"Versatile, flexible, very good images"
Pros: Fast, full-featured, 12x zoom, excellent macro, very good images
Cons: so-so low-light performance, somewhat soft images, somewhat understated colors
Summary: I got the camera a few days ago and am very pleased with it. It is fast, easy to use, full-featured and produces very good pictures. Straight out of the camera the pics are a bit soft and a bit dull, but a touch of unsharp mask and color boost makes them very good indeed. I don't use the video function, so I won't judge the camera on this basis. I took pics of similar subjects with my other cameras (Konica Minolta A2, G500, Panasonic FZ20)and found the Z6 to compare favorably with them after a bit of sharpening and color boost. The images are quite noise-free. Low-light performance is good, provided there is a point of light or strong contrast for the camera to latch on to. The 12x optical zoom is wonderful, as is the macro and super-macro performance. It has lots of features and functions and is small side of medium. It is heavier and more solid than the Z1. Another nice feature is that accessories from my A2 work with this camera also--ac adapter and flash. It uses AA batteries and battery life is very good. Highly recommended.Updated
Once I learned how to maximize its performance and take advantage of the camera's great flexibility, I am happier and happier with it. For better detail and more natural color I lowered the contrast 1 notch. Manually adjust ISO in iffy shooting situations. Check the white balance visually in mixed lighting. Check out actual photos on the pbase website to see what quality the camera is capable of.
