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.

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 »

Great little camera, good brand good club/party cam

bybuzzinfrogg Jan 6, 2008
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros great low light shots, small size, good zoom, fairly quick shutter speed
Cons no view finder, kinda small LCD
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great camera for beginners and teens, but best of all, it's compact and is fairly quick. This camera out performs the thinner new cameras that are out on the market. There isn't much to say about this little cam, other than it's a solid good working camera. It's just too bad that Minolta... Read full review »
