What's the difference between Minolta Dimage XT and XG other than price?

[Xenon14]

The XG is newer, more expensive, and has slight different physical features..very slight. But the dimensions and specs are the same. Is there a feature i'm not aware of? better night shooting? better quality lens?

scroll down in the box,

continuous shooting
Xg: 1.5 fps
Xt: 2.5 fps

LCD pixel count (not ccd, the viewing LCD)
Xg: 85k
Xt: 110k

all in all, looks like the Xg is cheap.

what do you mean xg is cheap, like the xt is better than the xg?
i figured that the xg would be better since it's newer...
cuz i see both on sale right now... and it's awfully tempting to buy one of 'em~

btw, someone told me taht this lcd scratch easily...
is this person full of it and it's just like any other lcd ?
thanks

Minolta Dimage Xg review

The newer Xg has a 0.1" larger LCD, longer battery life apparently, faster startup(0.8s vs 1.2s), but has no video out(meaning no webcam capabilities), a limited 180min max video recording, as opposed to unlimited for the Xt(limited only by size of memory card), and no Super Fine(TIFF) mode.

It's a hard choice...I'm also torn between these 2 models.

Here is another one for you to think about. I'm thinking about it myself...
The Pentax Optio S4i

4.2 oz with battery
4 mpixels
1.8" lcd
unlimited 320x240 30fps video
3x optical zoom
7 point af

Only thing it doesn't have is a focus assist lamp but apparently the S4 did pretty good without it.
I'm impatiently waiting for dpreview or Steves Digicams to review this beauty.

Myself and a friend of mine opted for the Minolta Dimage XT. I also got a 256mb sd card for it. The camera is great - battery life not really a problem since it's rechargeable.
