Good Camera

Strengths: Good Optical Zoom and High resolution.

Weakness: Alkaline battery would have been an asset.

Its a great deal. The Camera has lots of excellent features compared to the price that I've paid for it and also when compared to other products of same specifications. It has good optical zoom and really nice anti shake capability. It is good for ameature photographers like me.I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful!

Strengths: great zoom, fast and takes wonderful pics

Weakness: eats up battery a little fast

This is the nicest camera I have ever used. I would recommend this above any other high priced 6.0 mp camera. You will need a larger memory, I would suggest 1g. The pics come up as soon as you take the shot. The zoom is great..just enough and this one has the anti-shake which works real well. I love it!!

good camera

Strengths: lightweight, strong zoom, quick focus, zooming while recording, takes AA batteries.

Weakness: performance in low light can be better

I've had this camera for 2 weeks and I have to say that I am satisfied with my purchase. I was basically looking for a "mega-zoom" camera that is easy to live with. I had a film SLR and found it impractical to carry multiple lenses. So, for my first (I know! :P) digital camera, I was looking for something practical. This camera is not the smallest, but does shoot good pictures and is very easy to...

Dimage Z6 Mega zoom

Strengths: Lightweight, easy to handle body. Megazoom and antishake combination is superb. Outstanding battery life. Colour is a little soft but correct and enhances on Adobe very nicely. Menu easy to work with.

Weakness: Focus is slow in low light. I can live with this though. Just a little practise and you quickly overcome this weakness.

I've shot off over 900 photos in every situation I can find to explore it's capabilities. It took two weeks and my standard of shooting increased dramatically. I enjoyed the ability to manually use the settings and shoot off different exposures and speeds to see the result. I've used an inexpensive HP printer on gloss and matt paper and I'm very happy with the results to 20cm x 12.5cm. Above...

First Time Digital Camera Buyer

Strengths: Manual conrol, 12x zoom, anti shake, relatively light-weight, macro @ 1cm, night shots, great battery life, standard sd card

Weakness: EVF(electronic view finder)would be nice to see higher resolution, small video size

I have had this camera for about a month and this is my first digital. It is a great camera, I have taken night shots, macro shots, landscape and portrait shots and I am continually impressed with the features offered by this camera. While not a total digital SLR, it has plenty of manual controls and options to keep you busy setting composition. I was a little weary about purchasing this camera...

Nice

Strengths: For the price, and for the fact that it's not a professional digital SLR, amazing.

Weakness: The digital viewfinder. Resolution isn't great, and actual viewfinders are better anyway

I am amazed by this camera. The fact that it has everything it has for the price is incredible. The optical zoom, anti-shake and other functions are great. I've been using professional 35mm SLR's up till now, and decided to stick my toes in the digital water. I bought this camera to experiment with before I dropped the 2-3 grand on a nice SLR, and i'm pretty impressed with the options and...

Fast, Flexible, Fun, Very Good Images

Strengths: Speed, Versatility, Anti-Shake, Image quality, Moderate Size, Easy to use, Long zoom, Macro, Battery life

Weakness: Sometimes hard to find the optimal focus point in that long zoom range.

I got the camera 7 weeks ago and am very pleased with it. I have taken over 1200 photos with it. It is fast, easy to use, full-featured camera and produces very good pictures. Straight out of the camera the pics are a bit soft and a bit dull, but a touch of unsharp mask and color boost makes them very good indeed. I don't use the video function, so I won't judge the camera on this basis. I took...

get this camera

Strengths: anti shake

i own a dimage z1 the first dimage z series, this z6 sad to say is the last z series, minolta if you are reading with a camera like this why would you leave the camera business. this has it all 6 megapixels like my nikons, anti-shake like a vr lens and 420mm max zoom. it would cost me over 5,000 dollars to equip my nikons with these features. yes i own a d2h, d70, d100, and 12 lens. this is the...

GREAT CAMERA!

Strengths: Great zoom, Anti-shake, In-motion pictures, many functions

Weakness: All of the functions are kind of complicated, Hard to see in low-light settings

I originally bought this camera to take action shots of my boyfriend and other friends on my college's baseball team. It has been one of the most wonderful investments I have ever made! I take my camera everywhere I go! It takes great pictures in motion and you can manually or auto focus. The picture quality is supurb! I HIGHLY recommend this camera to anyone who love shooting pictures anywhere!...

Dimage Z6 early review

Strengths: Speed, zoom, features

Weakness: None so far

So far tis camera seems great. The delay for taking a picture is pretty good. The pictures look good and I tried it out in dim light. I will test it out in a dimly lit sports situation this weekend but I trust it will do fine. The manual control of a large set of features is great, if you like that sort of thing. For me, I just want it to take decent pictures fast in dim to good light so the...

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6

While its 12X zoom lens is impressive and the camera is easy to handle, the Konica-Minolta Dimage Z6’s unimpressive image quality and missing features make it a poor choice for photo enthusiasts.

Konica Minolta DiMage Z6

Offers a 12X zoom, but shutter lag and low image quality are detractors. Photos looked noisy, with fuzzy details.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 Digital Camera Review

Konica Minolta's DiMAGE Z6 is a 6 megapixel, 12x zoom camera that replaces the DiMAGE Z5, last year's 5 megapixel, 12x zoom model. The DiMAGE Z6 sells for as little as $340 online, averaging about $30 less than the Z5. The ultra zoom category inspires a lot of excitement, especially when the camera incorporates image stabilization. The Z6 includes Konica Minolta’s “Anti-shake” technology,...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6

The Konica Minolta Z6 features two strong trumps, firstly the beautiful lens with its large zoom range, secondly is the Anti-Shake system. The highly appreciated and praised Anti-Shake system effortlessly compensates jitter caused by the user's hand. The Konica Minolta Z6 is all-round applicable, offers an excellent innovation: the Anti-Shake system and moreover; its design nicely stands out from...
