The DiMAGE X31 is relatively small and compact. Its fully automatic exposure control will suit novices and others interested in point-and-shoot operation, although the user does have a few options for brightening or darkening the image, or adjusting the color balance. The 3.2-megapixel CCD delivers images with enough resolution to make sharp 8x10 prints, and lower resolution options for email purposes. The DiMAGE X31's tiny size makes it a natural for "anywhere/anytime" photography. With its point-and-shoot appeal and ease of use, the DiMAGE X31 could be a good choice for novice users who simply want to take good pictures without getting too involved in the technicalities.
