The first thing you notice about the Minolta Xt
is how small and thin it is. Yet, Minolta engineers
have suceeded in equipping it with 3.2 megapixels
resolution and a 3x optical zoom in a body only
0.8 in. (or 20mm) thick (or, should we say, thin)!
A clever arrangement with the lens positioned
vertically within the camera means that the lens
movement occurs inside the camera, hence no protruding
optics!
The
Minolta DiMAGE Xt has an optical viewfinder and
a 1.5 in. anti-reflection LCD. Without anti-reflection
coating, the LCD would be practically useless
in bright sunlight, so it is good to see Minolta
equip the compact DiMAGE Xt with this type of
LCD.
Minolta
has positioned the DiMAGE Xt as strictly a point-and-shoot
digital camera: the DiMAGE Xt has only Programmed
AE exposure control. With its 3.2 megapixels resolution,
you can make prints up to 8x10 in. An E-Mail copy
function allows you to save a copy of your favorite
picture small enough to email to friends and family.
If you're looking for a stylish, ultra thin, pocketable
point-and-shoot digital camera which can take
high resolution pictures, be sure to check out
the Minolta DiMAGE Xt.
