Title: Took nice pictures....but it died
Product review: I received this camera as a gift for Christmas 2004. The pictures I got from it were great with beautiful colors, and everything was fine until November 2005. The focus slowed WAY down, and it took me several attempts to take every picture. The zoom didn't work consistently, and the camera would refuse to take a picture for no discernable reason. Finally, just after the warranty expired (of course), it stopped working altogether. Wouldn't turn on or respond in any way to new film or batteries.When I called Konica Minolta, they told that I could not return or exchange, they would only repair. It would cost $99 for the repair, plus $12 to ship it back to me, plus whatever it cost me to ship it to them in the first place (from HI to CT). For ~$120, I'm just going to get another, newer camera.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
