Guide Review - Minolta DiMAGE F100 Digital Camera

I’m amazed at the quality and control that can be had with such a small camera. This camera offers full manual control, which allows you total creative freedom. It’s unfortunate that there is no RAW file, for better editing control, but I still like this camera a lot.

The Minolta GT lenses on this camera are some of the best digital camera lenses made, and they are the same lenses that are found on their high end professional digital camera DiMAGE 7Hi.

The compact size makes this camera is easier to travel with than that of some of their professional cameras. Also, the camera body is designed to conform to your hand, which is not only comfortable but also helps to stabilize the camera.
