Konica Minolta DiMage Z5 Review from PC Magazine
PC Magazine reviews the Konica Minolta DiMage Z5 and this camera receives 3.5 stars:
“The Konica Minolta Dimage Z5 has a striking design, balanced body, and rugged feel. With its 2-inch LCD screen and electronic viewfinder, you’re able to see subjects in nearly any shooting situation, and the 12X optical zoom brings you close to the action.
The Z5 is a 5MP camera that features a 5.83- to 69.9-mm zoom or, in 35-mm equivalent, a 35- to 420-mm zoom range, with a wide f-stop range of f/2.8 to f/4.5.
On our tests, the simulated daylight image showed very little noise, excellent color matching, and very good color saturation. The image was crisp and sharp, with deep blacks, and we found very little fringing or noticeable aberrations. The shot was a bit underexposed, but overall the exposure was balanced, so it would probably be easy to correct in an editing program.”
Bottom line:
The Konica Minolta DiMage Z5 is a good buy with some excellent features, such as 12X optical zoom, effective image stabilization, and the ability to zoom during video shooting.
