I've been looking at purchasing an ultra compact camera and found myself looking at the Dimage X because of its 3X optical zoom. Then I heard its image quality was subpar and the viewfinder only showed the center 1/4th of the picture being taken. Furthermore, I heard some options were difficult to navigate (like deleting photos, for example)
Now, since the Dimage Xi is essentially un upgraded model of the X, I was wondering how many of these problems had been fixed. I guess I'm also asking the people that own the X or the Xi how happy they are with their cams. Thanks! |

Hi,
I have the Dimage X and its fine for what I want it for. I carry it around with me all the time so I can take photos of my kids whenever I want to. The optical view finder does not show the full image but I just generally cut it close because I know the picture will be wider than what I see. Outdoor image quality is great. Indoor tends to be too red and sometimes a little unperdictable. Once you get used to navigating through the menus its not a problem. I guess you are trading off some things for the compact size. And it really is compact. But if your having doubts, why not a F100? Its not much more and its still pretty compact and gets great reviews. |

Thanks for the help
![]() I checked out the F100 at a local store and it looks like it may be too big for what I want it for (ie a take anywhere, anytime camera) I'm still looking at the Dimage X and the Sond DSC-U10, though I've been kicking around the idea of just going a bit bigger, in which case your advice on the F100 will come in handy. |

[quote="Ekin"]Thanks for the help
![]() I checked out the F100 at a local store and it looks like it may be too big for what I want it for If you still are looking for a small camera, I can tell you that Xi is exactly for you. I have it for one week and I love Her. In fact, indoor photos seem to be too red sometime, but I don`t care, outside ones are great, especially during sunshine. As I can see Xi is much more improved then X, so don`t worry about your doubts. And that size, wow... |

Dear Photoaddict, since you are having the Dimage X, may I ask u a few questions. Since the Xi is more than 100 dollars extra, I plan to go for X. When, where and for what price u bought it. I am told that it is available for $250 now. Is it OK. The video clips recorded on this camera - can it be seen on full screen on TV? How is the clarity. Sorry for asking too many questions.
