Help me decide which digital camera: Casio EX-Z3 or Minolta Dimage XT

[sunilJM]

well can someone with some digital camera picture experience please see the following compared pictures and let me know which seems
superior as a point and shoot camera. each picture was taken at steves-digicams at 2046x1536 , so please only look if you have highspeed
internet.


again these are between the Casio Exilim EX-Z3 and the Minolta Dimage Xt both priced $399 (before any discounts).

If you are judging by picture quality alone get the minolta, but I would get a canon over both of them

im trying to convince a friend of mine over the minolta Xt, but she just loves the size.

im trying to get her to get a canon S400 or atleast the S230....but she thinks they are too big still.

if your friend wants a small camera tell her to check out the Pentax Optio S

excellent suggestions all of you.

it is a fact that the canon s230 is superior to both the casio ex-z3 and dimage xt in picture quality, but is a little too heavy to put in my shirt pocket.

fwiw, i have had an s200, so i assume the s230 has the same build.

anyone with the casio have thoughts?
