I purchased this digital camera four months ago after having used my Nikon Coolpix CP2100 for about a year. I wanted a better performing camera with a greater zoom and more pixels.
With the choice of cameras on the market, this camera is at an intermediate level. Offers Anti-shake, 6.0 mega pixel resolution and manual aperture & shutter speed settings.
It comes in two colours silver or black with a high quality plastic finish with brushed aluminium lens shroud and rubber anti-slip grips.
Very easy to use on screen display with many features including the choice of photo size, colour and imprint if required. The camera has a pop up flash so no need to turn it on or off via the on screen display menus. An additional flash unit can be fitted if required.
Large 2 inch LCD screen with a very high quality display which allows you to check your picture directly after the shot without you taking your finger off the button.
The Z6 has a 35-420 mm GT APO lens which offers a 12x optical zoom and a 4x Digital zoom.
The settings dial is firm and has that old style car stereo feel to it. The macro and flash type buttons are equally well placed above the dial so no need for fiddly onscreen display settings via drop down menus. The zoom is a functional switch which is pushed either left or right to zoom in or out.
As step up into the more expensive cameras this was my first choice giving the user a much greater freedom than say the compact cameras for quick and fun family photos. This camera will bring photography to the next level with many settings for that extra special photo.
With the use of a 512k memory card (not included) the camera can also be used as a video camera with sound for those important mini-movies but the real advantage is quality of the photographs. A useful function is the access to the SD card, with out having to open the battery tray.
On a fully charged set of 2300mAH rechargeable batteries a good 200 + photos at maximum quality setting can be taken without the worry of not having sufficient battery power. However, with the use of flash this will shorten the amount of photos that can be taken as will the use of the video camera.
I have found I run out of SD card space before battery use on a good days photo shoot.
The only feature which feels flimsy is the switch to change the type of display either onscreen view, view finder or playback. The knob feels weak and fragile.

Manufacturer's product description
The Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 incorporates its 12x optical Mega Zoom lens and large 2.0-inch LCD monitor into a compact and easy to hold camera design. The DiMAGE Z6's built-in 12x optical zoom lens and 4x digital zoom capability combine for a total zoom range of 48x. In addition, Konica Minolta's proprietary CCD-shift Anti-Shake system - the same system used in Konica Minolta's top-of-the-line Maxxum 7D digital Single Lens-Reflex (SLR) camera, and first featured in Konica Minolta's DiMAGE A series of digital cameras - allows photographers to shoot with shutter speeds four to eight times longer (2-3 stops) than when shooting without an Anti-Shake system. The system also provides steady, shake-free images in twilight or other dimly lit situations, which are susceptible to blurring because of the slow shutter speeds used. This means significantly sharper images even without the use of a flash or tripod. The DiMAGE Z6 has everything photographers need to take high-quality pictures: 6.0 effective megapixels, high-performance GT APO lens, and Konica Minolta's proprietary CxProcess III image processing technology, which gives users images as beautiful as those they see with their own eyes. Thanks to its energy-efficient design, the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 lets users enjoy picture-taking longer with four widely available AA Alkaline batteries that power the camera for up to approximately 240 shots, as well as compatibility with high-capacity rechargeable Ni-MH batteries for up to approximately 420 shots. To ensure that photographers don't miss a shot, the DiMAGE Z6 offers ultra-fast, accurate Rapid AF with Predictive Focus Control. Focusing in a mere 0.2 second at the wide-angle zoom position and only 0.3 second at the telephoto position, the DiMAGE Z6 is ideal for accurately capturing any subject, moving or still. In addition to high-precision Rapid AF, the DiMAGE Z6 features a fast startup time and short shutter-release lag time. In addition, the camera's Progressive Capture drive mode records images continuously at approximately 1.8 frames per second regardless of image size or quality, and saves the last 10 frames simply by releasing the shutter button.
