What owners like
Konica KD-500 Zoom works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/1.8-inch CCD sensor and 39-117mm equivalent, 3x optical zoom are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Konica Digital Revio KD-310Z, Konica KD-400 Zoom, Minolta DiMAGE X, Minolta DiMAGE G400 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
