Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 low light

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I'm on the way to decide to buy a km z5 and I have read many reviews
(too much!) I would like to hear some advice from somebody who already
own it. Expecially about soft images at default settings, noise levels a
little above average expecially working at iso320, and poor low light
focusing.
And what about Kodak dx7590?

thank you.

Hi Marco,

One of the things I always do before I buy something is visit a few
retailers to get the best price, and I try out the item if I can (cameras
are a good example). If you bring a SD or CD depending on camera format,
you can bring home some images and compare them directly later on (providing
you take a picture using the same settings etc. of the same subject in the
same location.

Remember, with long zoom cameras, the aperture will change and exposure is
reduced from a wide angle setting to when the lens is zoomed all the way
out. So, account for this as you review your pictures or take them. Also,
depending on flash settings, the flash range will be reduced as you zoom.
Check the features and details about the range of the cameras you are
reviewing so you will know. This can be an important feature. I suspect both
cameras will do a great job.

Of course, I am biased toward Kodak as I have one.

Talk to you later.
