I love this camera!!!
2008-08-28
 |
| I have had this camera for almost 5 years. I have taken literally thousands of pictures with it and have never had a problem. I got it shortly after my son was born and have since used it to capture and freeze moments of his life. I take pictures almost on a daily basis not only of my family but also of nature and pretty much anything else that looks interesting. By no means am I a professional but in my opinion for a 5 yr old 4mp camera it still takes the sharpest most vibrant pictures. My mom recently bought my dream camera for herself and after using her camera then going back to my little minolta I still prefer my minolta. |

Konica Minolta out of camera business
2008-06-08
 |
| After 2 1/2 years my Z2 camera stopped working. When I turn it on the shutter makes a noise and the memory light comes on and stays on. The lens does not extend. I went to the KM website only to find the company no longer makes cameras and Sony has taken the responsibility for repairs. Sony charges a flat rate of $181 to work on the camera, plus parts, and we pay the shipping to get it there. There is an internal battery in the camera but only the mfg can replace it. Will that cost me the flat rate +? Will replacing the battery fix my problem? |

Great Camera

Pros:
* Uses AA batteries and can take nearly 250 pictures without a flash on newly charged batteries.
* Outstanding picture clarity outdoors.
* Incredible pictures at night when set on a tripod or flat surface and using the timer. Can set shutter to stay open up to 15 seconds. Only Z2 & Z3 allow that -- later models only allow about 5 seconds.
* 10x zoom is awesome, and takes great pictures outdoors even when hand held without antishake technology.
* Hot shoe for adding a flash.
* Extremely easy to use. My 7 y/o takes great pictures and movies with it, can download and adjust to sepia or b/w all by himself.
* Camera is full of features: ISO 50-400, movies up to 800x600, night movie mode, auto or manual white balance, no special software or equipment needed to get pictures off camera, hook up to computer or tv for slideshow, 2 macro modes, multiple flash settings, burst mode, timer, sepia/b&w/vivid color/natural color modes, sharpnes & contrast controls, able to use additional lenses, etc.
* More rugged than it feels. It's our family camera -- used by little kids and adults. We've taken tens of thousands of pictures with it in all kinds of lighting and weather -- it's been dropped countless times -- and it still works faithfully taking great pictures.
* Uses SD cards.
Cons:
* When adjusting the zoom while taking a movie you hear the camera motor on the sound of the movie.
* No anti-shake technology. Available in the Z3 and up.
* Taking pictures indoors, in normal low light is a challenge sometimes.
I love this camera and am going to buy another Konica Minolta -- probably Z3. |

Get a different one....

| This camera seems to be well built, & the functions & menus are easy to use. However, this is all great if you could take a good picture with it. This camera DOES NOT have image stablization & you will take 10 blurry pictures to each clear one. The white balance doesn't seem to work as well as it should either. I cannot stress enough how this camera struggles to take clear pictures. It's a real shame, but if your going to spend this kind of money on a digital camera you should expect more. |

nice camera, but bulky!
2007-09-08

| This was our first experience with a digital camera! I love the fact of the zoom feature and it is much more than a "point and shoot". We did experience a problem with the view finder (the window just for one eye) not working for over a year! We didn't take it to anyone to get fixed (the company didn't want it sent back) because it was bought with a gift card and we didn't have the money. All of a sudden,it started working again--don't have any idea why! Besides that my biggest complaint is that it is too bulky for everyday shooting or even vacation shooting. If you want a camera for beautiful shots and want to take your time with it, get this. |
