What You Should Know about the DiMAGE G500 Digital Camera (MINOLTA-QMS-2731131)

Average Resolution Allows You to Make Small and Medium Prints

This point-and-shoot model has an average megapixel count for its class. You can print images from an 8- to 10-megapixel camera at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches with no loss in quality; at 13 by 19 inches, however, prints will lose a slight amount of detail. As the pixel count on an image sensor increases, so does its tendency to produce images plagued by noise--ugly speckling patterns. To avoid noise, look for a camera with the lowest pixel count that still serves your output needs.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: size, style, two mem slots, fast start up.

Weaknesses: low battert life, no zoom in movie mode, small LCD screen

Overall Evaluation: Love the camera but I wish it had a bigger battery. I did not get much time out of it when using the flash. However I got an extra battery for $10 so all should be well. Menu is a little cumbersome at first but gets easier.Overall im very happy with the cameraOh, I noticed the "triangle in the view finder" also as stated.. what causes it is that you are "seeing" the telescopic lense. If you open the front with the camera off (no lens extension) you do not see the dreaded "triangle" :)
