The following is a Reader Review of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z2 - submitted by Chris from Canberra Australia - Submit your own Review.
'I got my Z2 yesterday, bought online. Some intial impressions and thoughts: Picture quality is superb. The Digital Subject Processing and auto focus lock is beyond great, almost Blade-Runner like in it's screen feedback to you in realtime, allowing you to compose your shot and semi-preview before you even take it !! Put simply, this camera allows you to take totally professional looking shots without going to manual settings. (whch I haven't delved into yet, but you can manipulate aperture/speed/light settngs endlessly.)
UK/European Readers buy the Minolta DiMAGE Z2
When at max (10x) optiical zoom, I hope you got a steady hand otherwise you'll get slight blur. Tripod, no probs. An On screen icon warns you though of when your hand is shaking too much for a clear image. (cool, eh ?) The 800x600 video is beautiful looking, but it's 15fps, i prefer the 30fps 640x480. Being able to use the zoom at any stage of videoing is awesome. I meean, this thing is as good as a digital video cam. The realtime monitor is 60fps, unheard of for a digital still, giving you totally smooth screen preview.
I shot all day today at a bush cricket match on the first charge of batteries, no low warning. And if all that aint enough, It looks totally cool....people today were like, 'what IS that camera ?' :)
The only niggle I have is that I think the battery door is a little bit on the flimsy side. Just be careful and you should be fine.
It's a #$^%# great cam. I got it for $720(AU) and I'm totally wrapped. No hesitations on reccomending this cam for any stage of user. Advanced will get joy out of all it's manual settings and ability to manipulate images, and the novice can just set to auto and shoot fantastic looking shots.'
