Manufacturer's product description

Powerful Mega Zoom lets you fill the frame with a distant subject. It starts with a 36-290 mm 8x optical zoom for stunningly powerful shots of far-off objects. And there's 4x digital zoom to take the number up to an astonishing 32x total zoom, giving you the creative control you want for beautiful, imaginative photography. DiMAGE Z20 features Konica Minolta's high-speed, Rapid AF(Auto Focus). This hybrid system - a combination of a passive AF sensor and a video AF system - achieves superbly accurate focusing in just 0.3 seconds at both wide-angle and telephoto positions, to assure you of beautifully-focused results, quickly and automatically. Predictive Focus Control assesses the motion of moving subjects to deliver sharper images. An advanced algorithm judges where your subject will be when the shutter is released, and sets focus accordingly, so you can capture sharper images of moving subjects. Turn power on and in just 0.5 seconds, DiMAGE Z20 is ready to capture beautiful images - the fastest startup time for any camera in this class. Shutter release time lag, another critical factor in camera response, is also extremely short at only 0.04 seconds. And DiMAGE Z20 takes just 1.5 seconds between one shot and the next. With Progressive Capture you keep on shooting until you capture the moment you're waiting for. In this continuous shooting mode, you just hold the shutter button down until you're satisfied. And when you release the button, DiMAGE Z20 records the last six shots in the sequence. DiMAGE Z20 boasts a 5.0-megapixel primary color CCD and incorporates Konica Minolta's exclusive CxProcess III image processing technology to deliver beautifully clear, detailed images even at full zoom. You'll especially notice the fine detail and natural color reproduction when you make large-size prints up to 35 cm x 26 cm (14 inches x 10 inches) at 150dpi print resolution. When you want to capture moments in motion, DiMAGE Z20 can record 15fps VGA (640x480) movies, perfect for playback your PC monitor. You also have the choice of QVGA (320x240) recording at a smooth 30 fps or 15 fps. Mega Zoom, autofocusing, and Night Movie are all available for high-quality movies under a range of conditions. And as an added plus, Movie Frame Capture lets you save individual frames from your favorite scenes as still images. Use both 8x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom when shooting movies in exactly the same way as when taking still shots. So you can zoom in close to the action from a distance and enjoy all the same exciting creative possibilities.

One gooooood camera
Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20 by milc03 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Good pictures, quite easy to use, good zoom
Disadvantages lens cover isn't good, big and bulky, labels are confusing

...I got this camera a few years ago and since then it has been nothing but good. First of all it takes good photos, but it is also quite easy to use but some of the labels on it are quite confusing. Another bad thing is that the lens cover isn't very well designed and breaks quite easily and didn't really stay on much to start with. However it is easy to view and the pictures and also zoom in and it has quite a good zoom. Aswell as this it boots up quickly and it also takes pictures quickly so you won't have to miss any precious moments. The camera is a bit bulky and heavy which is a problem when walking with it but it is a very good camera.... Read review

Konica Minolta Dimage Z20 Review
Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20 by jack604624 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Easy to use, great pictures, lots of great features
Disadvantages Larger than most modern digital cameras

...I have owned this camera for almost a year now, and I have to say, it is great value for money. Ok, so it's a little larger than most digital camera, but it's worth it for a budding photographer. The 8x optical zoom is awesome for a start, allowing the user to take great shots a good distance from the subject. At the other end of the spectrum, the Macro is also fantastic, focusing at distances of only 1cm from the subject. The 5 Megapixel CCD creates bright, colourful images and the quality of the lenses create a minimum of distortion. The battery life is also adimirable for a camera of this size and the expansion slot allows the user make use of multiple memory cards, so you'll never run out of room! The camera incorporates several scene settings, as well as Auto and Full-Manual control, so this really is the stepping stone between... Read review

Nice money/what-u-get ratio 3.5/5
Review of Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20 by n3xus taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Optical Zoom, Nice Design, Good Menu, 350+frames per Batteries, Good Curves for Steady Catching
Disadvantages Big, Not so good Quality of Pictures, No Anti-shake option, No voice when Recording Video, No Underwater Housings available, Small Viewfinder

...really was the No-sound Video Rec which i didnt pay attention to it before buying.. so i think thats my mistake although it has a nice Video capture ability. Well to sum up, i think Konica Minolta z20 is an average-good digital camera with good features and high potentials.. I Rate it about 3.5 out of 5 .. i Recommend this Cam for someone not very into Photography but want some flexibility for all around Photography due to the Optical zoom and for a cheap but not crappy Digital Camera. Hope the above is Helpful to you.... Read review
