Amazon.com Product Description
The 2.3-megapixel CCD of the Minolta Dimage 2300 captures images at a maximum resolution of 1,792 x 1,200, letting you create photo-quality prints at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. For e-mail and Internet use, it can also capture at a resolution of 800 x 600. If you're considering making the switch from film to digital photography, The Dimage 2300's similarity to film-based point-and-shoot cameras will help ease the transition.The camera lacks an optical zoom, but does include a digital zoom, which brings subjects closer at the expense of image quality. Other features include a multimode flash, a self-timer, a video- out feature, and a USB connection for quick file transfers. Included with the Dimage 2300 are batteries, a camera bag, 8 MB CompactFlash card, video and USB cables, and software.

 The Best Camera! I even got one for my mom! April 2, 2002

This is a terrific digital camera. It's very easy to use and handle (not big and clunky) The pictures are great! The camera is an overall value, I would recommed to anyone as a starter camera.
Great camera if you take the time to learn to use it! February 22, 2002
J. D. Moore
Look, if you don't know anything about electronics, photography, cameras in general, or computers, then NOTHING you get will be "simple to use." But, if you take the time to read the manual once or twice to try to use the instrument correctly, then you can find value in uncommon places. For instance, the Dimage 2300, a mere 2.3 megapixel camera, which takes great photos for the resolution and the money (I've seen worse, less reliable quality from the FinePix at much higher resolutions, and at nearly 3x the price). Read the manual, learn about white-balance - which can be manipulated to take STUNNING photos if you know what you're doing - learn about the variety of exposure settings, understand the machine, and you will have great photos. As for some of the issues raised in these reviews: 1) install the software with a careful attention to the instructions, reboot, connect the cable to the computer and camera, turn the camera on to PC mode, launch the software. If you wait too long doing something else, it will auto-power-off -- close the software, turn the camera back on, and try again. Simplicity. 2) DON'T USE THE LCD ALL THE TIME AND THE BATTERY LIFE WILL BE FINE. And remember to drain the included NiMH rechargeable batteries COMPLETELY, or they won't hold a complete charge the next time around and battery life will plummet. Drain them completely every time and you'll be fine. 3) Any camera will take dark pictures if you don't know what your doing. Learn about exposure, and what the Dimage does to regulate it. Does the machines need to do all of our thinking for us? If you learn about situations that create dark or over-bright photos, then you'll recognize them before they ruin your shots and you can compensate. You be intelligent: don't rely on the camera to be intelligent for you. 4) Buy a bigger memory card: even at the standard resolution the 2300 takes good quality photos, and you can take about 35 of them on the included 8 MB card; but a bigger one gives you more options for more photos - better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Practice common sense, try to learn the instrument and learn what to expect from it, and will be VERY pleased with yourself and with it. The Dimage 2300 is a great value and capable of great amateur quality photos that some of the big-boy high-end cameras envy.
Decent Camera February 1, 2002

I've read a lot of reviews about this particular product and ive read that many people have problems transfering pictures into their computer. Although i found that aspect to be quite simple the real weakness of this camera is the flash. This camera is virtually useless at night. Unless the place is well lit at night you can forget about taking pictures. During the day it takes pictures pretty well. The macto feature of this camera is also pretty good.
Never had a problem October 23, 2001

I enjoy this camera. And mine works with Windows Millenium just fine. I got the 64MB memory card and I have NEVER filled it up, let alone found out how many it holds. I always have 99+ displayed. It takes very nice pictures, and has nice features. The only negative is that it only zooms to 1.4 x and 2.0x and the quality then gets poor. But everything else is great.
 Minolta Dimage has compatablity problems! July 1, 2001

The Minolta Dimage 2300 is not compatable with Windows 2000 Millenium Edition. If you purchase a new computer or update your Windows 98 you cannot upgrade the camera software. It just isnt available!
