Default little noise inside my Minolta Z10 ?

Hello !

When I shake my new Minolta Z10 from back to front and front to back, I ear
a little noise inside, just like a piece of plastic travelling inside (it
seems to be near the viewfinder, but it's dificult to locate...)
I borrough about that...
Is it normal ?
If somebody has the same camera, can he tell me ?

Without this noise, I think the Z10 is a very good digital camera for a low
price !

Thanks for your answer.

Assuming the noise is harmless and the camera lasts a few years, perhaps it is.

I went to the shop and I compare with other Z10 : same strange noise !
It is normal.

Thanks.

If the camera has an automatic sensor to detect portrait/landscape
orientation, then perhaps it's just the sensor "ball" moving.

I have a Canon A75 and it sounds like a tiny ball is rattling around
if you shake it. I also have a Canon Elan IIe (35mm), and it too
makes this sound. This is normal for such cameras. I plan on getting
a 20D soon to replace the Elan IIe, and I won't be surprised if I
hear the same thing.


Minolta Z10 : no orientation sensor.
thanks.
