Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20
Review Date: April 21st 2005
Introduction
The Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20 is an ultra-zoom digital camera that promises a lot in exchange for a relatively small amount of money. Based around a 5 megapixel CCD sensor and an 8x zoom lens that is equivalent to 36-290mm on a 35mm camera, the Konica Minolta Z20 has an amazing list of advanced features that make you look twice at its budget price-tag. The Konica Minolta Z20 has a very fast start-up time of around 0.5 second, semi-automatic and manual exposure modes, futuristic body design, rapid autofocus and a macro mode that that lets you focus as close as 1cm from your subject. Six months ago I enthusiastically reviewed the Z20's predecessor, the 3 megapixel
DiMAGE Z10. Can the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20 maintain the same high standards that the Z10 set? Carry on reading to discover the answer.
