Amazon.com Product Description
The Konica Revio Z3 is an Advanced Photo System (APS) point-and-shoot camera with intuitive features that take the guesswork out of snapping pictures. Based on the same design as the standard Konica Revio, the Z3 model features a 3x zoom lens. The Konica Revio Z3 also features fully automated loading, winding, and rewinding as well as programmed autoexposure with center-weighted CdS measurement. This camera sports an integrated flash with red-eye reduction, night portrait mode, flash off, and a five-second recharge time.

While the Konica Revio Z3 has fully automatic features, you still get to make some decisions about your photographs. With three printing formats to choose from, you can easily change the camera from classic to HDTV to panoramic mode. You can also switch between taking pictures in bright sunshine to photographing in shade. The Konica Revio Z3 also offers a 10-second self-timer and date imprinting. It comes with a carrying case and batteries.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent but could have certain design enhancements   December 27, 1999

The camera, although slightly bigger than the Canon Elph and the Revio Z-2, produces excellent photographs. The features are robust and it delivers a zoom capability that surpasses many in its size and price category. The only drawback I have found is the slightly awkeward placement of the zoom buttons (compared to the Elph). All in all, it is a great buy.

In addition to the tiny size, the weight of this camera is small enough to really make it a terrific snapshot camera. The only drawback, which was slight, was the fact that the zoom had a small range if you are used to a zoom camera. The picture quality was amazing for something so tiny it seemed like a toy.


3 out of 5 stars Problems with Lens Cover   August 17, 2000

One of the major problems with these tiny APS cameras is simple mechanical reliability. According to the experts at the New York camera store where I bought my Revio, the Canon Elphs are notorious for the frequency of problems with their pop-up flash components. That was, and is, a good reason to consider the Revio, which has the flash fixed in the camera chassis. On the other hand, a few months after I purchased a Revio its lens-cover became stuck half-closed, reducing an entire roll of pictures to a kafka-esque parody. Tiny slivers of the natural bridges national monument are all I have left.

One mechanical failure in one camera is not necessarily worthy of note, but my brother also bought a Revio and had problems with it. In his case, the camera automatically rewound the roll of film after only a few pictures had been taken, leaving him with about six pictures across several rolls of film taken on a vacation in Portugal.

In all other ways I'm extremely pleased with the camera--its image quality and feature set are both terrific. And I know of two others who own this model and have had no problems. Just keep in mind that all of these tiny cameras are prone to mechanical problems--do your research beforehand, but even so you can't count on trouble-free operation.


2 out of 5 stars Never in focus   January 7, 2003

I know this camera is convenient but the pictures are never sharp. I have used it for a year. I wish I had spent a little more to get a quality 35mm. I plan to replace it with a digital model at greater expense. At least I won't lose the cost of film & developing, approx $15 a roll.


2 out of 5 stars Flash   July 6, 2002
I loved the size of the camera, but that has its flaws. A constant problem was red eye. Even with the red eye reduction, it was quite prevalent. I believe, from what I have read, the flash is too close to the lens.
