Buying a camera through Amazon
This reveiw particularly concerns Australians. I purchased a Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 through Amazon because 1) My Z2 was accidentally damaged and QBE insurance would only pay me the written down value. That value corresponded to a camera offered by QBE that was inferior to my Z2.Traps for young beginners! I declined the QBE offer and elected instead to find a Konica Minolta elsewhere and pay any 'overcharge".2)Konica Minolta is no longer available in Australia because a Japanese company has bought them out and replaced the KM with their own brand. Elsewhere in the world Konica Minolta is still available.The Dimage series is a top camera for the amateur in my opinion,and I have had consistently good results from the Z2
I found the later model Z3 (anti-shake)on Amazon and by paying a few dollars above the insurance offer (basically the cost of airfreight and insurance) found I could land the Z3 here within my budget.Despite the fact that Amazon indicates on several of their sites that they do not undertake the forwarding of cameras internationally, they do point out that although 'they' dont, some of their suppliers do. In fact that is what happened. I bought through Amazons' supplier...'Electronics Club'. I bought the camera on Friday Western Australian time and followed its progress with the UPS tracking system over the weekend. It was quite a journey, but the transhipment from one aircraft to another could not be faulted. Rarely more than a few hours via US West Coast then Canada,Korea,Hongkong,Philippines,Singapore and finally Perth in Western Australia. I received the camera in pristine condition at my front door from UPS on Tueday morning. The five day service door to door from one side of the globe to the other was phenomenal. Well done to UPS, to Amazon, Electronics Club and your contractors.
Al Lewins.

great for the right price
i bought this camera used for $100 (in perfect condition other than some scratches on the grips), and for that price, it's absolutely great. others have documented some drawbacks (some noise; some problems in low light conditions, etc.); i agree with some of these faults- but you just can't buy anything of this quality for $100!

Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 Digital Camera
I purchased this Dimage Z3 Digital Camera as a replacement for an identical one I had that got damaged beyond repair. My original had gone to places as far reaching as Churchill ,Canada to see the Polar Bears, and Africa on safari. The photos I have taken have been really excellent and often as good, or better, than some taken with much more expensive SLR cameras. The anti- shake technology works very well. I'm not a pro, but this camera makes me look like one.Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 4MP Digital Camera with Anti Shake 12x Optical Zoom

Good for a grab-and-go
The Z3 is a great little camera; I bought it 3-4 years ago to tide me over until DSLRs came into my price range (which they did a couple of years before I had expected). Still I find the Z3 is a handy grab-and-go camera when I don't want to be bothered with my DSLR (maybe when I get an 18-250 lens for my DSLR the Z3 will be retired---maybe). I also like the ability to use it as a video camera, though the duration that will fit on the SD cards is not all that long.
The long zoom range (35mm equivalent of 35-420) makes it an incredibly versatile camera and with the anti-shake feature the telephoto range is usable. The camera provides a range of manual adjustments that rival those found on SLRs. The image quality is good. If the camera had an optical viewfinder rather than an EVF I would rate it 5 stars (the best that there is for its niche); as it is the EVF makes it hard to see the fine details in a shot sometimes. I don't use the LCD on the back for shooting since I don't like taking pictures with the camera at arms reach.
