I'm facing a hard decision, buying a Canon A510 (with the A75 as an alternative), or a Konica-Minolta Z10 (they're about the same price here), to serve me while i'm trying to develop my photographic skills..
I need some opinions about the practical differences between these two cameras.

Which one has the best image quality and color reproduction? Which one is noisier?

From what i've gathered from reviews, neither one excells at low-light autofocus, but is one better than the other? (I'll need it from time to time, taking pictures of my family&stuff like that).

The Z10's bigger zoom is a nice bonus, but not a decision-making feature..

More questions will follow :D

In the long run the Z10 will be more flexible. I'm not real crazy about the A510, as it just lacks some of the refinement of the A75. The A75 is/was probably the best low cost camera I ever used.
