I just purchased this camera. I was having a hard time with the battery info, but you cleared it up perfectly. Also you cleared up some of the features as well. I will subscribe you helped a lot.
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but this camera is definitely not 44 megapixels. My guess is probably 10-12 if you are lucky. Even then, the quality looks really poor. I'm not sure why you would buy this when our phones these days are so superior. That "2k" looks like it's running at 15 frames per second. 😳
I tested both images and video to see if resolutions were as claimed and it was both 44MP resolution and 2k video output. Agreed that particularly on the video side, the quality was not great, hence the sample footage shown. The lens type this camera uses is the limiting factor performance wise for sure.
@Prickly Pear Camera oh I have no doubt the output file is "44 megapixels" and "2k" but they are much lower resolutions that are interpolated to seem like much higher resolutions. It's a trick often used by super cheap Chinese camera companies.(the Minolta name was purchased by such a company)
@@pricklypearcamera And actually, most of these cameras use the same "camera on a chip" components. Very tiny sensor and often around 5 megapixels true resolution.
Yeah, specs and performance look very similar to cheap Chinese cameras that sell for about half the price. Likely with a tiny 1/3" cellphone sensor, which could be a quad bayer at 48-50 cropped to 44, but really just outputting natively at 12MP and then scaling back to 44 instead of outputting raw to avoid color casts.
Thanks for saving me an eBay search.
Thank you so much for your video it has been very helpful for me
Of course-thanks for watching!
Good morning, I would like to know if the Minolta MND20 44 MP camera has the option to set the date and time on all the photos, thank you
Hi! Thanks for the video. I’m deciding to get this camera for travel since it’s very compact. I still have a dSLR for other things. That said, do you have a sample image taken from this camera? If it’s up to par with at least an iPhone 8 then I’m quite sold!
Hi, Here's a couple pictures that I took with the Minolta. Indoors, the Iphone 8 is probably going to take better pics, but outdoors, it does a decent job, although color saturation is a bit muted.

nothing wrong with a fixed lens compact camera to bring along with you all the time, but looking at the image quality of it I definitely prefer my Nikon Coolpix A 😊
Nice! the Coolpix A takes great pictures, similar to the Nikon L28 that I use
Anyone knows where to buy the nikon coolpix A and is it shipped to other countries,I have been trying to get the nikon but it seems not be available anywhere...
Dose it has time & date stamp?
Thx
does the camera come with an SD card in the box or did you have to purchase separately?
Hi, yes it came with a 32GB SD card in the box.
Do you mind putting the link where you got your Minolta
Sure, here's a link: www.amazon.com/Minolta-MND20-Digital-Camera-Silver/dp/B0BP5QYN32
With the AMAZING untouchable quality of Smart phones, ESPECIALLY the iPhone 15 Pro, Why would anyone waste a second with a downgraded quality brick you have to carry as a second item? Unless you're still a lover of Flip Phones, these devices are obsolete.
while it’s true modern ~$1k iPhones can produce some amazing shots (I have one and can attest to its capabilities) not every occasion or every person is going for that buttery smooth Ai enhanced photo look. to each their own but the novelty of having a very basic point and shoot is very appealing to me (maybe not this particular camera but I hope you get my point 😅).
Many famous professional photographers and photojournalists still use these pocketable disposable cameras to stunning effects because they understand their eye is more important than their tech. Furthermore, film grain and poor optical abnormalities aren’t the same as filters aka after effects. To each their own!
A Minolta Z1 of 2003 gives you way more better picture quality. Well, another Chinesium scam using a great brand of the past. Thanks for this video! Great!
Looked like a good video only I wish there was a way to filter off the annoying music. Finally I had to tap out and not finish the video. What I liked was the shot that the Nikon took next to the shot the Minolta took. I would never buy this camera.
I bought this camera a few days ago, and so far every picture I've taken has been out of focus. Does this camera have an autofocus? If yes, how do I turn it on?
Yes, out of the box it should be set to auto mode, which would enable autofocus. If it's not focusing properly (with good light), sounds like it may have a problem?
How many fps is this for video recording?
Hi, according to Minolta's site, they say HD recording is 15FPS,

The video quality of this is camera is admittedly not great.
@@pricklypearcamera oh…..dang it
@@pricklypearcamera thanks!
Would you say this takes better pics and videos than a $200-300 smartphone?
Probably not honestly…
No optical zoom... No autofocus...😂😂
2688 x 1520 is 4.09 mp. Let it do the 12 mp I guess, but no more.
You get what you pay for. Maybe give this to a little kid who you don't want to have a cell phone.
i hate fujifilm xp no longer being made. second hand market can be hairy and as example above shows, many dodgy alternatives- 44mp? but shows 12mp default- shanadingans! but timelapse mode is a great featrure- my xp60 had that and realy gutted when i lost it and replaced it with a model from usa i didn't have it- all because of a different software tweak.
I had to look up a video of this camera since I saw one go on clearance for pretty cheap. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but this isn't the Minolta that you remember. This is some fly by night Chinese company licensing a respected name and tarnishing it.
Can we record videos on this?
Yep, does record video.
@@pricklypearcamera please how do you record a video?
Who makes this camera? Didn't Sony by the Minolta Factory?
They did buy it a long time ago, but as of 2017, according to my research, Minolta was purchased by a conglomerate "ELITE BRANDS" that also produces Rokinon lenses.
@@pricklypearcamera Interesting, does that mean it's South Korean? Although then again, maybe Elite Brands is one of the US-based importers / distributors for Samyang / Rokinon / Bower's Korean-made products, rather than being a Korean company themselves. I do love vintage Minolta cameras, it would be nice to see the name attached to some more serious photography products again.
@@Lets-Take-Pictures Ah good call, they may be the importers/distributors. I wasn't able to find too much more info that elaborated on Minolta, and agreed on the brand, it's storied and has a legacy!
@@pricklypearcamera There are a slew of cheap "Elite Brands" identical point and shoot cameras and camcorders sold by Amazon, QVC and HSN. Don't expect quality for under $100, OK for casual still and video clips. Quality starts at around $200, shop wisely and read fine print, compare features.
Doesn’t Sony now own Minolta?
where is optical zoom???? this is another proof that for some reason tech companiaes are heavily REGRESSED and technically DOWNGRADED consumer cameras, camcorders, action cams, mobile phone cameras and similar devices standards.. look at new akaso v50x (heavy crap), new sjcam action cam (also crap), canon and panasonic are stuck with their sx740 and TZ-95 almost 6-7 years old, NO NEW MODELS at all! the best 4k camcorders are from 2015-2016, no new models since then! something is going seriously wrong.
The reason why there are no new models when it comes to those cameras is because there is very low demand for them. Canon, panasonic and other camera companies are putting all their effort (and money) into mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras.
And those keep getting better and better.
@@chrisdwyer1477 yes, you're right but these mirorless and high end cameras are only for professionals and are very expensive. for average user there is practically no new models and the existing ones have a lot of flaws or obsolete features and out of stock. i love to see improved new panasonic fz-90, fz-400, canon sx750 hs, sx80 hs, nikon b800 as examples, also an upgraded panasonic hc-v 180 camcorder, with same small body, stabilization and zoom (90x i) but with 4k quality because now it is technically factible and inexpensive.
Yes, would love to see some advancements in point and shoot and camcorders as well! I agree, things in that realm have gotten stagnant by Canon/Nikon/Sony.
@Danbilotto there are affordable mirrorless cameras out there. I purchased a Canon m200 for under $500 US and the results are much better than a point and shoot small sensor camera. Also, there are definitely lots of user friendly mirrorless cameras you don't have to be a professional to use. I own many!
Wow that thing is a piece of garbage
😂
