The camera scratches the film 
2004-02-21
I have taken 5 rolls of film (different brands) with this camera and had them developed at 2 different labs. Every single roll has stratches on the backside of the film across the whole length of film. The scratches are in the same place. I will have to send the camera in to be serviced under warranty. Other than that annoyance, the pictures are actually quite good, and if you can get a 130c without this same flaw, I would recommend the camera.

I have this MINOLTA I got it right before MINOLTA was bought out buy SONY in spring of 05.I love it because it takes just as good of pictures as my moms almost $600 CANON DSLR. And I bought the RC-3 wireless remote, case and, tripod for it online.I totally love taking pictures with it. This model is really sturdy but, if it does break there is 1 or 2 year warranty.It is real easy to use you just point and shoot and its features are real nice like the date,multi autofocus,red eye reducer,and different settings are a brezze to work.

Took nice pictures....but it died 
2006-04-06
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 2004. 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.
I strongly recommend you don't purchase

We have had to exchange this camera twice within the first month of having it, first it stopped taking pictures you had to shut it off zoom in and out then it would take it, the second camera did the same also it stopped taking the film, we tried several brands and it would just expose it all. very disapoointing. we contacted minolta they would only fix it not return or exchange it. we bought the canon sure shot 115 and love it so far!
