Try another brand and stay away from the Minolta digital line. This comes from a guy that has a bag full of Minolta 35mm gear. Too bad, but I will never try their digital line again.


Too hard to use this camera and software!   January 27, 2001

Run, don't walk away from Minolta digital cameras. I own the 2300 and it is horrible. The software does not work well and the camera is way too hard to operate for a simple snapshot camera. There is simply no excuse for such a poor job.

To top it off, the photo quality is very poor for a 2 million pixel camera. This thing is Junk!

Feel free to email me if you have a question. Bryan_Weber@madscape.com

This is a great camera. Very easy to use and takes superb pictures. However, if you plan on taking 40-50 pictures, be sure to have an extra set of fully-charged batteries.(included in the purchase with a recharger). I highly recommend this camera.


Minolta Poor Quality   January 2, 2001

I 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.


Decent camera   December 22, 2000

I've tried a lot of cameras and went with this one because of it's good price. And, it works just fine.

What's good: Easy to use, Very Good quality photos, Lots of flash options

What's not so good: The auto flash metering doesn't seem to work right all the time: a lot of shots come out too dark,

The software isn't as good as other camera's that I've seen. There is no way to manage the photos through the software, which is a bit of a pain if you use it a lot.

Even so, I recommend it.
