Hi.
I had already checked almost of these pictures. In my opinion I can't find so many "critical" pictures with i.e. high contrsted situations like a three with the sky in the background. Look at http://gallery.kmfstudio.com/minoltaz1_samples the 10th and 11th picture to understand what I mean. I got the same results with my shoots. Take a picture of a white furniture with a dark background and check the edges. I know that we don't take such pictures very often but a flower or a portrait under sunshine will be quite good with almost cameras. Make a comparison between two cameras should be done with, at least, the same aperture, shuttertime and ISO. I can't understand this type of test.
I know that Z1 is a CHEAP camera as everybody says but this in not a reason för bad quality for both construction and picture.
