[NOTE: This is an older Konica Minolta camera, and is no longer available in Australia.] A bit of an ugly bug, maybe, but an amazing zoom range and full-on photographic control in a camera half the size of an SLR
With this 5MP offering you’ll be able to get high-quality shots of a vast range of subjects, without spending a fortune. Five-megapixel sensors are small enough to allow compact camera designs even when they incorporate massive zooms. You can get higher resolutions but in no other megapixel banding do you get this level of versatility.

You’ll also be able to achieve the equivalent of a 35-420mm zoom – the 12x zoom in the Z5 is the longest currently available. It’s perfect for long-range sports and wildlife shots, and while long zooms have a reputation for inducing camera shake, the Z5 incorporates Konica Minolta’s CCD-shift anti-shake system for sharper handheld shots. The Z5’s equally good at everyday photography, too. What a dear.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 is the best option here for pure image quality and flexibility, if you can live with its size and quirks.

Sony has raised the bar for action and sports fans with the first 200Hz television promising silky smooth motion. So how noticeable are the results?

Navman or TomTom? We tested the best selling units in a head to head battle to see which would get us home faster and with less hassle.
