Summary: Five starts are not enough!
Review: This is my second digital camera and I am thrilled with it! What I love about this camera is its manual settings which allow you to control f-stops and aperature. But it's also fully automatic, so I can snap a quick shot, or set up exactly what I want for a protrait of the night sky. The scene settings in the automatic mode are also very nice. I like the sunset one especially.

The video feature is uniqe because sound is included with video--great memory maker. I have not used the audio recording feature much, but on a 128MB card, I can record up to 30 minutes of audio at a time!

Minolta makes a great product; the optics are the highest quality. This camera is perfect for those who want to dive into the digital camera market at the top of the class and also for those who want a no-nonsense user-friendly product that takes maginficent photos. Five stars is not enough for this product!

Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: Two choices when i wanted to buy a digcam:Dimage F100 or Sony Cybershot DSC-P9. both 4MP, similar design, weight and size. Minolta is ($$$) cheaper but no AC adaptor, charger and rechargeable batteries. these cost about ($$$). So no big difference. so far, the pic quality is perfect and it is very easy to use.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent handfeel, well functioning (new) focus system
Review: Very good package at a good price compared to other bulky competitors. Functions are better designed than the Canon S40. feels comfortable and heavy enough to take stable shots. The autofocus makes it easier for other family members to take pictures and enjoy the camera too.

It would be better if it came with a minolta charger, but I guess most do not ==> Don't forget to order good batteries and a battery charger.

Download to the computer is much faster than I thought it would be. On the negative side , voice recording with video mode seems a littel weak.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mixed Blessings
Review: While the F100 is optically terrific and physically sized for convenience, the LCD monitor is vitually invisible in bright outdoor light. Also, the camera's housing is very fragile. Packing the F100 without a hard carrying case in a full backpack will likely dent the camera's housing and void the warranty.
