I Have owned both this model and the Z3. I can say that the both give excellent results in an easy to use package . The lens quality is very good indeed and all the controls fall easily to hand after a short period of initial use. There is a limited scope when using manual settings in that the shutter speed could have been longer (bulb), but that is a minor point and only important if you are shooting a lot of night shots. In good daylight the Z6 gives clear sharp results with a high standard of natural colour representation. Camera uses AA batteries, and you always need a back up set as they can discharge fairly quickly!
Ergonomic design has a good feel to it - comfortably heavy construction and very well balanced. A mobile phone camera is very handy but for the best quality photos this beats any, no matter how many Megapix. A camera is as good as its lens and size does matter. Simple to use for hundreds of HD photos and hours of video with excellent battery life.
I had an earlier model which expired, I looked on ebay as I liked the SLR digital aspect and the picture quality was very good. It is better than my old one and had hardly been used. Very pleased to have found it.

I always wanted one of these (a future classic surely?) but kept getting outbid. The styling is ultra modern and is a complete break from cameras designed to look like old fashioned 35mm film cameras. Of course you either love it or hate it and some people (posers) may worry that because it does not look conventional (hence the Buck Rogers jibes) it lacks "cred". Make no mistake this is a super camera, an absolute jewel. You can load it with four 2500maH rechargeable AAs so battery life will not be a problem at all and even if these run out you can buy AAs almost anywhere. At first I thought it was a dud as when zoomed to max the screen showed an out of focus image. As soon as the shutter release is pressed halfway the autofocus makes it sharp. I also bought a x2 range extender (telephoto) and adaptor tube for this camera for a quite modest amount so getting a picture of a robin in a tall tree or surfers should be a snip. The x2 lens is heavy but attaches to the camera body, not the zoom, so no strain is put on the zoom lens at all - clever! At the other end of the range the macro and super macro are absolutely amazing, for example I was able to photograph the pores and texture of my car steering wheel larger than life. Such a shame that Konica-Minolta left the enthusiasts camera marketplace (the word amateur sounds incorrect) Allegedly Sony bought K-Ms know-how but their Cybershot is quite different from the Z6. It is not a Z7Read full review
