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.

Has some issues with focusing

bynasj Jun 1, 2004
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Camera appeared cute enough; did not really end up testing it out fully
Cons Consistent focusing issues in non-brightly lit areas.
Recommended it? No

Very cute camera, but we found it completely unable to focus in quite a wide variety of situations. We could not get the camera to take any pictures that were even remotely in focus at either a children's dinner, a cocktail party or in our apartment (just basic room shots).

Recommended stylish camera

bysebkd Feb 3, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Picture quality. Very small. Stylish
Cons Could have larger LCD. Some issues with USB connection.
Recommended it? Yes

Bought the Blue version for $175. Used it for about a month now. Takes very good pictures. Which is probably what's this camera has best.

I had some issues with USB connection. I have a card reader, so I don't use it much anyway. However, I had to return it the first time for exchange... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

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 »
