Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: no zoom feature
We got this camera just over three years ago. I'll never forget it. My husband was desperate to get a digital camera but we were due to go on holiday in the next two weeks. I said we'd get when we got back but he couldn't wait. While I was at work he went and bought one on the credit card.

It's not a bad camera really. It has a screen on the back so that you can see what picture you have just taken and if you don't like it you can just delete it straight away and take another. You can delete all pictures in one go or one at a time. And there is a lock feature that you can put on to prevent any pictures being deleted by mistake.
You can change the setting on the camera from standard quality, fine and super fine. ...

Advantages: Small Disadvantages: No zoom, pretty ordinary
...better value. The Minolta 2300 has a 2 million pixel resolution with no zoom and uses CompactFlash storage. Its a compact digital with pretty much standard features. It uses USB to download or serial so is compatible with just about any operating system. If you were looking for a value digital camera then i would look else where as there is better on the market. All in all not fantastic perhaps sugest the Kodak 3400 or Fuji FinePix 2400 instead. ...

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... more

Significantly cheaper than the Z5 but not significantly different
The Z3 is 1 in a series of currently (August 2005) 6 cameras. The Z1, Z2, Z3, Z5, Z10, Z20 all have incremental specifications. Note that there is no Z4. However, something which can be more
There is a tendency for manufacturers to talk a lot of rubbish when it comes to selling cameras. I call it number abuse. They hope by lobbing enough numbers at you they can persuade you that because 'the numbers are higher' its a better camera. Please.... more
