 Truly compact and handy.Jun 21, 2005
By D. Leung
I've had this baby for a few days and have not fully tested it out yet but so far, its beautiful. It's tiny and, above all, really easy to use. Unlike my previous 5 MP digicam, the Sony DP-10, which had a gaggle of complicated features and was had a learning curve to take good pictures, the X60's operations are intuitive. The manual is available and really easy to understand too if you need to read it.
Pros:
Small, compact, truly a purse camera if you wanted. Others that claim to be small aren't really but this one is!
Fast start up. Just slide the cover and it's on.
Easy to operate
Good picture quality
Nice big LCD screen
Covered lens
Internal 15MB memory
Cons.
No viewfinder (Not like I use that anyway)
Zoom is only standard.
I've heard that the LCD in previous models in this line are fragile. I've had no problems so far but you're not supposed to drop a digicam anyway.
My first digicam was a minolta 3.2 MP which I lose in Kyoto and I'm glad I went back to a brand I like.

Compared to the X50 it's smaller, sleeker, better, & cheaper!Sep 28, 2005
By Navid
I had the Konica Minolta X50 (see my review on it), which ended up being defective after about 9 months of normal, delicate use. The battery cover wouldn't stay shut anymore, so back to Costco it went.
After researching the "ultra-compact" cameras in the 5.0mp and above class, I found that the minor improvements of the x60, coupled with the larger LCD display and lower price made it the most appealing digital "ultra" compact in the entire category. I mean I put it up against Sony's DSC T-1/T-7/and T-3, Kodak's new EasyShare V-50, Casio's Exilim Z750 and EX-S500, Fuji's FinePix Z1, Olympus, and Pentax Optio.
It came out the winner. I'll give it 1 year of use and revisit my review to give another update.
In the meantime, if compact is what you're looking for, this camera will meet those objectives plus take excellent snap shots in well lit close range situations.
The only thing that remains to be a weak point, is the poor flash range and the poor resolution of pictures in low-light situations. If you're taking night photos, you need to be within the 6 feet and in an area where you're picking up some light, otherwise your subject shot will come out blurry, out of focus, or over exposed.

 Great little cameraSep 12, 2005
By Hern S. Chen
After purchased two little Canon SD200 cameras for my daughters, I decided to upgrade my own bulky first generation HP camera (2M, no optical zoom).
I wanted a 4M/5M ultra compact camera and had my eye set on newer Canon SD camera. However, I don't want to pay too much for the camera so I ended up looking for non Canon SD cameras.
One of the consideration I have is that I don't want a camera with proprietary memory (so Sony is out) or semi-proprietary memory (I considered xD a proprietary after reading that the panorama mode for some Olympus camera only works with Olympus's own xD card).
Finally, I settled on Minolta X60 after some research. I am quite happy with the camera - it is very small, the 2.5" LCD is quite big (no viewfinder though), the control is quite logical, and the picture quality is pretty good. The battery life of about 150 pictures is not quite enough for a long trip but you can pick up non-OEM batteries for a few dollars.
The 15MB internal memory is not accessible when an external memory card is plug in. However, it may come handy when you forget your SD card.

The best camera for size and cost.Oct 26, 2005
By David Impson
"D. Impson"
I only paid $230 from Amazon directly and know that it was the best deal ever. I love it. The zoom quality is great, large screen, fast start-up time, immediate shutter release, and time between photos is awesome. I like this camera better then the new $600 Kodak. This camera looks great and perfomrs great also.

Nice looking camera and not bad picturesOct 13, 2005
By J. Kowalsky
I had the Minolta Xg and the Minolta g400 before this camera. The x60 has a great design. Very easy to use and stylish. I really like the internal optical zoom. The size, weight, battery life, and scene modes are all pluses.
Cons: low light comes out eithe over exposed with the flash, or blurry. Hard to get good shots indoors. Screen quality is average and does not show the pictures very well.
Overall: great, stylish, compact camera with some limitations
