I nolticed the new Z6 supports only 320x240 video. This is major downgrade from the 640x480 video of the Z5. The my old Z2 has a 800x600 video mode which I use most of the time because of the better quality.

Why does Minolta keep lowering the quality of the video on the Z series?

If photo quality of a camera is low-rate, why bother with video quality?

6 MP on a 1/2.5"-CCD - hey, marketing guys, are you nuts?

Look at the noise produced by Z5 and Z20. Whatever next?
