Konica Minolta Dimage X31 review

Konica Minolta Dimage X31 Slim and stylish, Konica Minolta's Dimage X31 adds some panache to the 3.2-megapixel point-and-shoot category. In addition to basic snapshot features and an internal zoom lens, this camera offers some fun features for creative...

Stylish design; quick start-up; nice selection of creative effects for snapshots.

Below-average autofocus performance; no optical viewfinder; no dedicated macro mode.

If you want to look good while taking snapshots, the slender Dimage X31 delivers style and portability as well as some fun, creative options at a low price.

Konica Minolta DiMage X31

A solid if unspectacular ultracompact point-and-shoot with minimal frills, the Konica Minolta DiMage X31 is a good value for the surprisingly little money it costs.

Compact and extremely economical. Lens does not protrude from camera body, even while zooming.

Mediocre resolution. Some exposure and noise problems in images. Small LCD. Tiny buttons. Subpar boot and recycle times. Limited manual controls. No cover for SD card slot.

The no-frills Konica Minolta DiMage X31 is a solid ultracompact point-and-shoot camera. And, at $200 (street), it's a good value.

Digital Cameras - Konica Minolta DiMAGE X31 Digital Camera Review, Information, Specifications

I've been a fan of Minolta's "X" line of subcompact cameras since the original version was first introduced. The DiMAGE X31, while sacrificing a few features and some low light capability to keep the cost down, offers a capable, subcompact digicam at a...

The front of the camera holds the lens window, flash, self-portrait mirror, and self-timer lamp. A shutter-like, retractable lens cover protects the lens window whenever the camera is powered off, sliding quickly out of the way when the camera is...
