Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z2 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 6.25 (out of 10)
The original DiMAGE Z1 was clearly one of the best long-zoom digicam bargains on the market, a fact that no doubt contributed to its being one of the most popular cameras on the entire IR site last year. The Z2 carries on in that tradition, adding a higher-resolution CCD chip, some expanded continuous shooting and movie mode options, and a few other more minor enhancements, while still selling at about the same price as the Z1 did last year.

| Konica Minolta's new DiMAGE Z2 is the 4-megapixel version of the successful DiMAGE Z1. Externally, the 2 models are very similar, both have a 10X optical zoom, and both have a silver plastic shell. The Z2 however, reflects the amalgamation of the Konica and Minolta companies and is banded as such. |

| Announced in February 2004 at the PMA exhibition in Las Vegas, the Dimage Z2 is a direct replacement for the popular Z1, and retains that camera's 'interesting' looks and basic features, adding an all-new APO GT lens, upping the pixel count from 3 to 4 million pixels and improving focus and movie performance. The Dimage Z2 currently sits in the middle of Konica Minolta's 'super zoom' range, above the entry-level Dimage Z10 and below the image-stabilized, 12x zoom Dimage Z3. In an increasingly crowded big-zoom compact market the Z2 takes on similarly specified models from Canon, Olympus and Panasonic, and though it has bags of features and is keenly-priced, it does lack the must-have feature du jour; image stabilization. . . . . |

| Product Preview (beta): The Konica Minolta Dimage Z2 is a 4-megapixel, prosumer digital camera. Compared to other prosumer cameras on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $395. Includes ArcSoft VideoImpression software. |
