Konica Z-up 110 VP (1998)
The Konica Z-up 110 VP is a 35mm point-and-shoot compact with a zoom lens, first released in 1998. It has a golden titanium finish and a one-button control scheme, which makes it an easy camera to hand to a beginner.
The lens is a Konica zoom spanning 38-110mm, a practical range for everyday photography. One source lists the aperture as f/3.8-9.4, though that figure appears only in a single listing. The one-button design has a documented quirk: the self-timer only works in fully automatic mode. An owner review on photographyreview.com (accessed 2024) notes this limit. Film transport, flash, and exposure are otherwise automatic.
Surviving documentation is thin. No production years beyond 1998, no dimensions, weight, battery type, or ISO range turn up in any source we've found. Original retail pricing is also unconfirmed. Shop listings show £40.00 in one UK shop and £59.99 in another, with a European listing at €79, but no official MSRP has surfaced. The camera typically appears on the used market with its original box and leather carry case.
