Professional Reviews

4.2 out of 5

Very good image quality (Megapixel.net - 3/5/03)

The author likes many aspects of the Minolta DiMAGE S404, but faults the awkward on/off button and the "average" built-in flash. read original review

4 out of 5

One of the best values (Imaging Resource - 3/5/03)

The reviewer gave the "versatile" Minolta DiMAGE S404 the thumbs-up, but recommends using the Minolta Viewer application to bring out better colors - a step experts will gladly take but novices may find a "bother." read original review

3.8 out of 5

A steal (CNET - 3/5/03)

The biggest fault the CNet editors find with the Minolta DiMAGE S404 is slow autofocus speed; otherwise they recommend the camera as an excellent value for novices and experts alike. read original review
