Konica Minolta KD-500ZStrengths: excellent quality for macro work (use the settings at wide NOT zoom at all), very good color reproduction Weakness: use only 128MB memory cards, not higher capacity memory cards, you will have problems I am using the camera for heavy duty archival work of rare manuscripts (1,500 pictures/day); the camera exhibited very high quality output. Make sure you use up to 128 MB memory cards it seems that cards cannot handle more memory I burnt 3 SD 256MB cards the first day. So, per technical support recommendation I switched to 128 MB memory stick and I have taken up to now around 10,000 pictures!! Great camera for articles from journals in libraries that you would like to archive. 95% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Konica Minolta KD-500ZStrengths: Great picture- high res, if you have enough mem, you'll be like a professional. Easy menu, decent zoom, small enough, great appearance. Weakness: Stay away from the digital zoom- makes stuff look crappy. Got this camera for my 18th birthday. I swear, every picture I take is great. The MONOCHROME feature is unbelievable! You can look all artsy if you go B&W. Also got a sepia thing, which is like the colors on old wanted posters. You can make the camera totally silent, no beeps or anything, and basically do whatever you want. Great bargain. Get yourself this camera and 128 MB of SD memory and you won't need a new camera for years. 92% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Konica Minolta KD-500Z
Strengths: Compact size, ease of use, vaersatility and image quality
Weakness: Lack of printed manual
I believe my in-depth research paid off with a "sleeper" here. I checked all of the "name" cameras and decided the versatility and features of this unit equalled or beat them all. I have been extremely pleased with this camera. Image quality is better than I had anticipated, especially in a camera this compact. The software package is excellent. This camera is a perfect fit for travelling and all-around photo usage for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an all-around, compact high quality camera.
