I can confidently say that the Minolta DiMAGE Z1 is one of the best bargains on the market for a long-zoom digicam (10/24/03) (Imaging Resource - 11/3/03)

The Minolta DiMAGE Z1 is a great camera in the opinion of this reviewer, who was hard-pressed to find anything bad to say about its impressive performance.. read original review

Not the best choice in its class (DC Resource - 11/3/03)

The Minolta DiMAGE Z1 proved disappointing to this reviewer, who notes that in some test shots it produced the worst purple fringing of any digital camera he has tested. Other complaints include a "rattling" noise in the lens and flimsy plastic compartment doors. On the positive side, the movie mode is very impressive. read original review

A feature rich 3.2-megapixel camera the entire family can enjoy (Steve's Digicams - 10/14/03)

The Minolta DiMAGE Z1 impressed this reviewer with its user-friendly operation, fast performance, and 10x optical zoom. Since the Z1 doesn't have an image stabilizer, a tripod is useful for taking pictures at full zoom. read original review
