Product Description
Leave it to Konica Minolta to meet the niche for a digital-camera user who prefers a wide range optical zoom for superior imaging from objects near and far. This incredible 12x optical zoom delivers a focal range equivalent to a 35-420mm range on a 35mm camera lens. Combined with another 4x digital-zoom magnification, images can be amplified to appear as if they were shot with a 1680mm lens (35mm equivalent). The Z6 employs a high-performance lens system that supports CCDs with 6 million effective pixels for fine details. The optical lens system consists of 13 elements in 10 groups and includes two AD (anomalous dispersion) glass lenses and two aspheric elements, a construction that adds up to sharp, high-quality images. Multi-coating on 14 lens surfaces ensures minimal flaring and ghosting in all zoom ranges. The Z6 can capture still pictures as well as VGA grade video movie images. The Z6 incorporates Anti Shake technology to assure sharp pictures. Anti-Shake compensates to minimize the effect of camera shake, allowing photographers to shoot with shutter speeds four to eight times longer (2-3 stops) than on cameras without an Anti-Shake function. The Z6 can correct shaking without increasing shutter speed or raising ISO sensitivity, factors that increase image noise. The CCD-shift method doesn't require extra correction lenses like optical anti-shake systems, so the body remains compact and light. The Anti-Shake system is effective in correcting both the fine movement of pressing the shutter-release button and the larger and slower movements of the user's body. It takes movies in VGA size (640x480) at 30 frames per second for smooth video with sound rivaling TV images. Users can also choose from other movie image sizes. The Anti-Shake function also works with the movie function to give shake-free telephoto movies. The XR (Extended Recording) Movie function lets users record movie clips onto the SD memory

 Definately Buy This Camera! July 3, 2008
SPV (Texas)
I purchased this camera in October 2005, and have not been disappointed in any feature in the 2 1/2 years since. It takes amazing pictures, and all I do is point and shoot on the auto setting. I set it to the finest quality and largest file size, and can crop a small section out of a shot and then print out great quality prints in 11 X 14 (probably larger, but that's as large as I have done). I frequently have to argue with the employees at the photo departments that I am not illegally duplicating professional, copy-righted pictures! I love this camera, and highly recommed it!
Awesome Purchase !! I LOVE this camera ! June 22, 2008

Takes great pictures, easy to use, the different modes make this camera great for any setting. I use this for taking pics of everything, from high speed cars to flowers. Downloading is easy with the included software. Also, just to mention, I use regular AA batteries and they seem to last a long time. I used this camera for a 3 day car show, took hundreds of pics, downloaded and still had battery life left.
I Highly Recommend this Camera !! AA++
 Not the perfect cam even in its category June 17, 2008

I purchased this on impulse from a ritz after checking out its zoom power. Later read about its being the in-between of point and shoot and professional. It suited me fine as I have always been interested in learning about photography.
This camera has served me well in the 3 years I have owned it. People here have complained about its battery life. I solved my problem by having two sets of re-chargeable batteries. Another problem is that the colors dont come out all that lively but a free tool like picassa helped me out on that one. I realized how to work around poor focus in low light conditions - just developing good judgement of when you will be challenging it and try to finish taking your snaps before its too dark.
I tried out various manual modes and was excited to see the outcome even when I took pictures in very dark conditions (however it requires pretty still conditions). In my opinion the flash just ruins the photo by its uneven spread of light and I use it only when facing a light source
I have recently been to the Albany tulips show and I got some really beautiful pictures there. I even got my baby daughter's passport picture done using this even after everyone sternly warned me it might be rejected (they were amazed at its quality later - it had to happen, as I used the continuous shot feature to get just the right shots I needed out of several dozen)
However do check out if you can get a better deal for the price. At this time Amazon price is an unbelievable $599. I paid around $300 at the ritz 3 years back.
Movement probs. are a thing of the past! February 25, 2008

We have had this camera for a year now LOVE IT!!! We are actually getting ready to purchase a second for personal use due to the first one becomeing used mostly for unexpected business. My wife bought this camera having 2 Konica Minoltas in the past and wanting to upgrade(our friends love the hand me downs) :). It is perfect for everything, our boys are in every sport imaginable and we have yet to see one that is a problem getting awsome pictures, even when I'm not always in sports mode. We haven't even sat down and learned how to use all of the settings and still very impressed. We also raise a dogs and so taking high quality pictures to advertise is important. Now after people have seen my Wife's pictures we've have sold most of our dogs due to the amount of puppy pictures that she is taking for others in my area. She thought kids were hard, WOW can puppies move! Once again the Z6 delivers A+ pictures everytime!
 It's Dead February 13, 2008
yard wench (africahot, florida)
Thouroughly enjoyed this camera and was comfortable using all the features. The zoom was phenomenal. I had no real complaints about the camera until on a trip in Europe the camera just stopped working.
I did some reading first online to see if others had encountered the same malfunction, but found a multitude of other issues people were trying to solve. Some of these included error messages, blank LCD screens, etc. My particular problem is that the lens fails to extend, the shutter will not open, the only thing the camera will allow you to do is review previous images saved/stored on the SD memory card. It cannot take any additional photos, and yes new, fresh batteries were installed twice!
I think it's bizzare this camera just died within such a short time despite other cameras of lesser quality and durability continue to operate.
If anyone has some solution to the problem. Please don't hesitate to contact me through Amazon.
Thanks
