Summary: best deal best pic best price
Review: Some negative comments in here have no merit because they came from people who do not know about electronic or computer. There was a comment that the pics didn't show up nice on the monitor is just plain ignorant. Get a better monitor! Here is my review: Pros:
very high quality images (PCwold agrees)
Very study built
Tiny & beautiful
Takes two different media cards
lowest price & best value Cons:
short battery life
Key features are hidden in multi-step menu (such as video) limited features (because it's small :) Buy this if you are not a pro or advanced shooter. This is the best deal out there ! Pics quality is up there at 97 percentile!

Summary: Don't go near the water . . .
Review: This camera seemed to have it all: compact, convenient size, high resolution pictures, etc. But what the instructions don't warn you is that you cannot take this camera to a beach or any place it could be exposed to sand or fine particles. The FIRST DAY I used this camera it stopped working. Konica refused to honor the warranty because it found sand in the works. They wanted to basically rebuild it for me for 244.00. I decided not to throw good money after bad, so I wasted $500 on this camera. No digital camera maker wants to post warnings not to use their camera at a beach, because no one would buy them, yet that is what they should do if they are going to refuse to honor the warranty if sand is found. I have since talked to other people who have had similar experiences. So, beware! Also, if I'd bought the camera from Amazon, I would have gotten a refund, but since I bought it from Brook's Camera, they won't help me, either. And I don't have coverage under the platinum credit card I used to purchase it with, either.

Summary: Best Ultracompact in the market right now
Review: This is the best ultracompact for your money. Four megapixels for a price lower than 3 megapixel Canon's S230. It's lighter, the same size, and has a 3x optical zoom, superior to the S230, and even better specwise than the 3x of the S330. The camera is very durable, has an excellent design to protect the lense (no lense shutter which can stop functioning). Startup time is excellent. In two seconds of opening the shutter, the camera is ready to take a photo. Compare this to say, the Minolta F-100, where you'd have to wait up to 7 seconds once you turn it on. Low light pictures are good, although red eye is a problem if you use flash. You'll want to either go for a slow exposure, or correct red eye corrected with Photoshop Elements, which is included in the package (the best software package included with any digital camera). You may want to update your firmware software to improve low light shooting and inbetween flash times. Go to the "Other digicams" forum at dpreview.com and read up on how. The KD-400Z is one of the top rated cameras out there, and a well kept secret.

Summary: I love my Konica!
Review: this is the third Konica I bought, I had KD-200, KD-310Z and KD-400Z, and I am probably going to buy their KD-500 when it comes to a better price. Apart from it's very light and easy to hold, the main feature I liked about this camera is you can have two cards in it, and literally have 256M of memory, it may not sound that important, but it definitely made a difference on a long trip. The quality of the camera was very good, I took beautiful pictures of Bryce Canyon in snow, The only drawback of it, and probably the drawback of many cameras, is the battery life, I highly recommend you buy another battery, if you are thinking of using it on some serious trips (where you may need to take photos for 6-8 hours between charges)

Summary: Great camera, hard to find batteries
Review: Unlike other reviews here, I've had no trouble with the focus, and the red-eye reduction mode has performed better than other flash systems I've used. My camera shipped with a failed battery charger and it took 4+ weeks to get it replaced. Buying a new charger was not an option; supplies for this camera are very hard to find in the USA. The dedicated battery took me weeks of searching online before I found a supplier [mfr out stock for months now], but I did find some so I got a couple spares on hand now. Love the dual SD/stick slots, hexanon optics, and very well designed button/operation layout of this tiny marvel. Audio quality on movie mode is excellent, with great depth of [aural] field. Overall very easy to use and amazing quality of image.

Summary: Compact
Review: Works great. Smallest of all comparable cameras seen. Best to buy a 64MPixel card.
