Our take on the Minolta MN30WP 21MP Waterproof Digital Camera

The Minolta MN30WP is a low-cost point-and-shoot built for wet and rough use, with a 21MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, a fixed-focus zoom lens and 1080p video. It leans on automatic scene modes, face detection and anti-shake rather than manual control, and it stores photos on microSD. At $27.50 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the very bottom of its price range across the 10 stores that list it new, so the current price is about as low as this model gets.

Questions and answers

Is the Minolta MN30WP worth buying?
At $27.50 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it is worth it only as a cheap, disposable-feeling waterproof camera for daylight snapshots. If you want sharp photos or low-light shots, spend more on a better compact.
Is it actually waterproof?
Minolta markets the MN30WP as a waterproof camera for pool and beach use. It is not a dive camera, so check the depth rating before submerging it and keep the seals clean.
Does it have optical zoom or autofocus?
It has a fixed-focus zoom lens, so there is no true autofocus and close-ups will be soft. Expect the sharpest results at middle distances in good light.
What memory card does it take?
It uses microSD cards and has no internal storage, so you need to buy a card separately. A 32GB or 64GB card is plenty for JPEG photos and 1080p video.
How does it compare with a phone camera?
A modern phone takes better photos in most conditions. The MN30WP makes sense mainly where you would not risk a phone, such as water, sand or a child's hands.
When is it cheapest?
The $27.50 eBay price as of November 4, 2026 is at the low end of its recent range across 10 stores. Prices for budget cameras like this move little, so waiting rarely saves much.
