Minolta Dimage S414

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2003
The Bottom Line: The camera has the feel of quality. Great optics, sharp pictures, 4 Megapixels, a 4x optical zoom and a host of high-end features. I couldn't find a better value.
Review: I was interested in finding a digital camera that would offer excellent image quality combined with the ability to control the picture-taking process. I was looking for quality and value.

In the end, to cut through the process, I bought...

Konica/Minolta blues

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: A good camera that is hampered by short battery life, and only uses half of the battery. Unforgivable.
Review: I bought my Dimage S414 on sale for $229. For the money, I figured a 4.0mp camera with a 4x optical zoom was a good deal.

Taking Pictures
The camera can be used in automatic mode, and takes pretty good pictures. The flash can be...

Excellent Picture Quality

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: It's fun to use and takes outstanding pix. Exceptional value.
Review: Best of all is the amazing picture quality this camera produces. Focus window shows you exactly what part of the picture the camera locked on to focus. It works. Colors, saturation, contrast all good. Needs a little help with overall brightness. The...

better than a point and shoot - not an SLR

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great point and shoot camera for the avid photographer. Not idiot proof though.
Review: I've worked as a semi-professional photographer and finally decided to buy a digital. In short I like the Minolta S414. For what I consider to be a point-and-shoot camera it's an excellent camera with a very good lens, very, very good metering...

Exellent Camera for Short $$

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: I would buy this camera for any hobbyist. Be careful, this camera has a plastic housing so don't drop. Despite, I'd still recommend.
Review: I bought this camera on my honeymoon in St. Thomas last May 2003. Before doing so I had looked at many cameras and did a thorough amount of research. There were several things I was judging my perspective cameras on.
1) Will the camera take...

A bit overwhelming

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Originally I recommended this camera, but no longer. The battery and focus problems I've experienced are significant.
Review: The Minolta S414 is my first digital camera. I suppose I expected the whole digital camera experience to be easier than this, but I must say I have experienced a bit of frustration in the first few weeks that I've had this camera. I don't think it's...

Not disappointed- yet

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: There's some brand new ones available on eBay and I would say they're worth the price.
Review: I needed to replace the sucky Sakar 80379 that I got on sale at Toys 'R Us (that should have told me something) and subsequently lost. At that point I would have been happy to get a camera with a preview screen! I got this from a pawn shop and had...

Great camera, lousy quality

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: After having different things go wrong with two examples of the same camera, I couldn't recommend this one in good faith. Steer clear, digicam-philes.
Review: After careful consideration, I bought my S414 in June of '03 from an online camera store for $300 plus $40 for shipping. Absolutely no gripes about the ease of use or picture quality; in fact, if you're taking family pictures that will be printed no...

A solid performer

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Recommended for shutterbugs low on cash
Review: I've got this camera for almost two years and took thousands of photos. Reading other comments, I realize that early batches must have been faulty, since I treated this camera as any other photo camera, neither banged it all round nor overprotected...

Inconsistent quality?

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2004
The Bottom Line: You may get lucky and get a good copy of this camera model, but I can't recommend it.
Review: Background
I just bought the S414 from on on-line auction biz - uBid. The camera was refurbished by Minolta. That didn't bother me - I've purchased numerous refurbished products and always had good luck. Nor was I concerned that uBid seems to...
