Cons: The flash is not automatic, the user must remember to pop it up. You get use to doing this over time though.

I recently got a Z6 as a gift, after using and abusing my Z2 for years. These cameras are sturdy, dependable, and easy to use.

from Yahoo.com Cons: The flash is not automatic, the user must remember to pop it up. You get use to doing this over time though. I recently got a Z6 as a gift, after using and abusing my Z2 for years. These cameras are sturdy, dependable, and easy to use. from Yahoo.com I keep the lens adaptor on all the time to protect the lens extension from being bumped, otherwise the lens gears can be pushed off the internal gears. This step only helps, it does not solve the fragileness of the cameras, the anti shake feature is delicate. Cost was $140 when Minolta repaired for flat fee; new cost for repairs is now $191. from Nextag.com Pros: Awesome in every way except.... Cons: If Windows crashes while your camera is connected, the Z6 is toast.... The Bottom Line: Would not buy anything from KonicaMinolta or Sony EVER AGAIN! from Shopping.com 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. from Amazon.com The Konica minolta Dimage Z6 is a totally amazing camera. The 12x zoom is incredible. from Amazon.com This year, we purchased a smaller camera that came with a built-in guide. I love my new camera. My Minolta is not going unused, however, because the guide on our new camera is teaching me how to adjust the settings on the minolta correctly so I get better shots. The bulk of the Minolta, however, prevents me from taking it everywhere I go. from Amazon.com This camera CANNOT and WILL NOT take low-light shots. You're lucky if it even locks focus in marginal light. Its irritating and poor work by Minolta engineers. from Amazon.com This camera CANNOT and WILL NOT take low-light shots. You're lucky if it even locks focus in marginal light. Its irritating and poor work by Minolta engineers. from Amazon.com I might as well have crumpled up 4 $100 bills and threw them away. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA. Finally after a very nasty letter to Minolta I received an apology letter but no offer to do anything different and a phone call from one of their "techies". He even admitted that the short internal battery life was a severe problem and many others had sent their cameras back for the same reason. from Amazon.com
