Definately Buy This Camera!

I purchased this camera in October 2005, and have not been disappointed in any feature in the 2 1/2 years since. It takes amazing pictures, and all I do is point and shoot on the auto setting. I set it to the finest quality and largest file size, and can crop a small section out of a shot and then print out great quality prints in 11 X 14 (probably larger, but that's as large as I have done). I frequently have to argue with the employees at the photo departments that I am not illegally duplicating professional, copy-righted pictures! I love this camera, and highly recommed it!

Weak camera

I always wanted to try the Z6 and so here it. In general a very poor camera, but good optics, macro ability, and 12 zoom with anti shake that seems to work. The ergonamics and feel of the camera are outstanding as it feels a natural part of your hand. However, must shoot in ISO 50, anything more has lots of noise. The camera is forever wanting to over expose and so pictures must be shot at -1. Also general image quality is poor. The auto features are weak and useless. Battery life is OK as long as you are using rechargable. Slow to focus AF. Also no TIFF or RAW ability for higher quality image. The camera makes you work!

I had a Dimage S414 which has excellent optics and photo quality so was hoping for more from the Z6.

Check out my photos which make the Z6 seem better than it is.

Ridiculous price for outdated camera

I bought this model 3 or 4 years ago for a little over $200. I recently lost it and was going to buy another since it was a great camera for the price then. However, for these times the Z6 technology is dated and you can get a better camera with the same features, plus more, (e.g., the Nikon CoolPix P100, a 10 MP camera with a 26X optical zoom) for at least $100 less than Amazon is asking for this model. Asking $400 for this outdated camera is ridiculous! A reasonable price for this camera would be more in the $100 - $150 range.

Workhorse Digital Camera

We are forensic structural engineers and architects and have three of these cameras. The zoom capability is great for our work, since we can get closeups from a distance, eliminating the need to use tall ladders. On each of our projects, we take anywhere from 25 to 100 photos and we are doing over 200 projects a year. The only thing that can make this camera better would be a built-in rechargeable battery. Between the 3 cameras, we use a lot of AA batteries,, but we are obtaining the batteries at a discounted price. Overall, we recommend this camera, especially if you need a great zoom.

great for the right price

i bought this camera used for $100 (in perfect condition other than some scratches on the grips), and for that price, it's absolutely great. others have documented some drawbacks (some noise; some problems in low light conditions, etc.); i agree with some of these faults- but you just can't buy anything of this quality for $100!

Buying a camera through Amazon

This reveiw particularly concerns Australians. I purchased a Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 through Amazon because 1) My Z2 was accidentally damaged and QBE insurance would only pay me the written down value. That value corresponded to a camera offered by QBE that was inferior to my Z2.Traps for young beginners! I declined the QBE offer and elected instead to find a Konica Minolta elsewhere and pay any 'overcharge".2)Konica Minolta is no longer available in Australia because a Japanese company has bought them out and replaced the KM with their own brand. Elsewhere in the world Konica Minolta is still available.The Dimage series is a top camera for the amateur in my opinion,and I have had consistently good results from the Z2
I found the later model Z3 (anti-shake)on Amazon and by paying a few dollars above the insurance offer (basically the cost of airfreight and insurance) found I could land the Z3 here within my budget.Despite the fact that Amazon indicates on several of their sites that they do not undertake the forwarding of cameras internationally, they do point out that although 'they' dont, some of their suppliers do. In fact that is what happened. I bought through Amazons' supplier...'Electronics Club'. I bought the camera on Friday Western Australian time and followed its progress with the UPS tracking system over the weekend. It was quite a journey, but the transhipment from one aircraft to another could not be faulted. Rarely more than a few hours via US West Coast then Canada,Korea,Hongkong,Philippines,Singapore and finally Perth in Western Australia. I received the camera in pristine condition at my front door from UPS on Tueday morning. The five day service door to door from one side of the globe to the other was phenomenal. Well done to UPS, to Amazon, Electronics Club and your contractors.

Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 Digital Camera

I purchased this Dimage Z3 Digital Camera as a replacement for an identical one I had that got damaged beyond repair. My original had gone to places as far reaching as Churchill ,Canada to see the Polar Bears, and Africa on safari. The photos I have taken have been really excellent and often as good, or better, than some taken with much more expensive SLR cameras. The anti- shake technology works very well. I'm not a pro, but this camera makes me look like one.Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 4MP Digital Camera with Anti Shake 12x Optical Zoom

Good camera, after two years autofocus fails, but fixable

In case your autofocus stops working (which mine did after attempting to zoom). Power cycling, reseting to factory default, lens cleaning did not help, but after several zoom outs and ins, the autofocus came back. Apparently, the zoom mechanicism some how interfered with the autofocus. Typically, I do not use the zoom feature and will avoid it in the future. Otherwise, for 2+ years, this has been a very good camera.

Incredible camera, incredibly inept warranty service! They broke my camera!

The X50 is the ultra ultracompact! But mine had a very common problem. After weeks of normal use and NO DROPPING the LCD got stuck in the ultra high contrast mode! You can see "ghosts" on the screen when you turn it a certain way and you can read some of the menu items. I even used the included A/V cable to see the menus on my TV and adjust the contrast - no luck. So I did the online customer service request for a warranty repair and received the RMA. There was NO DAMAGE to the LCD, it just wouldn't display properly. My X50 still took wonderful pictures, I would just use the button to turn off the barely-functioning display. There were no other problems with my camera. Weeks later I was told by Sony/Konica/Minolta service that my camera (just a few weeks old) suffered from corruption and that they would CHARGE ME for the covered repair. I didn't pay, they sent it back totally BROKEN. No power, no pics, & no recourse for me. They refu$e to return it to the working condition it was in. THEY are CORRUPT!

Konica Minolta DiMage ultra compact digital zoom camera

I have found this camera to be one of the very best of its type. The operating system is ultra quick, fastest of any digital camera I have ever seen so you can grab that quick picture you might otherwise miss. The pictures are ultra sharp and can easily be enlarged to 11X14. The zoom feature is easy to use and there are more features then most people could ever use. The rechargeable battery lasts a very long time even when heavly using the flash. An added bonus is it has a real viewfinder that makes it easy to use in bright sun. It is easily pocketable, pants or shirt. Its one weakness is the viewscreen, which can be easily broken if the camera is accidently dropped on its edge. The camera is tough enough to keep working, but you'll have to wait to down load your SD card onto your computer to view your shots if you were unluckly enough to break the screen. In general, this is a tough little camera. Too bad Konica Minolta got out of the camera business and too bad Kodak or some other company didn't pick up this model or the X60 and continue manufacturing it. It would take a digital SLR to take better quality pictures.

Great little camera.....fits in my purse. I love the fact that it has a rechargeable battery as I bought a second one so I am always ready!!! The battery holds a charge a long time. Good pictures and I find the camera easy to use.It has quite a zoom feature too. It has many features that I should use but I have not taken the time to learn about.

Rock solid Digi Cam

I have had this camera for over a year now and it still does a ok job. Its very durable as I dropped it onto solid tile floor twice , several times onto the street and all that happened was the battery flew out.The Batt cover does open very easy under normal condition anyway. Barely a dent or scratch. Overall it does a great job taking pictures for the average person.However you do at times see a purple line on the LCD when taking pictures under lots of sunlight. Red eye is also seen in my pictures using the flash at night. Taking video is not the best but does the job. The price is way more now than what I paid back in 2006-$299.00. So maybe the value has gone up?? This Camera would be better priced at the $150 range.

Point and shoot at its purest

After some researched, I brought the Kinica Minolta X60 to served as my backup to my Canon S2 IS. X60 is a small, slim and lightweight camera that is perfect for a quick photo almost anywhere because you can stick this camera almost anywhere on you.

This camera is almost a purest high quality point and shoot camera you can buy with your money. Everything on it is on automatic modes of one sort or another. There are nine modes including the automatic which actually decide which mode is best for the photo. Most of the modes can be found in most digital cameras like "sports" or "landscape". A child can take a good shot with this camera and it is near perfect for any beginner who walk into the digital camera age with their eyes shut.

There are few small things you can do to adjust and adapt your camera each shot. White balance can be adjusted, ISO from 50-400 can be adjusted, drive mode can be adjusted and other minor features that this camera come packed with. There is even an "anti-shake" indictor if your shutter speed is too slow and your hand is shaking too much. Use a tripod says the computer. The camera also come with a movie mode which is pretty basic as well.

The housing of this camera appears to be hard plastic with a metal feel. It seem to be well built. The large 2.5 inch LCD screen seem to be most vulnerable to damage and this may be the camera's only physical weak link. Proper care and attention would be needed, a good camera case for example is a must. The large 2.5 LCD is very nice. But remembered that it serves as your viewscreen for all your shooting. The controls are bit on the small sizes. There is no way you can handled the controls of this camera with gloves for example. People with long fingernails will have an easier time then people without.

The camera unfortunately, is not powered by AA batteries but by NP-700 ion battery. It got a decent life to it but I would encourage anyone buying this camera to buy couple more for back up. Buy it from a third party since Minolta overcharged for their NP-700 outragously. On the other side, X60 uses SD cards for its storage.

The software that come with your camera is pretty decent sort. Some people will used it and others will not. It pretty subjective.

Overall, this is a very good camera that should meet the needs of most point and shoot crowds. The small size and weight allowed it be taken almost anywhere. Only danger to that is that you might even forget that you have it with you. The camera appears to be very reliable, somewhat rugged and shoot well. This is a computer driven camera and basically all you have to worry about is point and shoot!

Great Digital Camera: Lightweight & High Quality

The Konica Minolta DiMage camera is one of the best consumer cameras on the market. My fiance and I have this digital camera and have taken thousands of photos with it and have been very satisfied with the camera.

We love taking pictures, especially of beautiful scenery from our travels. We often post our photos online for family and friends and consistently receive compliments on the quality and color depth of the pictures. You can see some of our travel photos and judge for yourself at GoSightsee.com.

The camera is very lightweight, making it easy to carry in a purse or pocket. We recommend getting a carrying case that clips onto your belt or pants to protect the preview screen from getting scratched. This is the one that we like: Konica Minolta Deluxe Case for Dimage X, Xi, XG, X31, X50 & X60 Digital Cameras The camera case is black and has a magnetic button clasp. You can carry an extra memory card in it as well. It's worth the few extra dollars to keep your camera in good condition for years to come.

The Konica Minolta DiMage camera is very small and sleek and looks cool. People even ask us about our camera while we're taking pictures! The preview screen is large compared to the size of the camera. We also liked that it came with a rechargeable battery (which charges fully in about an hour).

I highly recommend this digital camera!

Great small compact camera

I love this camera. My wife had the x50 and unfortunately I lost it while in a trip to DR. So I decided to buy another Minolta but this time upgraded to the x60 and its even better than my x50. The picture seems to be a little brighter and not as dark as the x50. But the camera is sexy and functional. I love the fact it can slip in my pocket and never be seen. But its also the reason I lost my first one because it is so small. But if you want a compact high quality digital camera, then the minolta x60 is for you.

Not so great.

I bought this camera because it was a good price for a 5 megapixel digital camera plus Konica Minolta is a good name in cameras. The viewing screen is small but worst of all its got a lot of noise in it; it's virtually impossible to see if your shot is clean and in focus. The camera doesn't have an image stabilizer so the slightest movement and you've got a blurry shot. It's bulky and odd looking and doesn't travel well.

It's one year later and I'm going to buy a Sony DSCW50 because it's smaller, lighter, thinner, has an image stabilizer, is user friendly and with a longer battery life.

Wonderful

I just purchased this camera as a replacement for my Z-10. (It got busted. Still works though.) I Love the Konica Minolta Dimage Viewer Z series cameras! They are easy to use, and comfortable to carry. They take wonderful photos and the zoom is great! I have only 1 small complaint. The video setting has no sound. Still overall a GREAT CAMERA!! Two thumbs up!

Love the Konica Minolta Dimage Z20!!

We had the Dimage Z10 3MP and loved it. We were in Hawaii on the black sand beach where we dropped it and broke the battery lid latch. Otherwise we would still be using it. We liked it so much that we went out of our way to find this very hard to find Z20. Is it the best camera out there? No. There are better with more options. However, for simplicity and quality, with good features, this is the best for us. The other reason to buy this camera is the price. Under $200. Great buy!
