About this product

Minolta's MN53Z Bridge Camera features a long-reaching 53x optical zoom along with versatile recording capabilities in a small and compact body. Its 16.35MP BSI CMOS sensor enables high-resolution stills shooting and HD 1080p video recording with low noise and sensitivity from ISO 100-3200 as well as SD 640x480p video in high-speed 120 fps. The expansive zoom covers a 24-1256mm equivalent focal length range for working with subjects both near and far and is complemented by a 4x digital zoom that sets the combined total at 212x magnification. Optical image stabilization helps minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, which can be paramount when shooting at extremely long focal lengths. The rear of the camera features a 3.0" 460k-dot LCD monitor for easy review and composition of your images.

    Thoughts on the Konica ProShot MN53Z

    The interior photos often have a blue tint. And there should be a way to have the flash on for every interior photo, instead of the auto flash feature. The zoom works well for longer distance shots. The battery can take several hundred shots before running out. Also on overcast days the photos can come out darker than wanted.

    Great Camera

    This a great and affordable camera. This is the one that I was waiting for. Has a lot of features....most specially the 54X Optical Zoom. Feedback on this camera: - charging needs to be done with the camera - no info on how to order replacement/spare batteries - usb-c cover looks weak - small plastic holds the battery in place - 16 Megapixel max for pictures Other than those above...it does a great job of taking pictures. Affordable

    Excellent

    Easy to use. The micro setting and the detail are great. Some of the instructions could be better. But I'm rating the camera.

    Class Act Camera

    An excellent point and shoot camera. All self contained. I have Cannon with dual lenses. So heavy to carry around. My new camera is perfect for international travel.
