A little "frail"

This camera is overall good buy for the price, however, it feels like it is going to break apart in my hands. The body is very poorly constructed, made out of cheap plastic. The black grip from the picture looks as if it is rubber, but...no. It is cheap plastic like the rest of it. Too bad, with a little extra "beef" it could be a bargain....

Amazing for the price

I got it refurbished from ubid for only 179. It arrived in new condition, fully functional. for that funny price I could have maybe gotten a funny pocket camera. Although I must admit I considered getting the panasonic lz2 with the 6x zoom. They are both great buys but if you want something more advanced the this is the way to go....

A digital slr for less

I've owned the Konica Minolta Dimage Z2 for about a year and a half.The selling point was the slr at a price I could afford.In the past I shot with a 35mm, and swore by them against digital.This camera changed my tune.The quality is there, and the manual features are great.It can be a bit quirky to work the controls.What I didn't like, was the only accessory listed was the wide angle lens attachment.I wanted to use filters.I have a ton of Cokins.Much to my amazment and joy, there is an attachment...

Point - Click - Download

This has to be the most "out of the box" camera I have ever owned.I picked this camera up for dirt cheap and really wanted a Canon Digital Rebel for $600 more.I had this camera taking stunning photo's in about 15 minutes.If you need something for eBay auctions, or want to dabble in digital photography before a major purchase on a high end SLR, this is the one to go with.I would reccomend a 512 SD card, since this comes with 16 MB only.The best part of this camera, is the vivid colors on the LCD...

Especially good for portraits

I have had my Konica Minolta Dimage Z2 for a year. I have taken about 3000 pictures in varying conditions. I mostly use it to take pictures of people, in particular of my family. The optical zoom comes is very handy for that. It makes it possible to take pictures at a distance. The subjects are less likely to notice that you are taking a picture and as a result they look more natural and relaxed.My main reasons for buying this camera were:* SLR-style camera,* huge optical zoom range,* adequate resolution...
