Minolta DiMage F300

You'll either love or hate the Minolta DiMage F300's long, square, utilitarian-looking body. But underneath its all-metal skin is a camera whose sophistication ranges from "auto-everything" point-and-shoot capability to full manual exposure control....

Konica Minolta Dimage F300 Digital Camera Camera

WHAT'S HOT: The DiMage F300 combines stylish good looks and a great set of features. Its tough aluminum case holds a 3X optical zoom lens and a 5-megapixel sensor, and the camera is svelte enough to fit easily into a pocket. At 7.8 ounces (including...

Fortunately, you can turn them off selectively; that is, you can turn off the sound the camera makes when you're navigating the menus but leave the shutter button sound on. What's more, this is the only camera we've seen that allows you to record your...

Minolta DiMAGE F300 Digital Camera Review

At a glance, the F300 with its aluminium body finish & stainless steel lens rings gives the camera a good solid feel. The camera is loaded up with plenty of features, the best of all a 5.0 mega pixel capture combined with a sharp Minolta GT lens. The...

Minolta DiMAGE F300

There's a lot of competition in the small 5 Megapixel arena. How does the F300 compare? Find out now..

Good photo quality, sharp images ; Full manual controls ; LCD info display, a rarity on smaller cameras ; Small, well designed metal body ; Impressive Subject Tracking autofocus and automatic "scene mode" features ; Good movie mode (3 mins w/sound)

Higher than average noise in images (side effect of ultra-sharp images) ; No AF illuminator ; Flimsy doors covering SD/MMC and battery compartments ; Slow moving lens ; Too much shutter lag ; Saving a TIFF file locks up the camera for over 35 seconds

The Minolta DiMAGE F300 is another one of those cameras that I like, but at the same time don't think is the best of the pack (I'd give that award to the Canon PowerShot S50). The F300 offers full manual controls, sharp, well-exposed images, an above...
