Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 review

I bought this camera in Dec 05, and produced quality pictures in a dificult environment , e.g. skying with minus 15°c or colder conditions. The manual flash opening didn't bother me , nor the battery life, you need to buy high power rechargeable batteries aside anyway. I found the AF incapable of working with the zoom in low light conditions, very annoying. Also difficulty to focus in macro, this AF problems make the shot to shot even slower.

Problems:

The lower side of the carter on the back of the camera, covering the screen and viewing selection, popped out due to a rupture of the thin plastic carter attached to a metal hook behind . It's holding only by the 2 screws at the top . Perhaps due to my skiing. But I abused previous cameras much more, without invalidating rupture. So this one is fragile . Overall it may be cheaper but you (barely) get the value for the money.
