layout/design of buttons is easy and simple. I love the fact that opening
the lens turns the camera on and off. I purchased an extra battery and
keep it in the charger. The charger comes with the camera and charges
fast.
It is a great point and shoot and has many features if you want to do
more. It is small and fits in my evening bag but is not so small/delicate
that I worry about damage.
It has an optical viewer as well as an lcd screen. I thought this was
critical. If you need to take a picture in bright sun or want to conserve
battery life use the viewer. One of the things I did not like about my old
point and shoot was it only had an lcd screen. I was very careful with it
and damaged the screen while on vacation and could not use the camera. I
had to buy some disposeables and send it for repairs when I got home.
Konica makes a great product. It may not be as sexy looking as some but it
is great and I have yet to take a bad photo. Two media cards is terrific.
I was at a good friends wedding and went to visit family and with both
cards in the camera I had enough space to take pictures for the week. I
took 800 pictures a couple of movies and still had plenty of space. I put
in two 512MB cards and did not have to worry about carrying extra cards.
I love this camera! Hope this helps you in your search, happy hunting!

Lousy Camera, April 17, 2006
Reviewer: Jon C. Lundell "Jon C Lundell"
I have had this camera about 6 months and have had to return it twice so
far for the same repair, without any explanation or recourse of requesting
a replacement. I use the camera for my work so two to three weeks per
repair is pretty disruptive to my schedule. Quick shots are out of the
question since the camera is ultra sensitive to any tremor, and I must
always use a tripod.

Excellent camera, a bit complicated to use for anything but take
pictures, July 12, 2005
Reviewer: Hector-C "Hector"
Good points:
1. The price is magnificent...you can get it for about $244.00 for
6Megapixels!(as of Jul-11-2005);
2. The quality of the pictures is excellent;
3. Battery Life is fairly good (about 280 flash pictures);
4. Takes BOTH SD and MemoryStick memory types;
5. Optical Zoom at 3X is about normal and works fine;
6. On-Off system is nice and simple;
7. FAST shutter speed (time from moment you press button to picture
actually being taken); Canon is awful at this.
8. Very FAST Flash recovery time (picture-to-picture): about 1.5 seconds.
The problems are few, but very real:
1. Video is really limited to 30seconds - no matter how much memory you
have or what resolution you choose;
2. Doing anything other than taking pictures is a MESS...you have to go
through the menus and the complicated button sequences...forget about my
MOM using it for anything other than taking pictures;
3. Even VIEWING the pictures you took is a mess...having to go through the
menus. If you're a gadget freak or a techie, you'll be just fine...but if
it's for your mom or dad and they can't program their VCR, then look for a
user-friendly camera (not this one, sorry!); they WILL end up erasing
pictures they're trying to see...
4. The USB transfer cable is NOT standard...good luck if you travel and
leave it at home (better have lots of memory and not lose the camera while
traveling or you'll lose your memories before you get to transfer them!!);
5. Zoom controls could be better located.
Summary:
If you are a techie and don't need videos longer than 30seconds, this
camera is great.

Awesome pocket size camera!, January 18, 2005
Reviewer: Aimee "Aimee"
I just got the Minolta G600 and love how easy it is to use. I take pix
mostly on vacation and wanted something sturdy yet small enough to carry
with me. Menu options are very easy to use - start up is quick, and the
pix have turned out great. Not alot of confusing buttons/wheels to learn -
very easy. You will love it.

Better than the Z1 for quick pics, January 1, 2005
Reviewer: Aimee Sosa "killjoy14"
I got this G600 for Christmas this year and I am so happy with it. It fits
in my purse and takes excellent pictures. If you need something you can
carry around, is easy to use and takes great pictures, get this.
