little noise inside my Minolta Z10 ?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.point+shoot (More info?)

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.
