Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 Light Field Camera

The new DiMAGE Z3 features a 12x optical Mega Zoom lens, which can be combined with the camera's 4x digital zoom for up to 48x total zoom capability. The DiMAGE Z3's newly developed GT APO lens offers strikingly clear, high-contrast, high-resolution images thanks to Konica Minolta's G lens optical technology. The AD (anomalous dispersion) glass and two aspheric lens elements help the DiMAGE Z3 correct spherical aberration and curvilinear distortion, factors that can cause problems at high zoom ranges. The advanced, high-sensitivity 4-megapixel CCD combines with Konica Minolta's proprietary CxProcess(TM) II technology to give photographers images as beautiful as those they see with their own eyes.

Well, it's got nothing on a good film camera...

Pros Durable; great macro photography; easy on batteries
Cons Hard to use in low lighting situations even with external flash; lower resolution
Recommended it? Yes

Unless you're going to spend about $3,000 for a digital camera, just get ready to put up with something that's just almost as good as a quality film camera. That's just how it is, sadly, and the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 digital camera produces pictures that are fairly common of competing cameras... Read full review »

Pros Improved body, good menu displays.
Cons Disappointing photo quality on low-light images, very little lens protection.
Recommended it? No

I recently made the decision to try Konica-Minolta's Dimage Z3 digital camera. Up until now, I've been shooting with a FujiFilm S5000 and have generally been pleased, but have had some minor discontent with the photo quality. The grass seemed to be a bit greener on the Z3's side, but was it?
