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.

Konica Minolta KD-500Z

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...
