Customer Review: Konica Minolta should be ashamed
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this camera for about a year... well actually I've only had it for 2 months if you subtract the time they have had it for all the repairs. They have to be the worst customer support I've ever dealt with. You have to work around their schedule and deal with a general attitude problem with all their support center workers. They apparently haven't cought on to this whole idea of customer service being pretty important. Especially if you are going to make a camera that is so fragile. The insides of this camera must be paper thin or something because you have to handle it with extreme care or something breaks. (even though they claim it's durable with the metal case and all) I was happy with the camera when it worked... it's very fast and easy to use, not to mention it takes good pictures. That said, there are plenty of companies making cameras that do all that and are much more durable and worst case if it does break, they have great 24/7 (konica does not!) customer support to resolve your problem fast. Konica had my camera for 3 months on the first repair, and they ended up just sending my broken camera back with a new one in the box... which then broke 3 days later. UNREAL! and it cost be $140 for this repair? I think anyone can see this company is not one you want to deal with. Go find another brand that meets your needs. This company doesn't deserve your business!!!
Description of Minolta Dimage G400 4.0 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical
With an amazingly fast start-up time of just 0.7 seconds, the Minolta Dimage G400 is ready when you are to capture life's most precious memories. The compact and stylish G400 also features an all-metal case, a 4.2-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom lens, movie mode with audio, and compatibility with both SD memory cards and Memory Sticks. Optics and Resolution
With the Dimage G400's 4 megapixel resolution, you can capture 2272 x 1704 pixel images for photo-quality 11 x 17-inch enlargements. It also offers 1600 x 1200 (2 MP) and 640 x 480 (VGA) resolution modes.
The 3X optical GT Hexanon zoom lens is comprised of seven elements in six groups to provide sharp, high-contrast images. With a focal range of 5.6-16.8mm, the lens is equivalent to a 34-101mm zoom on a 35mm camera and it covers everything from scenic landscapes to interiors and group shots to portraits and detailed close-ups. It also has a 2x digital zoom.
More Features
The Dimage G400 has a newly designed signal-processing engine with a 0.7 second startup time. You can turn the camera on, focus, set the exposure, capture an image, and turn the camera off in 1.5 seconds. The camera can also focus and determine the exposure in approximately 0.2 second, and the shutter-release time lag is approximately 0.03 second. The Dimage G400 employs Rapid AF to ensure sharp images with minimum delay. Rapid AF uses a passive AF sensor to instantly estimate the distance to the subject and the camera's CCD to determine the precise focus point.
The e-mail copy function creates a 640 x 480 or 160 x 120 JPEG copy of an image on the memory card so that it can be easily transferred over the Internet.
The Dimage G400's versatile flash modes let you shoot in a variety of lighting situations with confidence. In automatic mode, the flash fires whenever it's needed. If the main subject is backlit, you can select fill-flash for additional subject illumination.
Other features include:
- 1.5-inch LCD with optical real-image viewfinder
- Continuous mode of 2.5 frames per second for up to 3 frames
- Six scene modes: Portrait, Scenery, Night, Snapshot, Sports, and Angel
- White balance controls: Automatic, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, and Fluorescent
- Color modes: Standard, Cold, Warm, Black and White, Sepia
The Dimage G400 features a dual card slot system for expanded image storage; Memory Sticks and Secure Digital (SD) memory cards can be used alone or in combination. A 16 MB SD card is included with the Dimage G400, and it can store approximately 16 images shot in Normal, 4-megapixel mode. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.
