I’m so impressed with this camera—it delivers way more than I expected in such a small package. The 56MP photos come out crisp, detailed, and vibrant, and the 5K video looks smooth and cinematic, perfect for both family moments and travel footage.
The 5x optical zoom is super handy for getting close shots without losing quality, and I really like having both the front lens and selfie lens built in. The touchscreen is responsive and makes changing settings or reviewing shots quick and easy, even outdoors.
I also love that it comes with a rechargeable battery and a 32GB memory card, so I was able to start using it right out of the box. Lightweight, easy to carry, and packed with features—this camera is a great choice for anyone who wants pro-level results without carrying heavy gear.

I bought this camera for my 10 year old and she absolutly loves it! It's easy to operate and the pictures have great resolution. We have been using it for a while now. It's very reliable, the screen is bigger than an older camera we had and the battery lasts for a long time (we only had to charge it once so far, when we got it)

Nice compact camera. Easy to use. Zoom gives me options and I love that the screen is touch screen so I can use the buttons or the screen. Pictures are high quality and the battery life is great.

Extremely serviceable point and shoot

I think it’s important to recognize how good smartphone cameras are, but that they’re attached to $1,000 devices. With that said, this camera is good. It’s not DSLR good, but it’s good for a $200 point and shoot.
Pros: image quality, especially at reasonable distance. I don’t know about the 5k’s and the 56mp’s, but when we throw a picture or video on our 75” tv, it looks great.
Style. It looks amazing.
Simple to operate. Good battery life, reasonably shock resistant as my kid immediately dropped it.
Selfie camera is fun, a hit with the kids.
Cons: the flash is not the best. It’s LED based and is similar to a smartphone flash, that is to say, not that powerful. Irrelevant at daytime.
Minolta is owned by Elite Brands, so this is a camera made by Elite Brands with the Minolta name on it.

The Minolta MNB5Z is a pocket-sized production studio with jaw-dropping 56MP resolution and crisp 5K Ultra HD video, every shot feels like a frame from a feature film. It's great for capturing sweeping landscapes or tight close-ups, the 5x optical zoom lens delivers stunning clarity without distortion.
The 2.8" IPS touchscreen is intuitive and responsive, making it easy to switch between creative modes like time-lapse, slow motion, and photo burst. Built-in color filters add instant drama, and the digital image stabilization keeps footage smooth even when handheld.
The rear selfie lens and focus assist lamp are perfect for vlogging or spontaneous portraits.
It doubles as a PC webcam, supports livestreaming, and includes a built-in mic and speaker for on-the-go content creation. This camera is legendary. Calling all travelers and content. The Minolta - MNB5Z nailed it. Highly recommended.

I was blown away by the quality of this camera. For a camera at this price point you're getting a lot of power packed into a compact and stylish body. The images are sharp and rich in detail. It performed beautifully while shooting landscapes as well as close ups. Auto focus and zoom are impressive.
I was also impressed with the video quality. Its great for anyone that wants a step up from smartphone video without breaking the bank.
Also the battery life has been solid and the interface is super easy to use. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a camera with great features at a reasonable price.

An excellent camera taking great pictures with all the features one needs to obtain exceptional pictures. By far, beats what you can capture with your cell phone camera and is loaded with features that allow anyone to take extraordinary pictures. 5x Optical zoom is amazing coupled with 56P photo resolution! Front and Back cameras for great selfies. Great video resolutions up to 120FPS. Image stabilization guarantees great pictures! Well done, Minolta!

I bought this camera for my 11 yo nephew, whose parents do not want him to use a smartphone. He's so happy about it and now wants to become a professional photographer! It's super easy to use and setup (make sure you purchase an SD card to go along with it) and it comes with all the accessories you need. The picture quality is amazing - and the price is suitable. A great choice!

Decent small little camera. Entry level with great specs. Perfect to slip into a pocket when traveling. That way your more expensive phone stays safely hidden. We got it for our kids as they want to explore photography.
