Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z6 review

This gets stable 4. It is my main camera for about 12000 frames. Has one
programmable button. Good zoom. Virtually noise free at ISO50 (lowest
setting). Not bad anti-shake. Looks heavy and pro for newbies. 52mm adapter
ring can be bought to mount filters and a wide-angle converter. Has external
flash hot-shoe. Good/strong built-in flash. Raises high, for virtually red-eye free
shots. Has EVF for bright sun days. EVF has diopter correction. Battery
compartment closed tight. Have bought original 0.75x wide-angle converter,
which gives 26mm equivalent lens.

Problems:

ISO over 100... green/red/blue noise.
Needs too much menu walk to change settings with only one programmable
button. Not very long battery time (about 200 shots). EVF has low resolution,
cant see if there is focus. EVF/LCD/photo-browse switch is in the form of a
lever, and positioned in
bad place, always switches by touching clothes when camera on the neck.
Video quality/resolution low. Memory slot door can be broken easily, and opens
quite often by touching clothes.
