優點:
- Pretty good apperance ! Small and light coampare with Canon S45 ! (At the moments I bought)
- Lots of manual functions in such a small DC !
- Use AA batteries ! Although batteries consumption is high, but you can bring more batteries for spare use and the rechargable batteries are cheap !
- Good photo quality !
缺點:
- Slow Motion DC ! Slow zoom, slow start up, shutter slag, long shot to shot period when using flash !
- QC is really really really really bad ! When I first bought it, I exchange it twice and when I thought that the third one is OK, the problem arise after using one month ! It can't focus ! Many many people have the same experience with me if they bought the F100 at Oct-Dec 2002 !
- Always have to get into menu for setting ! Takes too much time and not user-friendly as Canon Or Nikon !
- Images are pretty soft and not sharp ! Compare to Canon's photo, you can see the differences !
- ALways hangs when the batteries are exhausted !
- Movies are too short ! Only 35s and the saving time is too too slow !
- Even updated the firmware, when exchange batteries, still need to reset the date !
Overall comments: In such small DC, Minolta F100 perform pretty good in most area except for the response and the QC problem ! As the price for F200 and F300 drops, I still recommend people consider the Minolta F-series especially F200 !
