Konica Minolta Dimage Z6

Konica Minolta's Z6 combines innovative design with an impressive specification. Can the quality of its output match up?

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 Review and Where to Find the Best Prices. Six megapixels and a 12x optical zoom lens make this a super zoom digital camera. It also comes with a comprehensive set of manual exposure controls.

Zoom available in movie mode ; Image stabilisation

Colour reproduction ; Shutter lag

The Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 is up against some pretty stiff competition. There are many good digital cameras with long zoom lenses to choose from. In my opinion this one falls some way short of the standard set elsewhere.

Review of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 - Digital SLR Reviews

The Z6 is its follow-up to the Z5 and the major difference is - you've guessed it - the addition of an extra megapixel.

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 reviewed

Given Konica Minolta's recent decision to cut back on its consumer digicam business, the Dimage Z6 may well be the last model in the company's long-running ultra-zoom compact line. If that's the case, judging from the review the model ...

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 Point-and-Shoot

For getting close to the action with your camera, a longer zoom is better. And the Konica Minolta DiMage Z6 has the look of a winner in that respect: Its 12X optical zoom is longer than most. And at a street price of $400, the DiMage Z6 is pretty cheap...

Powerful 12x zoom Low price

Noticeable shutter lag Photos looked noisy with fuzzy details

All of these issues limit the DiMage Z6's appeal. It's undeniably a step up from a point-and-shoot (and it doesn't cost much more than many of them), and the long zoom is a nice feature. But if you're after advanced features, you'll soon find that you...

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6

12X zoom lens; Anti-Shake image stabilization; broad feature set; extremely close macro focus; flexible continuous-shooting modes; compact SLR-style body.

Subpar EVF; less-than-stellar photo quality; movie mode downgraded to 320x240 resolution.

Compact and affordable, the image-stabilized megazoom Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 delivers a solid feature set. Finicky photographers may take issue with its image quality, though.

Konica Minolta Dimage Z6

Consumers are spoilt for choice in the ever-growing market of megazoomers.

12X zoom lens ; Anti-Shake image stabilisation ; Broad feature set ; Extremely close macro focus ; Flexible continuous-shooting modes ; Compact SLR-style body

Subpar EVF ; Less-than-stellar photo quality ; Movie mode downgraded to 320x240 resolution

At the Z6's maximum ISO sensitivity of 320, noise levels should be lower than they are; however, images appeared fairly clean at IS0 100 and less. We noticed little purple fringing at wider focal lengths, but this aberration became more visible when we...

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z6 review

Konica Minolta enhanced their series Megazoom digital cameras with the new 6 Megapixel Konica Minolta Z6. Konica Minolta seem to be getting a liking for it, their series of Megazoom cameras have grown to several generations now. The introduction of the...

The Konica Minolta Z6 is the successor of the Z5. Besides an increase of resolution from 5 to 6 Megapixels and an improved energy consumption there is not much more new on it other than the fact that it is a logical step for Konica Minolta to enter the...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 Digital Camera Review

The design of this camera is very different than the rest of the cameras in it's range. If you thought that a SLR-like ultra zoom digicam can not look fancy and stylish, you are wrong. The round forms of the design do not interfere with the camera...
