Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: 12x Optic Zoom. Anti-Shake mode. Non-proprietary batteries. (4)AAs have very long life. Very quick video-technology Autofocus. Easy-to-use menu/setup. Good value for features. Weakness: Small LCD screen. Could use more resolution in "Optic" LCD. No focus assist light for low light photos. Weak (though functional) USB cable port. The Z3 is a nice camera with loads of great features and a couple of weaknesses. I believe the positives far outweigh the negatives. The 12x Optic Zoom is unsurpassed in the market, especially at a little over 400.00. You won't need add-on lenses to zoom to distant objects. The photos are of very good quality, acceptable, though I expected a bit crisper details from this camera. Another plus is...

Continued use update.Strengths: Body design. Quality anti-shake system. Excellent macro mode. Very versatile for the price. Weakness: Low light focus sometimes difficult. Accessory and card doors vulnerable to early damage. Diopter adjustment stiff. Did a lot of searching to find a digital that was close to the features of an SLR. Believe this camera came the closest for a reasonable price, especially with the anti-shake system. Super macro to 12x optical and movies besides. You can hold on to this camera in rough conditions and still run the controls as compared to the flat side cameras. Excellent super macro mode. Because it is a very...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: 12x zoom Image stabilization Fast response time Quality movie clips Feels good and easy to hold stable Weakness: Flash not accurate on many indoor scenes Battery life indicator - seems to indicate low batt earlier than necessary Size - cannot fit in most digicam bags Memory door weak Battery door does not lo Purchased through Staples on a price-match at $419. I've used the Z1, Z2, and Z3 cameras for about a year now. I've had the Z3 for approximately 2 months. I've been able to take excellent photos with the camera. Outdoor exposures are mostly accurate, and the image stabilization definitely aids getting sharp photographs with the longer focal lengths. I haven't used the movie modes much, but movie...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Very fast, nice handling, good price, easy menus Weakness: Not great in low light conditions, and a learning curve This is a wonderful camera - easy to hold in the hands, light, fast, and relatively simple to use (but a learning curve to access and use well all the features). The concerns I have read in other reviews - noise, flimsy sd cover - are really not a problem (noise only comes in, so far in my tests, with low light conditions or very dramatic contrasts in light/dark conditions, and the sd cover is...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: good use of battery power; awesome resolution; light weight Weakness: motor drive of lens is slow "People pictures" are super sharp. Light weight of the camera body makes use easy. Backlighting problems are virtually eliminated with no adjustments required by user. The anti-shake feature saves some shots that might have had to be deleted.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Light weight, fast, 12X optical zoom, full manual control, image stabilizer, good grip Weakness: Buy more memory! 16mb gives you 6 images at the best setting. I bought this camera primarily for the 12X zoom and image stabilization. This is the only camera I found with more than 8X, greater than 4MP, image stabilizer, and less than $400. Movie mode is easy to set and fun to use. Self-timer is set though the drive mode on the second menu, and must be reset after each use. Kind of a pain. If you're going to use the Zoom indoors, get a bigger flash....

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: The best part about the Konica Minolta Diamage Z3 camera is its optical zoom 12X. Very few 4 meg pixal cameras will have this kind of optical lense in the price range. The non shake feature is great! Weakness: There are many camera directions! One has to take a lot of time to learn all the "ins and outs" of the Dimage Z3 . I would have liked the camera to be a little smaller in size as well. I think, over all, this the camera is great for the price, and the features it has. The non shake feature is great when taking pictures of moving objects. The zoom is outstanding for those small objects that one thinks won't come out. For the general camera user this camera has just about everything one would want. The hardest thing about the camera is figuring out all that it can do!

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Anti-shake, easy to use, good battery life, SD card, software very usable Weakness: It has somewhat of a learning curve for those of us used to automatic cameras. Still trying to figure out how to take action shots. I've only had the camera 2 weeks and generally pretty impressed with it. This is my first digital so I can't compare to other digitals. It's very light weight, almost too much. The pictures I've taken have been good. I would recommend a tripod for night shots. I tried to take a picture of my kid's pumpkin and I absolutely could not get it. Generally, it's got good point and shoot if you don't...

Not the newest camera on the block, but doesn't show...Strengths: Lens quality, manual settings, 12x zoom - fast, hotshoe, anti-shake, movie mode, AAs, image quality, nightshooting (pic and vid), 15s slowest shutter speed, 1cm super macro! Weakness: Small so-so LCD, no focus assist lamp, only a couple of accessories available. Like with all dig cams, you'll need to buy case, rechargeables and charger and a big, fast SD card This is a great camera with no technical downsides worth mentioning. I'd like to highlight some of it's main features: > Huge, fast zoom. The Minolta GT lens is superb. The Carl Zeiss and Leica lenses are only slightly better. > No red-eye at all - when you remember to use red-eye reduction. Very little even if you forget. > By switching to nightshot mode (or by going into manual mode) you can...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3
The original DiMAGE Z1 was clearly one of the best long-zoom digicam bargains on the market, a fact that no doubt contributed to its being one of the most popular cameras on the entire IR site during its release year. When the Z2 came along, it extended the Z1's already marvelous capabilities with a higher-resolution CCD chip, expanded continuous shooting and movie mode options, and a few other... Top

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 4 Megapixel Bridge Camera
Strengths: Lightwieght, versatile,substantial telephoto, excellent preset selections,antishake works wonderfully and in low light results are very good (molten lava at night at max telephoto photographed well)
Weakness: Remembering to lift the flash up and low light photgraphy can be challenging.
I had been searching for a light weight more versatile digital camera. A camera that operated more like the SLR I was used to using. My first digital camera was disappointing, naturally, since there was such a delay until it registered the image as well as the limited telephoto. I have been more than pleased with the speed and accuracy with which this camera captures the image I see with my eyes...
