Product Description

The DiMAGE Z1 is a powerful yet easy-to-use SLR-type digital camera. Designed around Konica Minolta's new 10X Mega-zoom, the DiMAGE Z1 features advanced technology and Rapid AF so you can capture images in virtually any situation. TV quality 30fps VGA movies expand its capabilities even more. This compact, stylish DiMAGE Z1 has the imaging tools you need to capture the pictures you want.The DiMAGE Z1 design reflects the sophistication and future of digital technology. Significantly smaller than a compact 35mm SLR camera with a built-in flash and zoom lens, this powerful imaging system can easily slip into a fanny pack or hip bag.

Amazon.com Product Description

Ergonomically designed, SLR-styled, and packed with powerful automatic and manual controls, the Minolta Dimage Z1 is a great choice for advanced photographers. It features an amazing 10x optical zoom, 3.2-megapixel resolution, and a 30 frame-per-second movie mode with sound.

Optics and Resolution
The Dimage Z1 features a 3.2-megapixel resolution that produces images up to 2048 x 1536 pixels for photo-quality prints up to 8 x 10 inches and medium-quality enlargements up to 11 x 14 inches. Other resolution modes include 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480. The 10x optical zoom has a focal range of 5.8-58mm (equivalent to 38-380mm in 35mm photography). It also has a 4x digital zoom.

Movie Mode
With the Dimage Z1, you can capture TV-quality video (comparable to S-VHS) with sound. You can select from three resolution modes: 640 x 480 (VGA), 320 x 240, and 160 x 120. Video can be captures at 30 frames per second (fps) for flicker-free movies, or at 15 fps to maximize recording time. The length of your captured video is limited only by your memory card capacity.

The DiMAGE Z1 also boasts the fastest autofocusing in its class.

Super Camera.......2007-11-19

This Camera is super . I love this camera the 10X zoom takes you places you would not believe. I have taken this camera on vacation and get the best pictures I could ever ask for. A++++++++ Also because it uses 4 batteries the life of those batteries is quit long. I've gone as long as three days without having to change or charge batteries.

5 STARS CAMERA.......2007-01-17

No complaints, it's an excellent camera, after use this model you won't use the point and shoot cameras anymore.

I love this camera.......2006-04-15

This is such a great little camera! I've had it less than a year and I've taken some pretty nice pictures (you can see a few on "share your images".
The battery door is flimsy, hence the 4 stars, but my pictures have turned out very nice. Like most Americans, I wanted to upgrade just to have something more expensive and I'm glad I did but this is a nice compact piece that I can go just about anywhere with.
I loaned it to a coworker for her trip to Kyoto, Japan during the Cherry Blossom Festival, I'm sure her shots came out great and she'll be upgrading to digital:)
You'll like the easy use and, unlike another review, it's not difficult for others to master.
The price Amazon is offering is way too much. Look elsewhere, I got mine on eBay for $124.
oh and another 'con'! I lost the lens cap and they no longer make them:(

Great camera.......2006-04-02

I have two little beautiful girls and I love taking pictures of them. I have had the camera for two years now and it works great. I have had no problems with it. The thing I love the most is that I can record a small video (depends on the memory card) and send it to my mom and my family by e-mail instead of having to send them a video of the girls through the mail. When I download the video to my computer it looks like I had taped it with a camcorder. It looks great. It also takes beautiful pictures and a lot of people ask me where did I buy the camera because it looks expensive but it really isn't. I even have a picture of my girls in the pool where you can see the drops of water perfectly when they splashed. It was worth the money.

Never Again.......2006-02-04

I bought this camera a couple of years ago, and had problems with the auto focus. About a year ago the battery cover wouldn't close all the way due to a broken tab in the cheesy cover. Well I just sent it in to be repaired, and guess what they want $150 to fix it. That's almost half the price of the camera for a 10 cent item and probably all of 15 minutes to fix. I won't be getting it fixed (I'll tape it shut), and I won't ever buy another camera from Minolta. Let the buyer beware. Stay away from Minolta unless you like spending your money on repairs.

Great item for the price.......2006-04-01

I adore this camera. It is very user friendly, takes wonderful pics and the 10x optical zoom is fabulous! I bought this at Amazon.com from an Awesome Deal I found on DailyTool.com.

Camera is a good one, but beware all problems come with it.......2005-11-09

After reading all good reviews for this camera. I bought one too.

I made the order on Oct 28 and got the camera on Nov. 3. This is very good for free shipping.
There is no visible defect or scratch. It is a like open box new. That is good.
I did get 4 batteris which I did not expect. It is not rechargeable like Technical data says.
The camera can take a nice picture if light is good and object is not too close or too far away.
I will say for $150, the camera is a very good bargin if it is not for following issues.

1) Missing lens cap. Amazon suggested me to contact Konica Minolta first which I did. I was told by Minolta that the re-build cameras were shipped open box to Amazon and it is Amazon resposible for missing parts. I tried to contach Amazon three more times in emails. I have not got any response yet. I do not want to spend another $10 for the cap.
2) I only got a 8Meg card instead 16Meg.
3) After one day usage, the switch between viewfinder and LCD display is broken. For a sunny outside shotting, it is very hard to take a view using LCD display. This is not good.
4) The camera can not take a clear picture for very close ogject if light is not good.
5) It is very noise for lens to zoom. Also, it is very loose. I feel like that it is not reliable.

Overall, it is not a bad digital camera. However, the reliability is a real concern.
After I made the order, the next day, this product became "currently not available" at the Amazon. I guess I must get the last one which might explain why my package is so messed up. I am thinking about returning the camera if Amazon cannot sent one the lens cap with 20 days.

I recommend it........2005-10-29

For the price, it is a bargain if you want a camera which takea very nice pictures (see mine). This camera has a high quality lenses and some nice features. I recommend it, especially for under $150!

Would buy from this seller again!.......2005-10-16

The camera was shipped on the 12th and I rec'd it on the 14th. The delivery time was perfect. The quality of the camera is absolutely perfect! The accessories and the manuals are very helpful.

May be refurbished but I would not have known it........2005-09-06

I was excited about getting this camera. I have had one other digital camera but I wanted a bigger zoom. When I received it I was prepared for it to have scratchs or look used and it did not. It looked brand new. One thing I could not figure out is taking a picture inside and thinking there was enough light but there wasn't the pictures kept coming out blurry but then I realized I needed the flash and they turned out perfect. I also shopped around to find this deal and purchased it at Amazon for $80 less then overstock. Very impressed. Love my new camera.
