"i purchased a z3 and when it failed under warranty i found that sony now handles this camera as minolta is out of the camera business. dealing with sony was hassle free and a replacement camera came within a week. from Overstock.com "i purchased a z3 and when it failed under warranty i found that sony now handles this camera as minolta is out of the camera business. dealing with sony was hassle free and a replacement camera came within a week. from Overstock.com i purchased a z3 and when it failed under warranty i found that sony now handles this camera as minolta is out of the camera business. dealing with sony was hassle free and a replacement camera came within a week. from Overstock.com "Be very careful when you purchase this item. I bought this in April and in June the lens would no longer work. i took it to our local camera store and they told me that Konica Minolta was disolved into Sony and it would be $250 to get it fixed. I liked the camera so I agreed to pay it. from Overstock.com "Be very careful when you purchase this item.

I liked the camera so I agreed to pay it. from Overstock.com I purchased this Dimage Z3 Digital Camera as a replacement for an identical one I had that got damaged beyond repair. My original had gone to places as far reaching as Churchill ,Canada to see the Polar Bears, and Africa on safari. from Amazon.com Nor have we experienced any descrepancy in the viewfinder image quality versus the actual image quality. It is very user-friendly and the design is very comfortable, and I like the way it looks. The fact that this camera has been discontinued along with all Konica Cameras was a bit of a concern, but they farmed the customer support out to sony so you would not be completely left hanging if something did go wrong. But with any electronic product it is a crap shoot that you will never have to use their horrible customer service. from Amazon.com One day it just stopped working. Wouldn't turn on. It's currently at Minolta to be fixed to the tune of $160. Personally I find this unacceptable. from Amazon.com Especially annoying with the camera is with a small group of people at relatively same range of distance......most of them are out of focus (and, yes, I did focus on the one at mid-range. The company at 47th street disregarded my request for a new operator's manual and suggested I get one through Google......fine, but I couldn't download it onto a disc with my limited features on my computer! Writing to Konika Minolta in New Jersey over three months ago brought no satisfaction from them, either. Incidentally, I misplaced the operator's manual while returning from a painting trip to Florence, Italy the early part of October 2005. from Amazon.com
