Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The DiMAGE Z5's 12X optical zoom and 4X digital zoom combine for a total 48X zoom. Konica-Minolta's proprietary CCD-shift Anti-Shake System-the same one used on the top-of-the-line Dynax 7D, Maxxum 7D, and DiMAGE A200 models-is particularly effective at such high zoom levels. It allows the photographer to shoot with shutter speeds four to eight times longer (2-3 stops) than when shooting without an Anti-Shake function. It also works to give steady, shake-free images of evening or other dimly lit shots, which are susceptible to shaking because of their slow shutter speed. This means significantly less shaking even without a flash or tripod.

To ensure that you don't miss those beautiful images, the DiMAGE Z5 has a Rapid AF that's the fastest autofocus for digital cameras with predictive focus control. Focusing in a mere 0.2 second (approx.) at wide angle and only 0.3 second (approx.) at telephoto, it's ideal for capturing any subject, moving or still.

The DiMAGE Z5 has everything you need to take high-quality pictures: 5.0-megapixel CCD, high-performance GT APO lens, and Konica Minolta's proprietary CxProcess" III image processing technology, which gives you images as beautiful as those you see with your own eyes.

The Z5 boasts a large, easy-to-view 2.0-inch LCD monitor. This makes navigating menus easier and allows you to see exactly what you're shooting.

In addition to Rapid AF, the DiMAGE Z5 has fast startup, short shutter release time lag, Ultra-High-Speed Continuous Advance, Progressive Capture, and Real Motion monitor for smooth display on the LCD. All of these combine to let the user capture any subject, no matter how fleeting, on the spur of the moment, and not miss a photo opportunity.

In addition to beautiful stills, the DiMAGE Z5 takes high-quality, high-resolution VGA movies that look as good as TV images. These movies are also shake-free thanks to the Anti-shake function.

The Z5 fits its 12X optical Mega Zoom and large 2.0-inch LCD into a compact body. With a design that's easy to hold and an LCD that's easy to view, you'll have a secure grip and a clear view to beautiful pictures.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Minolta Konica Z5, 19 Jul 2005
    By scimus "scimusic" (tamworth .staffs) - See all my reviews
    I bought this camera after much soul searching and sifting through internet reviews. I have been very pleased with the camera and the quality of the pictures it produces, which are superb. It takes family snaps which are bright and colourful but the features available, enable much more varied uses. The macro features on the camera are amazing. It has two setting, normal and super macro. The detail and image quality produced is simply superb. The video featres are good although the standard setting results in rather average results, the fine setting produces much better results but at the expense of file size. The zoom is superb and really separates this camera from "everyday models". Battery life is good and I have no complaints about the camera. The camera comes with a 16MB SD card which is totally useless - it holds about 3 or 4 pictures on the fine setting and about 9 on the standard setting. I would recommend you buy at least a 512MB card.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera!, 7 Sep 2005
    By M. Attfield (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)      
    Having been a dedicated SLR user for years, I eventually decided that digital cameras had improved enough to produce good enough results for my purposes, and I was not disappointed! This is an excellent camera, and even in the first month I am finding myself able to be more creative and experimental than I ever was with my SLR and try out new techniques. Image quality is excellent and the LCD is a good size for viewing, though in bright sunlight it is easier to use the EVF rather than the screen for composing pictures. The zoom capabilities are great and saves lugging a lot of heavy lenses around with me. I'm very pleased with this and am wondering if I will need to use my SLR again - and I've only just started to explore some of the features...

    5.0 out of 5 stars first 2 weeks, 20 Jul 2005
    By Mr. M. Paduch (Sussex) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    By reading many reviews on the web about Minolta Dimage's I kept an eye on it since begining of the last year. I wanted buy Z3, but it was worth to wait for this 5Megapixel + antishake and excellent optical zoom. Pictures are fantastic. Ideal for amateur (automatic) also photo fan because of its good manual functions.
