batteries fall out (Hydra - 3/23/09)

The camera was fine until the thin plastic lid holding the batteries under far too much spring tension broke, allowing the batteries to fall out.read more

Far from perfect (DC Resource - 7/14/03)

Though the Minolta DiMAGE S414 does offer "exceptional value for the price," its overall performance is uninspiring. For buyers on a budget, however, it may offer an appealing 4 megapixel option. read original review

A mixed performer (CNET - 7/14/03)

A tepid review of the Minolta DiMAGE S414. While it is easy to use and has a good feature set, its images are average, the autofocus is slow, and its LCD's resolution is poor. read original review

An incredible deal (steal?) at just $399 (or less.) (Steve's Digicams - 7/14/03)

A great value for the price, the Minolta S414 offers good performance at a far lower price than other 4-megapixel cameras. Though the focus can be slow, the camera is ideal for both novices and experienced photographers. read original review
