Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 6MP

Product Description
Leave it to Konica Minolta to meet the niche for a digital-camera user who prefers a wide range optical zoom for superior imaging from objects near and far. This incredible 12x optical zoom delivers a focal range equivalent to a 35-420mm range on a 35mm camera lens. Combined with another 4x digital-zoom magnification, images can be amplified to appear as if they were shot with a 1680mm lens (35mm equivalent). The Z6 employs a high-performance lens system that supports CCDs with 6 million effective pixels for fine details. The optical lens system consists of 13 elements in 10 groups and includes two AD (anomalous dispersion) glass lenses and two aspheric elements, a construction that adds up to sharp, high-quality images. Multi-coating on 14 lens surfaces ensures minimal flaring and ghosting in all zoom ranges. The Z6 can capture still pictures as well as VGA grade video movie images.

The Z6 incorporates Anti Shake technology to assure sharp pictures. Anti-Shake compensates to minimize the effect of camera shake, allowing photographers to shoot with shutter speeds four to eight times longer (2-3 stops) than on cameras without an Anti-Shake function. The Z6 can correct shaking without increasing shutter speed or raising ISO sensitivity, factors that increase image noise. The CCD-shift method doesn't require extra correction lenses like optical anti-shake systems, so the body remains compact and light. The Anti-Shake system is effective in correcting both the fine movement of pressing the shutter-release button and the larger and slower movements of the user's body.

It takes movies in VGA size (640x480) at 30 frames per second for smooth video with sound rivaling TV images. Users can also choose from other movie image sizes. The Anti-Shake function also works with the movie function to give shake-free telephoto movies. The XR (Extended Recording) Movie function lets users record movie clips onto the SD memory
