The Revio family of Advanced Photo System (APS) cameras represents an optimal blend of beauty and brains. Each camera in the Konica Revio family is sure to win the heart of any photographer who wants a full-featured, ultra-compact and lightweight camera that is as eye-catching as it is easy-to-use. Headlining the family is the Konica Revio Z3, which boasts a long list of high-performance features - led by its sophisticated new 3x-zoom lens. This is a six-group, seven-element precision lens that smoothly shifts from an ultra wide 21mm to 58mm. Its advanced design ensures sharpness at both ends of the range, and allows photographers to get the whole gang into the frame, as well as capture the expression of that special someone in portrait. A special mirror adapter, which can be removed or folded when not in use, is positioned to allow photographers to perfectly frame self-portraits that can be shared with family and friends.Capture those precious moments - intimate details are just a touch of a finger away. The Revio Z3 was made to capture those precious moments with its 3x zoom. Special features include multiple modes, flash power management and self-timer! Revio Z3 features 3 print formats (panoramic, conventional, an wide prints), Index Print. It has a Konica's exclusive self portrait mode, flash power management (saves battery power by 50%) with multiple flash modes including on, off, auto flash, +1.5 compensation, red eye reduction; night view portrait, long distance day mode; continuous shooting mode.

Summary: Never in focus
Comment: 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.

Summary: Flash
Comment: 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.

Summary: Problems with Lens Cover
Comment: 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.

Summary: Excellent but could have certain design enhancements
Comment: 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.

Summary: Konica Revio
Comment: 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.
