Title: Locked-up
Product review: As I took this out of the box and powered it up I immediately saw that it suffered from faulty programming. It was locked into the viewfinder mode and would not allow me to see anything through the LCD. Konica Minolta was of no help and simply said I should send it to them for repair - about a four week process for something that I had never used. Intuition told me that there should be some way to reboot the thing - but it was not to be. I bought this despite similar complaints that I had read on the web (one correspondent told of a vacation to Mexico being ruined by the inability to take pictures when this camera locked up). Well, they were right and I was wrong, so I returned it to Amazon.com without any problems and bought a Panasonic LZ2 which seems to be a good compromise between enhanced zoom and size. I will be taking that to Europe soon along with my old Fuji 2 megapixel as backup.
