NA

Weakness:

Bought the camera Jan of 01. 6mo. later the zoom lense started sticking, sent it in to Minolta under warranty, they didn't repair mine but sent me soneone elses reject that was refurbished. The refurbished reject lasted 12 mo. this time with the same problem only worse, lock up the camera solid. Talked to Ritz Camera, they tell me now that they have had problems not only with the 304 but the 404 also. It looks like a design flaw to me. STAY AWAY FROM MINOLTAS S304, 404, AND 414 MODELS

The camera takes very good pictures when it works.

Strength:

Great lens. Images are sharp. Colors are good - and are even better after running them through the Minolta software.

Weakness:

Tripod mount poorly placed. We knew this going in and just don''t care. I''ve got lots of SLRs if I want to do tripod work.

Saw reviews on dpreview.com, and a few others that convinced me that this camera was worth trying out. Got a great deal at B&H - only $400. So far very happy. Pictures are very good. This is a bargin 3Mp right now. Dimage 5 and 7 may also be had at very good deals - check out forums on dpreview.com for how to do it. It''s got a lot of features, but not a few that more discerning enthusiasts will want - so 4 on features and 5 on value.

Similar Products Used:

none - never used a digital before. Have extensive experience with normal SLRs.
