Re: And then Z5 appeared....

I have the Z6, a slight update to the Z5 (6 MP vs 5). It's a nice shape, easy to hold, easy to use. To be honest though, since I got my Dimage A200 it has gathered dust. Not sure why but I just like the A200 a whole lot better. You may find the same with your A2.

If you just want to collect a range of Dimage cameras, I guess it's worth having, and $45 is not a fortune (though my Z6 was half that).

I bought a few of the Z range of cameras several years ago , 8-10 years ago maybe ...

They seem to have raised in value since as I didn't pay more than about £15 for mine , boxed with bits etc .

Nice little camera to play around with but I do prefer my a200 .

I had last week off work and got out into the Yorkshire Dales , between that and a film camera it got the most use as it for nicely under my coat to protect it from the rain !

Having had a good battery in it for a while this last month or so seems to have brought the internal battery / capacitor back to life .

Now when I change batteries the date and other settings are retained !

I did notice the main batteries don't get anywhere near as many shots as they used to .

I don't know if they need conditioning ( I.e used , charged , discharged etc ) or replacing yet .

I'll see how they get on , only got about 50 shots out one of them .
