The Konica Minolta was reviewed at Trusted Reviews and here’s the verdict. “The Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 has an impressive specification, outstandingly good handling and above average performance, all for a very good price. There are few cameras that can match its zoom range, and the anti-shake system means that it’s usable even at full zoom. It would suit a birdwatcher, keen amateur photographer or anyone who appreciates good design.”

Konica Minolta’s 3 megapixel DiMAGE Z1 has had a new user review posted at Photographic Review and here is an excerpt. “Konica Minolta Z1, is a little bit out of date when I buy it from a whole sale center. The price is quite good, almost similar to that point-and-shot, but 10x zoom attracts me. With its many manual modes, ultra speed shooting, DVD quality video, smart appearance, my goodness. What a price!” [click to continue...]

Konica Minolta’s 8 megapixel Dimage X1 was reviewed by Camera UK and here is a summary. “Overall I was unconvinced by the charms of the Konica Minolta Dimage X1. On the plus side I liked the style. If its megapixels you are looking for then this camera certainly has them.

The 6.1 megapixel Konica Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 5D has been reviewed at CNET Australia and here’s their conclusion. “While the Dynax 5D may not appeal to every professional photographer for its boxy design and somewhat limited features, this entry-level dSLR presents yet another option for enthusiasts who wish to take their photography up to the next level, but not break their bank while doing so.”

The 6.1 megapixel Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D has been reviewed at Camera Labs and here’s their conclusion. “The 5D’s built-in Anti-Shake is a truly valuable feature which genuinely works. Like similar technologies it won’t perform miracles, but you really are looking at a two to three stop advantage when handholding. This allows you to handhold shots at exposures two to three times slower than normal, thereby allowing you to shoot under dimmer conditions without worrying about camera shake or being forced to increase the ISO and compromise quality. The fact you get this built-in for roughly the same price as rival budget digital SLRs is remarkable..”
