Poor Workmen blame their tools..........2006-06-10
This is a fine camera with great functionality. The limitation in taking good photographs, as with all cameras, is the ability of the photographer. The 5MP sensor is enough to produce fine reprints and the 12X Optical Zoom gives you the option to focus on exactly what you want - Read the 5 Star reviews - they're more accurate than the negative one below!
Very poor image quality.......2005-11-16
If you're looking for a camera with a long optical zoom, do not buy the Dimage Z5.
This camera has some very nice functionality, but in nearly every situation the image quality disappoints.
The Anti-shake system seems to have no affect whatsoever. Even with a very steady hand and in bright daylight conditions, all pictures taken at the maximum 12X zoom are blurred. This is even more evident when shooting in low light situations. Having thoroughly tested the zoom, I think it is safe to say that anything over 6X zoom or above will result in a blurred image.
When shooting anywhere except in bright sunlight, for example indoors or at night, the amount of noise visible in every shot makes this camera completely unusable. Even in bright conditions, the noise is very visible and all pics tend to be grainy and in dark areas of the image noise is still evident. All pics are over-soft and require sharpening in Photoshop (or similar) afterwards.
When shooting indoors or at night, the flash does not provide enough light to properly expose the image. You will notice that all picture taken in these conditions are underexposed, grainy (noise) and either out of focus or blurred.
Having now taken several thousand pictures with this camera in nearly all photographic situations, here is an approximate guide to the results:
40% of pictures completely unusable
40% of pictures unsatisfactory
20% of pictures acceptable (nearly always taken in bright sunlight with no zoom)
0% of picture completely satisfactory
I would not recommend that anyone buys the Konica Minolta Dimage Z5 as you will be disappointed with the results.
Excellent Camera!.......2005-09-07
Having been a dedicated SLR user for years, I eventually decided that digital cameras had improved enough to produce good enough results for my purposes, and I was not disappointed! This is an excellent camera, and even in the first month I am finding myself able to be more creative and experimental than I ever was with my SLR and try out new techniques. Image quality is excellent and the LCD is a good size for viewing, though in bright sunlight it is easier to use the EVF rather than the screen for composing pictures. The zoom capabilities are great and saves lugging a lot of heavy lenses around with me. I'm very pleased with this and am wondering if I will need to use my SLR again - and I've only just started to explore some of the features...
first 2 weeks.......2005-07-20
By reading many reviews on the web about Minolta Dimage's I kept an eye on it since begining of the last year. I wanted buy Z3, but it was worth to wait for this 5Megapixel + antishake and excellent optical zoom. Pictures are fantastic. Ideal for amateur (automatic) also photo fan because of its good manual functions.
Minolta Konica Z5.......2005-07-19
I bought this camera after much soul searching and sifting through internet reviews. I have been very pleased with the camera and the quality of the pictures it produces, which are superb. It takes family snaps which are bright and colourful but the features available, enable much more varied uses. The macro features on the camera are amazing. It has two setting, normal and super macro. The detail and image quality produced is simply superb. The video featres are good although the standard setting results in rather average results, the fine setting produces much better results but at the expense of file size. The zoom is superb and really separates this camera from "everyday models". Battery life is good and I have no complaints about the camera. The camera comes with a 16MB SD card which is totally useless - it holds about 3 or 4 pictures on the fine setting and about 9 on the standard setting. I would recommend you buy at least a 512MB card.

Dimage Pictures.......2007-10-26
Its a wonderful camera for the price. It has a large zoom and anti shake to give very clear pictures.
I have had mine for two years and would not change it.
