This is my first digital camera and I did a lot of reading before I decided what camera I wanted to buy. The 8 x optical zoom and the .4 in. macro option is what sold me on this camera. I have had it for about two weeks now and have taken some great pictures. I can not beleave the the detail I can get in my close up shots. The only reason I did not give this camera a five is because once I take it off of auto I find it hard to figure out some of the other settings even when I have read how to do it in the manual. I think this is a great camera for a beginner because it can grow with you.

I LOVE this camera... I bought it for around $175 and it takes just as better pics (if not better!) than my friends who have more expensive, higher tech cameras. I feel like a pro when I use this camera! My family has actually been amazed at the pictures I have taken, they really do look professional. I wish I could post the pictures on here to show you! You won't regret this purchase! The only con I have is that there is no mic so there is no sound with the video, but I don't really take much video so it doesn't matter!

This is my first digital camera. Just like most other first-time buyers, I read reviews and product features. A friend has a 10X zoom camera and I figured that for my needs I would want a camera that can get close-ups. This camera is awesome!!!! Not only is it great for beginners like me, I can also learn how to do better quality photos without becoming a rocket scientist. It does more than I dreamed of with quality that even impresses my husband. I was going to buy a camera at Christmas time, but when I saw the price on this -- well, let's just say I had Christmas in July.

I bought this camera to replace my 25 year old yasicha FR2 that had just wore out. I researched on the net several models and pick the Z10 because it had all the features I wanted and was in my price range. Right out of the box I took the picture of the water fall fountain I have posted, this camera could not be easier to use. I read the manuel after I took the picture and have found the controls well laid out, easy to navigate and simple to use. I highly recomend this camera if you are a beginer or intermediate camera user, on full auto you will take great pictures and with the controls you can have all the creativity you want. I bought a 512 meg card and Nimh batteries to go with it as many people have suggested, with the 512 meg card setting set at fine and 1280 resolution I can store 750 pics. I especialy like the view finder, after 25 years of using a SLR I found it very difficult to get use to the LCD screens but this is just great for me. For what it does and what I wanted this is a great camera!!!
After using this camera for over 2 years it still amazes me how good it is. I have posted 3 new pictures that show more my progression taking good pictures than how well it works. One testiment to the quality and value of the Z10 is, how many electronics do you know sell for close to the price you paid or more?? I know Minolta stop making theses cameras but look up the price of a new one in any of the price sites.

This is maybe my 14 or 15th digital camera. It is far and above my favorite as of right now. The digital viewfinder is excellent as is just about everything is on this camera.

The only flaw or problem with it is the lack of ability to focus in low light, such as dusk or at night in the home with minimal room lighting. Last week I found a deer in my yard, I was able zoom into the face, but couldn't get the camera to focus lock. (It was just as the sun was setting) If you do much low light shooting, this camera is a pain.

Daylight or average room lighting, this camera is OUTSTANDING.

I picked this camera up from a department store as a dispaly model for $132. With the savings I picked up two 256mb SD cards. I am constantly amazed by this product. Although it does have difficulty focusing at night, the lens cap is not attached and has a built-in only flash, the pictures I get are perfect for my needs and any color issues or red eye are just a mouse click from perfection! I was prewarned by others to get an external power source and to always have extra batteries. However, I've been pleasantly surprised with only two battery changes in well over 300 shots. There seems to be layers and layers of built-in functions, options and modes that I haven't even begun to tap. The optical zoom has enough power alone that I've rarely gone into the digital zoom, which is a function I haven't found to be useful on other cameras, let alone this one. The movie mode is adequate for quick flicks, but there is no sound. Fine by us as our digi camcorder covers that base. Still very new to us, so time will tell. But for now--very pleased!

This camera is GREAT for the price, It out performs my friends cameras who spent 3 times the money on the camera they use!

DONT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAY IT CANT WORK WELL IN LOW LIGHT!

If you read the book that comes with it, it tells you how to make it work well in low light/ night shots.

and it does work well! :)

All i have to say, this camera rocks!

I purchased this camera for my daughter on her 13th birthday. She loves to take pictures but I hate spending the money to develop pictures that are duplicates or just not the greatest of pictures. She & I both love this camera. The book gives you detailed information on how to use it & the pictures are fabulous. I have taken my own pictures of her & printed them out on photo paper with our all-in-one printer at home & they look just like the professional's do. I don't regret this purchase at all.

The quality of the pics are outstanding. Autofocus is sharp and quick. Recharge between pics is fast. Batteries last a long time. The macro feature is incredible (Turn off flash if pic is washed out). The opitical zoom is good (Use a tripod or solid rest object for best results). IT's really easy to use so a beginner will be fine. It has manual features for more advanced fooling around.

Best of all, it costs half as much as other cameras in this category.

Its been a week since I have owned this camera. I think it is a great camera for the price(below $200). The picture quality is awesome and 3.2 MP is more than enough. The best part of this camera are the ultra zoom, macro and amazing battery life. I have taken over 100 pictures and all of them are very clear. The macro mode of the camera is very cool. The shutter lag is hardly noticeable and better than most cameras including sony. The only concern of this camera is it takes some time to adjust the focus at night, but the delay is not much either. The lens cap is completely detachable from the camera. So you have to remember it to keep it at a safe place. Of the cameras I have researched this camera offers amazing results for its price.
