Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 reviewed

Given Konica Minolta's recent decision to cut back on its consumer digicam business, the Dimage Z6 may well be the last model in the company's long-running ultra-zoom compact line. If that's the case, judging from the review the model ...

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 Point-and-Shoot

For getting close to the action with your camera, a longer zoom is better. And the Konica Minolta DiMage Z6 has the look of a winner in that respect: Its 12X optical zoom is longer than most. And at a street price of $400, the DiMage Z6 is pretty cheap...

Powerful 12x zoom Low price

Noticeable shutter lag Photos looked noisy with fuzzy details

All of these issues limit the DiMage Z6's appeal. It's undeniably a step up from a point-and-shoot (and it doesn't cost much more than many of them), and the long zoom is a nice feature. But if you're after advanced features, you'll soon find that you...

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 review

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6

12X zoom lens; Anti-Shake image stabilization; broad feature set; extremely close macro focus; flexible continuous-shooting modes; compact SLR-style body.

Subpar EVF; less-than-stellar photo quality; movie mode downgraded to 320x240 resolution.

Compact and affordable, the image-stabilized megazoom Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 delivers a solid feature set. Finicky photographers may take issue with its image quality, though.

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z6 review

Konica Minolta enhanced their series Megazoom digital cameras with the new 6 Megapixel Konica Minolta Z6. Konica Minolta seem to be getting a liking for it, their series of Megazoom cameras have grown to several generations now. The introduction of the...

The Konica Minolta Z6 is the successor of the Z5. Besides an increase of resolution from 5 to 6 Megapixels and an improved energy consumption there is not much more new on it other than the fact that it is a logical step for Konica Minolta to enter the...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 Digital Camera Review

The design of this camera is very different than the rest of the cameras in it's range. If you thought that a SLR-like ultra zoom digicam can not look fancy and stylish, you are wrong. The round forms of the design do not interfere with the camera...

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6

While its 12X zoom lens is impressive and the camera is easy to handle, the Konica-Minolta Dimage Z6's unimpressive image quality and missing features make it a poor choice for photo enthusiasts.

Inexpensive ; 12X optical zoom ; sturdy case

No white balance bracketing ; low ISO speed ; slow start-up ; poor image quality ; poor skin tones ; short battery life

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 Digital Camera Review

The Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 is a 6 megapixel camera that features a 12x optical zoom and Konica Minolta's CCD-shift Anti-Shake system.

Quick autofocus ; Minimal shutter lag ; Outstanding battery life ; Effective anti-shake ; Quick 12x optical zoom

Some issues with overexposure (which seems to cause a lack of detail) ; Higher than average noise ; Iffy memory card access door

You'll find the camera, software, neck strap, 16MB SD card (yes, get a bigger one), lens cap, USB cable, and A/V cable

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 6-Megapixel Digital Camera Review

I have pre-ordered the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 even before it was available and was able to get it shortly after it started being shipped. Having used the similar Canon S2 IS, Panasonic DMC-FZ5 and Sony DSC-H1 cameras, I wanted to see how the Z6...

The Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 is a very good mega-zoom camera. With 12x stabilized optical zoom, 6-Megapixel resolution and a price tag that undercuts the 5-Megapixel competition, it is as excellent choice. As long as you can stand its color modes and...
