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.

The Long Zoom digicam market segment has long been dominated by Olympus and Fuji, but Konica-Minolta is quickly taking the lead in this rapidly growing and very popular marketing niche. The new Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z3 has been completely re-designed to provide improved performance, a raft load of...

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...

This is my third digital camera. I was shopping for one with high megapixels and decent optical zoom, most seriously considering the Kodak 10x optical zoom EasyShare. I found this model at Costco. For nearly $100 cheaper than the Kodak, it came with almost twice the memory (internal+included card)...
