Strengths: Great zoom & shudder speed when taking pictures (which is why we chose this camera). Awesome clarity & doesn't eat battery power too badly.
Weakness: Wish it had a Dock I could charge it on instead of AA batteries (but the camera is still worth it). Wish the lens cover was internal also (but yet again the camera is still worth it!)Can you tell we love the camera?
Overall it's an awesome camera great speed, clarity & zoom. Plus if you shop around you can find the bigger memory cards pretty cheap. My hubby & I looked for over 6 months b/c he's soooo picky! We went to Wolf Camera & looked first but found if cheaper online. Anyhow we looked at it several times b/c we were trying to find something we might like better but we never did. The Z3 just came out but...
Strengths: 10 X optical zoom 4MP resolution good Movie quality with sound
Weakness: havent noticed any
I was looking for a camera with good optical zoom which would cost me lesser than 350$.Z2 seemed to be the best option. I have taken some test shots and it hasnt disappointed me so far.Picture quality is good.Movie recording is nice too.I was especially impressed with the sound quality during recording.I would definitely recommend this one.
Strengths: High Quality Pictures 10X Optical Zoom Intuitive Menu Easy Movie Editing 30fps Viewfinder Battery Life 250-300 pic Comfortable Design Full Manual or Auto Control Single Priority Manual Control
Weakness: Flimsy Memory Card Slot Cover Somewhat Large Lens Cover (Included) is not Internal Difficult to take indoor pictures without flash Telephoto shots are often blurry with longer exposures
This is a great camera. At 4 megapixels with an excellent lens, it takes beautiful pictures. The 10X Optical Zoom is great with shorter exposures, but in darker situations the pictures often turn out blurry due to long exposure times. The camera is large, but easy to hold, so the size only matters when you're carrying it around--it's hard to notice it while you're taking pictures! The three point...
Strengths: 10x zoom and very quick AF, easy menu, wide and clear LCD screen
Weakness: kinda bulky (because of the 10x zoom, flip side of the #1 strength...), not the best in low-light conditions
I had tried the Z1 few months ago and was quite satisfied. I decided to buy this one since its price is now what the Z1's was 6 months ago. I think they improved the AF speed and also the "rattling" from the zoom (I felt for the Z1 that the zoom was shaking quite a bit in the body...). I was surprised by the clarity of the shot of the license plate of the car parked in the street from the 5th...
Strengths: Feature-packed. Powerful zoom. Excellent value.
Weakness: Power switch easy to bump ON. No integrated lens cap. Maybe too complicated for novices.
My first digital camera bought two years ago was a simple, point&shoot, 2MP, no optical zoom, and my wife has grown very comfortable with it. This Z2 is my new "super-duper toy" with features comparable to my SLR, and, thus far, I am very pleased with its capabilities. While I have been thrilled to try out this new feature or that, my wife is a bit intimidated by all the choices, so it is...
Strengths: Excellent zoom capability.
Weakness: Jury out on performance with NiMH batteries. Bulkier than most. Manual flash operation (must flip it open to fire).
While the Konica-Minolta Z2 is bulkier than most digital still cameras, the zoom function is downright phenomenal. I've used it for both still and action photography. In sports mode, the zoom catches things I didn't think possible with anything but an analog camera with a >= 200mm telephoto. I immediately bought a 256mb SD card - the provided 16mb card won't get you very far on your first photo...
Strengths: this camera has a great feel in your hands. it takes AA batteries (nimh are best)so you can get batteries anywhere if yours are shot. i picked this camera up and started using it right away! awesome!
Weakness: i haven't found any yet. it has sooo many options, etc., that i just can't say enough about this camera.
this camera is the greatest. 4mp with 10x optical zoom, AA batteries, shoots great video (and more than just 30 sec. videos!) it feels sturdy, has a great hold for the right hand, will flip pictures in the viewfinder so you don't have to keep turning your head. tells you how much time you can video. the sound is great. EVERYTHING can be adjusted, if you read the manual. it's just the best,...
Strengths: power zoom, rapid autofocus, ease of use, cool design,...
Weakness: big size
Konica Minolta Dimage Z2 is the best digital camera around! Compared to most compact digital cameras, its portability is not good. Considering the 10X power zoom, it can't be small, though. Except its size, I just love this camera!! I usually take pictures of my 3 year old son, and its surprisingly rapid autofocus is so good! It's like 35mm film camera!! And the 10x zoom is the best. I don't even...
Strengths: clarity of picture quality, zoom, weight (very lightweight), handability, user friendly
Weakness: small LCD viewing screen
Excellent usability, very light weight, and extremely easy to use. I've owned a Kodak, and this Dimage is light-years ahead of the pack. Good pricing for a 10X optical zoom also. I love the camera.

With a long zoom, lots of features, and an attractive price, Minolta's Z1 was one of the most popular digicams on the entire IR site last year. This year, Konica Minolta has updated the design with a 4-megapixel CCD, improved movie modes, and a host of other more minor enhancements. The resulting DiMAGE Z2 is once again a value leader in the long-zoom market, with a surprising range of features...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z2 4 Megapixel Bridge Camera
Strengths: easy to use extensive manual controls and able to figure out without manual great low-light pictures with flash off uses AA batteries great value
Weakness: doesn't come with rechargable (NiMH) batteries or AC adapter
This is my first digital camera and I love it. I chose this one because of the 10x optical zoom, the extensive manual features, and its great value. The 30fps video is very smooth, but the audio didn't line up so well the one time I tried it. Most features are incredibly easy to figure out without the manual. The manual is also easy to use and in depth. The software seems good and easy to use. SD...
