Hi all.
I was reading the review by Jeff Keller. Apparently its not much in favor of the Z3 which is quite a shame as the Z3 looked hopeful ! " What I didn't care for: * Images seemed soft and noisy * Poor low light focusing; no AF-assist lamp * Lens is on the "slow" side * EVF and LCD are small, low resolution * Plastic body scratches easily; SD card slot cover ready to break off at any moment * Camera bundle is not great " more here http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/mi...ew/index.shtml |

Well, for completeness, he also said:
What I liked:
After running a few thousand exposures thru the Z3, I would have to say it's a very good camera for the money. Picture quality is not what I had hopedin low light situations (I was spoiled by film), but it does a great job when there's plenty of light. It has features of cameras costing twice as much. Because I had already paid big bucks for the Minolta 5600 flash for my Maxxum 5 film camera, I wanted to stick with Minolta. Had it not been for that, I would have taken a harder look at the Panasonic FZ20 and others in the price range. |

couldn't say it better than Jerry, it's great camera, and once you get used to it, it will provide you with nice shots. Right now weather isn't good here so I mostly take macroshots and find this mode just exellent.

Hi, I've had the Z3 for a month and shot about 1,000 frames. I agree with other comments - good pictures, great zoom but not good in low light conditions. Even outside, if the weather is gloomy then pic quality suffers more than with a Dimage f100 that I've used previously.
The firmware upgrade is important - resolves issues with the continuous mode for example. |
