Konica Digital Revio KD-400Z

The Konica KD-400Z is a high end digital compact camera, it is a (nearly) 4 Megapixel (2304x1704) camera boasting a 3x optical zoom lens, and a whole lot more. To the layman, it’s almost as good looking/stylish as a Canon Digital Ixus, but has far more capability. This camera was launched in Spring 2002 and currently retails for £338 (via internetcamerasdirect.co.uk; which Jessops will price-match), though expect its price to fall soon as it’s near ...
...around your neck, you’d think Konica would at least give us a carry case. Also you are only supplied with a quick start manual, if you want the manual you have to print it off the CD, which comes with Acrobat Reader (to view the manual), QuickTime (to view any movies you shoot) and Win 98 and earlier drivers (Win Me and XP do not require a driver). The software crashed my PC when I tried to install only the manual, so if I were you, I would just ...

Review of Konica Digital Revio KD-400Z

The Konica KD-400Z is my fourth attempt at finding the pefect digital camera in the last five years. After buying one of the first low-res cameras and upgrading over the years, I finally decided to hold off until something came on the market that had the following spec: - 3 Megapixels - 3 x optical zoom - Video (with audio) - Pocketable (at least compared with my old Kodak DC210) - Pricetag of less than £350 When I decided to re-look at the ...
...S3 and this Konica fitted the spec, and opted for the Konica, mainly as it added the following in addition to my own requirements: - Recharchable battery - 4 not 3 megapixel -Slots for SD/MMC card and memory stick The Konica measures 98mm x 55mm x 31mm, and with it's all-metal finish and sturdy lens protector (that doubles as the camera's on-off switch), you really get the feeling that you're using something both small and exceptionally well ...

Review of Konica Digital Revio KD-400Z

Konica Revio KD-400Z Well I have been using this camera a few months now so it is time to review the results. My preference for taking pictures is to set it at1600 by 1200 pixels which will give a decent picture. The smaller pics at 640 by 480 are ok for emails or for palms but they do not achieve the best results. I have taken a few pics at 2304 by 1704 pixels (excellent results) but you I have to keep zooming them down to view on a monitor set ...
...time. By the way if use compression when saving you can double the amount of pics your memory card can normally hold and it does not deteriorate the picture that much, so my best setting is 1600 compressed (you will get approx 160 on a 64mb card). The camera is small enough to fit in your pocket but is quite solid. It comes with a 1.5 inch colour screen. I find it easy to operate and does not drain the battery that quickly. The screen display can ...

Review of Konica Digital Revio KD-400Z

...since been superseded by the Konica KD 410Z which my husband has bought. (But that is in anotherreview.) The Konica KD 400Z doesn’t come with a lot of memory, so we bought a 256MB memory card for it. On a 256MB card, I get 144 pictures at the highest resolution, but even on a 64 MB card, you can get 40 shots on the finest resolution. ***Technical stuff*** This comes with 4.0-megapixels (maximum 2,300 x 1,700-pixel resolution images.), although ...
...more pictures on the memory card. This gives great picture quality, and means that you can increase the size of your photo’s to about 10x8, and still get a good picture. There is an optical viewfinder. This is handy if the light is bright outside, and you have trouble seeing the screen, which can be a problem in the summer. There is a 1.5-inch colour LCD monitor. This is quite good quality, and you can see the pictures quite clearly on it, as long ...

Review of Konica Digital Revio KD-400Z

I have been using the camera for a good while now, and feel that I can comment safely on its good and bad points - What do I like about it.... well, it has a fabulously solid feel and finish to it, I was very suprised at first and thought it would be a lot more "plasticky" but it definitley looks and feels the part. Also, the blue flashing light at the front, what a godsend !! my baby boy never stops looking at it, so his pictures always turn out ...
...toddler!). What else, yes, its compact size makes for easy transportation and it has a very quick start-up time from cold with almost instant shutter closure, again perfect for toddler photos. What don't I like.... not a lot really, unless you are looking at doing full Digital SLR type photography, (then KD-400Z is not for you!) this camera is very easy to use and fun. everything is automatic, but that can be a bind for shutter speeds, you have ...

Review of Konica Digital Revio KD-400Z

...a card reader when traveling. The Konica will mount up as an external volume on just about any Apple Mac or Windows PC. My only complaint has been the high cost of a spare battery for the Konica as it uses a bespoke battery. All in all a real winner. ...

Review of Konica Digital Revio KD-400Z

I take this little camera everywhere, indoors and out, people and views, it is my third digital camera, so I had a good idea of what I wanted! I love using it as the photos are all so clear, its easy to focus and use, though a little slow between shots. The video uses the battery and space up very fast. So be careful, it is worth having a spare battery. I carry this camera in my handbag or pocket, it takes excellant photos indoors even without a ...
