Pros: Light-weight; easy to use; 4.0 megapixel; reasonably priced.
Cons: Touchy mode dial; included AA batteries and 16mb FlashCard a joke.
Summary: The Minolta DiMAGE S404 is an easy to use 4.0 mega pixel digital camera that produces excellent prints when used with the Epson Stylus PHOTO 785EPX.
During a vacation a few months back, I spent some time with my Grandma and her new ... read more

Pros: NONE
Cons: can't take proper pictures
Summary: I hate this camera. When you want to take a photo, it is either out of batteries or won't take the picture fast enough to catch any action. No matter what settings I put it on, it is never right and I get really crappy pictures. It is to the point ... read more

Pros: none
Cons: Possible avoidance of warranty work by claiming camera was physically damaged.
Summary: The service provided by Minolta repair is unacceptable. I've had to send the camera back to them twice. Both times they claimed it arrived with physical damaged. If it was, it was not by me. When I asked them to initiate a claim at the Post Office ... read more

Pros: Good value for $ with 4MP and 4X optical zoom. Very good optics.
Cons: Plastic mode knob turns TOO easily.
Summary: I was looking for a 4 MP or better camera with a decent optical zoom range for less than $500 - so when Minolta came out with the S404 as a new model this Spring (2202), I was practically sold just on the past quality of this brand name alone. This ... read more

Pros: Great camera and beautiful pix (especially in daylight) for the price
Cons: Some peculiarities plus questionable reliability (see afterword)
Summary: First and of foremost importance, the image quality is really excellent, especially those take in daylight. Flash images are good too, but they don't have the impact of the daylight images. On a computer, you can zoom right in and the images still hold ... read more

Cons: Inability to use additional filters and lenses, short battery life, red eye with flash.
