Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 review

It is probably a rather good value for money first camera, but if it is your second and you are a bit experienced you might consider eg. an equivalent canon or sony. I found several issues and intend to return my device.

Problems:

1) The viewfinder is poor and has to be adjusted to the bottom at least on my device and on the device they had at the konicaminolta support. 2) Broad daylight images are ok, but other tend to obtain cyan (no zoom) turning to magenta (zoom) stick. 3) The auto mode is tired as the environment light decreases and to me the image quality rapidly felt like a 3 or 4 Mpix extrapolated. 4) The zoom is very insensitive in conjunction with the auto mode problems. It runs at high speed and is hard to fine adjust. 5) I had to shut down the antishake since it was easier to determine if the shot would success. It occasionally locked and showed ok, but the photos were blurred. 7) The memory card door opens easily accidentally.
