Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z10 review at imaging resource

Posted by Steve on 29th November 2005

konica minolta dimage z10  reviewImaging resource has posted a review of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z10 digital camera.

The reviewer’s essential comments:
“If Konica Minolta could just dial down the contrast and color saturation a notch or two, and tighten up exposure control, the Z10 would be a real winner […].
If high contrast and very bright color fit your personal photo preferences, the Z10’s excellent lens, exceptional battery life, and low cost could make it your ideal camera.”



Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 review at imaging resource

Posted by Steve on 29th November 2005

konica minolta dimage z5  reviewA review of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 digital camera has been published at http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/Z5/Z5A.HTM.

Here is part of the review conclusion:
“[…] Its anti-shake greatly extends the utility of its long zoom lens […].
[…] At print sizes of 5×7 and below, the [image] noise is quite acceptable, and at 4×6 print sizes, it entirely ceases to be an issue.
All in all, the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 offers a tremendous amount of “bang for the buck,” packing a long zoom lens, fast shutter response, anti-shake technology, and a host of “enthusiast” features into a compact package at an affordable price point. If you’re in the market for a long-zoom digital camera with a wealth of features, the Konica Minolta Z5 should be on your short list of candidates.”

minolta dimage z3  reviewThe Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 digital camera has been reviewed at imaging resource.

The reviewer’s opinion:
“[…] An impressive 12x optical zoom lens and new Anti-Shake feature that reduces blurring from minor camera movement. The difference it makes in practical usability of a long-zoom digicam like the Z3 is quite amazing.
While I’d like to see just a bit higher color saturation, the DiMAGE is a really enjoyable camera to use, absolutely recommended for those in the long-zoom market, and definitely a Dave’s Pick.”

“The lens still has the low distortion and consistent sharpness from corner to corner that I liked so much in the Z1 […].

Definitely recommended for those in the long-zoom market, and definitely a Dave’s Pick.”

konica minolta dimage X31  reviewThe Konica Minolta DiMAGE X31 digital camera has been reviewed at imaging resource.

Here is part of the review conclusion:
“The DiMAGE X31, while sacrificing a few features and some low light capability to keep the cost down, offers a capable, subcompact digicam at a street price as low as $150.
[…] The X31’s compact size, no-nonsense feature set, and novice-friendly menu interface make the it a great “take anywhere” camera, appealing to non-techies as well as enthusiasts.
[…] For daylight shooting, it’s hard to beat its combination of ease of use, compact size, good color, and low cost.”



Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 review at imaging resource

Posted by Steve on 29th November 2005

konica minolta dimage x1  reviewA review of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 digital camera has been published at imaging resource.

Here is an extract of the review conclusion:
“Its image quality is good, with a much better than average lens for a subcompact camera, very accurate color, and loads of resolution.
The single biggest weakness we found in the X1 was its sluggish performance […].
Bottom line, a stylish little pocket camera that snaps nice pictures, and sporting a very welcome anti-shake feature, but best suited to rather leisurely shooting situations.”



Konica Minolta DiMAGE G600 review at imaging resource

Posted by Steve on 29th November 2005

konica minolta dimage G600  reviewImaging resource has reviewed the Konica Minolta DiMAGE G600 digital camera.

Here is an extract of the review results:
“Accepting both Memory Sticks […] and SD memory cards, the G600 could be a good choice for people with multiple electronic gadgets that they’d like to share memory cards between.
The G600’s simple user interface should appeal to a wide audience […].
The LCD is unusually bright, with excellent contrast and daylight viewability. All in all, a nice little digicam. […] I consider the G600 good enough to be made a Dave’s Pick.”



Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 review at imaging resource

Posted by Steve on 29th November 2005

konica minolta dimage a200  reviewA review of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 digital camera has been posted at imaging resource.

Here is part of the review conclusion:
“The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 was easily a Dave’s Pick, capitalizing on fast shutter-lag, excellent exposure and creative control options, and an excellent image stabilization system. I see many of the same excellent features that I praised on the A2 […].
[…] The bottom line is that the Konica Minolta A200 is an 8-megapixel, 7x zoom, anti-shake-equipped digital camera that sells for a lot less than any competing model with the same attributes.”



Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 review at imaging resource

Posted by Steve on 29th November 2005

minolta dimage a2  reviewA review of the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 digital camera is available at imaging resource.

Here is the review conclusion:
“The A2 shows some of the lowest image-noise figures of any of the current 8-megapixel models […]
Its shutter lag is arguably the fastest on the market […] and its shot to shot cycle times are the fastest of any 8-megapixel prosumer camera, bar none.
Another area in which the A2 rises above the competition is in its anti-shake image stabilization system.
Taken as a package, the Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 is tough to beat […].
Highly recommended.”
