window.I don't know if the internal processor is cheaply designed or what, but I can say that there certainly is a reason for this camera being as cheap a price as it is. Take heed.
This review is from: Minolta Dimage 2300 2.3MP Digital Camera KitI purchased this product and right from the start I had problems with it. It would not download to my computer properly. It would only download 6-7 pictures one time then only 3-4 another, all the time not allowing me to complete the download. I called Minolta tech support and the tech I spoke to knew less then I did. I returned the camera to where I purchased it and was given another one. Right out of the box it did the exact same thing. Again I called Minolta and was told to send the camera to New Jersey. Two NEW camera's and I have to send them to Jersey, come on guys at Minolta. What happened to the name recognition and quality of your products. I will never purchase another Minolta product. I have Canon camera's and have NO PROBLEMS. And what about the tech support, NONE (no help at all). Spend your money on another product.
