$80 Camera from Costco: Worth it? Minolta MND23

I tested an $80 Point-and-shoot Camera found in Costco (November 2025), called the Minolta MND23. There are surprisingly a lot of different functions like a selfie camera, digital zoom, beauty filters, etc., but regardless of the gimmicks, I wanted to give it an honest review: how does this $80 camera perform in real life scenarios?

The answer: this camera is NOT good. It doesn't capture the moment well because the shutter speed is too slow, the quality of the images are bad, the user interface is slow (just to name a few problems). Quite frankly, I don't recommend it at all.

I know digicams growing in popularity these days, but this one isn't one you should add to your list. Your phone is probably much better in terms of BOTH photo and video capabilities.

If you have a camera you want me to test out, let me know!
