Dimage Z20
Released in 2005 Konica Minolta Dimage Z20 is the ultimate choice for beginner who want to buy digital camera. It has a maximum resolution of 5 megapixels makes it a digital camera which promises the best quality of photo. It has optical zoom of 8X and digital zoom of 4X which give you a total of 32X zooming capability suitable for bird sighting and sports event. Unlike other conventional digital camera in the market which has a slow startup this device claimed it has a fast startup which is important especially when it comes to emergency situation and you don't have to wait for the stand by. It uses 4 AA bateries but with a low consumption of energy which means you are able to use it for about two days without turning off the camera. Thanks to its rapid autofocus you won't need to wait long for the focus box to turn red before you took a photo.
Have you been in a situation where something moving so fast that when you take its photo with your
compact digital camera it become blurry. Now the Dimage has a solution for that problem. By switching the mode to sport mode you are able to take a still photo without any blurr effect. Or if you are an advance user you can simply switch to M or S which will enable you to select the proper shutter speed. Now you are able to take a still picture where you can see the object that you took clearly. If you have one of this camera, here is a simple experiment for you. First you switch to S mode then select shutter speed at about 1/600 (use flash if the background is dim). Then you take a picture of your fan, you will be able to see each blade clearly. This won't let you down on your son's school sports day. This camera has the shutter speed range from 4s to 1/2000s. Use a low shutter speed to take photo in dark while use a higher shutter speed in bright condition or when you want to take a photo of fast moving object.
For people like me who is not a proffesional photographer is able to tell the different between this camera and conventional compact digital camera. This camera has a super macro mode which able to take photo as near as 1cm. Eventhough not many of us use such mode while taking photo but this feature allow us to take brilliant photo of close up flowers, insect, and so on. Apart from that its user friendly features will allow you to take stunning photos. Every button and every feature are easily accessible all that is just by the mean of a touch. Although it does not has anti-shake feature like other camera in the market but that is easily solve when you know how to use its shutter speed, exposure and aperture. Once you master the three of it, hardly any condition will be a problem to you. What i notice when I bought this camera is that it has a lower maximum iso sensitivity than the previous camera. Then I realise that it is probably reduced to reduce noise in the photo. Higher iso sensitivity will enable you to take photo in darker condition but the problem is it will cause noises in the photo that you took.
It has a sleek design though bulky. Its viewfinder is actualy the lcd screen which flips back to give the activate the viewfinder. It is made from plastic casing which makes it extremely light of its kind. This camera comes with a bag and standard accesories.
Lets talk about its disadvantages. First thing is its size, it is too big for most of us and cannot be kept in the pocket unlike compact digital camera. This is because it is a slr camera which stand for single lens refracting camera. Compact digital camera uses multiple lens which can be adjust to produce zooming. Secondly it has now anti-shake but as I mentioned early it can be solved. Thirdly, you cannot record movie with sound. For that reason most of people do not choose the camera. What a waste!!! Then the lens cap is not tighten to the camera and easily lost.
Although it is not the latest and the most advanced camera in the market but this camera is the best in terms of user frienly, quality, and feature. It is the platform for user who wish to become a proffesional photographer. It allow user to learn and expose user to the use of slr type camera.
Note: Konica Minolta has ceased its camera business on March 31,2006. Sony corp will provide customers service for Konica Minolta customer.
