not worth the money
This camera is so out-dated. You can get point and shoots that have the attributes this camera does.

Workhorse Digital Camera
We are forensic structural engineers and architects and have three of these cameras. The zoom capability is great for our work, since we can get closeups from a distance, eliminating the need to use tall ladders. On each of our projects, we take anywhere from 25 to 100 photos and we are doing over 200 projects a year. The only thing that can make this camera better would be a built-in rechargeable battery. Between the 3 cameras, we use a lot of AA batteries,, but we are obtaining the batteries at a discounted price. Overall, we recommend this camera, especially if you need a great zoom.

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.

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
