I’ve previously owned this camera however it needed repair. Unable to obtain parts, I sought another like it. Even at 5 megapixels, the lens is higher quality producing cropped zoomed photos that are still sharp and not grainy. Even with AA batteries (reason for 4 vs 5 stars) vs newer rechargeable it is worth it and beats my iPhone 11. My concern was the retailer...the camera was shipped with batteries in. The camera arrived with lens open. A bit more caution needs to be taken with packaging and shipping by this retailer.

My camera came with an SD card and that is the only SD card that will work in it. I do not want to erase all my photos each time. The photo quality is not all that clear. I am afraid this will be of little use to me. I have not received the contract for a years warranty that I paid for.

This is my second Z series KM camera and the fourth minolta digital camera I've owned. The Z10 I had took better pictures than any digital camera I have ever had or even tried from friends, I figured since I could get a used one fairly reasonable, I'd upgrade. The Z5 definately looks and feels like an upgrade. Solid and well made. However the much reported noise problem of the Z6, less complained about in the Z5, is a factual reality. How much it will affect your use of this camera is iffy. Taking pictures outdoors in deeper zoom settings around sundown, it is readily apparant and if that's all I used the camera for I'd be very disappointed. However in good daylight it's not a factor at all, and indoor with flash the results are great. Like many point and shoots, you're best off not second guessing the camera's abilities are worse than yours, and leaving it on auto gets me the best shots nearly all the time. So I can't help but think that most people complaining about noise may be fiddling too much with manual settings and while other cameras are more forgiving, this one's following your commands to the letter so to speak and giving you the results you asked for. The anti-shake works well. I actually upgraded from two cameras to two newer cameras, the KM Z series as described here, and from a Nikon S4 to a Nikon S10. I was surprised to find the real winner was the S10-I really am impressed by the S10's image performance- though it doesn't seem to be the solid piece in your hand the Z5 does. So the noise is the only thing which prevents 5 stars, but I will reiterate it does not spoil the camera completely.Read full review
this is probably the best camera I have. I have a Konica 5D (DLR), a minoz, Konica 35 mm camera and aBout 3 other point and shoot digitals. This camera is very light and has the capability to put filter on and also add micro and telephotos. It is also very well balance and takes magnificant photos. I had purchased the Konica Z1 when it first came out. Its draw back was you could not add filters or lenses. This camera is wonderful for traveling. I would, however, use the DLR when I would want a lot more in a picture other than travel scenes of vacation. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE FROM NOVICE TO A PROFESSIONAL.
New or used, this is a state of the art camera with a 2 inch digital screen to view the newly-taken images An SD card makes this highly accessible to many printers and computers. A USB cable adds flexibility to image transfer. Battery life is optimal (4-6 hr) of continuous and several uses when using at various times. Rechargeable AA batteries seem to double the usage capability. Optional Macro lens makes this a great camera to assist any e bayer to take those ultra-close, ultra-detailed images for posting. The optional telephoto lens and filter allows even more than the 48X zoom by adding another 60X for an incredible 960X or telescopic capabilities. This feature is great for moon shots. The ant-shake mechanism is unequalled and amazing. Using a tripod also allows for maximum telephoto shots. Close-up and high speed athletic shots are crisp and virtually devoid of any noise. The 8 settings can make this camera into a simple point and shoot to a manual setting with exposure options and professional-use capability. Awesome camera for the money. Compares well with my Nikon SLR and less than half the price!Read full review
