Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 Light Field Camera

The DiMAGE Z5's 12x optical zoom lens and 4x digital zoom combine for a total 48x zoom. Konica Minolta's proprietary CCD-shift Anti-Shake System--the same one used on the top-of-the-line Maxxum 7D and DiMAGE A200 models--is particularly effective at such high zoom ranges. It allows photographers to shoot with shutter speeds four to eight times longer (2-3 stops) than when shooting without an Anti-Shake function. It also provides steady, shake-free images taken during the evening or other dimly lit shots which are susceptible to blur because of their slow shutter speed. This means significantly less blur even without a flash or tripod.

After having a generally good experience with the new 6-Megapixel Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6, I decided to try the 5-Megapixel Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5.

Cons Poor overall quality, autofocus not so great.
Recommended it? No

I will never take a chance on a Konica Minolta again. I'm sure many work fine, but I've seen others here complain about problems they've had. Here's mine:
I had to send it back for repairs (you can't get it fixed locally) and they sent if back UNREPAIRED. I had to send it again to get it... Read full review »
