Advantages: Light weight Disadvantages: Anti-shake not too hot
...this was replaced with a Konica Minolta Z5. In theory this should have been better. It was somewhat lighter, and had higher resolution with 5 mega pixels. That was the theory, but the truth is somewhat different. The view screen is useless when used outdoors, as it cannot be tilted (as that on the Canon can) so is not useable whilst in direct sunlight.
Whilst the camera is reasonably easy to hold (it is clear that attention to detail has been given ... ...designed in such a way that it is not easy for left-handed people to use. The menu, however, is easy to access and fairly easy to use. The flip up flash unit is a good idea and works reasonably well. And the 12x optical zoom is good.
Apart from the problem with the useless screen, there is also a problem with the anti-shake mechanism. It simply doesn't work. Pictures are often blurred and out of focus. This was a problem that never occurred with ...

Advantages: Ease of use Disadvantages: Flimsy battery cover
I will start with the only downfall I have found on this camera, it's battery cover is a little flimsy and is already broken on mine. Apart from that, I recommend this camera on all counts. The picture quality is amazing, its usability is simple and it has the look of a professional piece of equipment. I once took a picture of a helicopter, which was quite far away, scooping water out of the sea in Greece and dropping it on a bush fire. The image ...

Advantages: Top Performance;Good Value for money Disadvantages: Not that easy to use
...Build Quality Konica Minolta is enjoying much success with its Dimage Z series. The range is designed to give users an affordable super zoom in one compact body design. The Z5 is the latest incarnation and sticks to the same space age look that makes these camera so eye catching. There’s hardly a straight line to be seen on the z5s curvaceous plastic body, while the elongated hand grip fitted with all the important controls, provides excellent handling.
... ...The Z5 is fitted with Konica Minoltas anti shake technology and this model has a larger two inch LCD screen than that seen on previous Z series cameras. There’s also an electronic viewfinder which can make composing and manually focusing on macro subjects tricky.
Memory and Power
Konica Minolta has stuck to the four AA cell solution seen on earlier models, and it’s possible to fire off up to 300 shots using lithium ion rechargeable batteries. Shots ...
