Specs / RatingsLikes
- Easy to use menus
- Logical layout maximizes limited surface area on camera
- Elaborate and well written manual
- Expansive software package
- Poor color reproduction
- Slow start-up and shooting speed
- Autofocus isn’t responsive at times
- Short battery life
- Screen washes out easily in bright light
- Long flash recharge time
Conclusion
The Konica Minolta DiMAGE X60 is a decent camera - if it’s found at the right price, and if all you want out of it is its ability to take snapshots. It has a rugged stylish frame, very easy to use functions, and has the perfect button layout and ergonomics to facilitate one-handed use. Unfortunately, the camera also has poor battery life and below average performance in color accuracy and noise. Its slow start-up and shot to shot speed may hinder shooting situations with lots of activity. The screen is prone to washing out and its low pixel count doesn’t help either. The camera however is perfectly sized for unburdened pocket portability. Novices looking for a simple on-the-go point-and-shoot that is easy to handle and has a great feel have found their match. Unfortunately, those more intent on performance and features will have to keep up their search.
