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.

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

byHawgWyld Mar 18, 2007
27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Not Quite Up To Snuff

byDarkmistress Aug 1, 2006
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros small, good under the right conditions.
Cons Slow shutter speed, slow processing, not good with landscapes
Recommended it? No

I'm in the market for a digital camera and, having not so long ago been really, really poor, I like to spend my money carefully. So first we research, then we test, then (after that whole Philips MCM530 CD Shelf System debaucle) we go home and we think things over. Since my husband spent 20 years... Read full review »
