Optics and Resolution
The Minolta Dimage S414's high-precision electro-optical system is built around a 4.1-megapixel interline primary-color CCD with 4 million effective pixels. The built-in Minolta GT lens is a versatile apochromatic 4x zoom with anomalous dispersion (AD) glass for color accuracy and dual aspherical elements which, combined with a 2.2x digital zoom, provides an 8.8x total zoom. The optical zoom lens range is from 7.15-28.6mm, equivalent to 35-140mm in 35mm photography; with the addition of digital zoom, range is equivalent to 35-308mm in 35mm.

With Minolta's Focus Area Selection feature, photographers can move the focusing point to single out a specific subject from a number of objects at varying distances.

Three exposure modes are available: program, aperture priority, and manual.

- Minolta Dimage S414
This is the second one of these that I have bought-
The first one was accidently washed in the washing machine.
I must say that it held up pretty well-
I worked great except that the flash did not work.
I have entered my photographs in the county fair the last two years-
I won 3rd place the 1st year and got 1st place this past year-and there was some pretty good stuff there.
I love my camera and couln't wait to replace it-
I felt like I had lost my best ... Read More

- Wish I could give negative stars
I have owned a few digital cameras before and hands down, this is the worst of all. The zoom was messed up after a couple of months of purchasing and the red-eye reduction never worked. Adding to that, the customer service was horrible. It took the service people almost 2 months to tell me that I need to pay to get the camera fixed, even though the camera was still under warranty and it was the camera's fault. I was not provided with any explanation as to why I need to pay to get it repaired and never ... Read More

- Reliable - does it all
This camera has the speed needed in snapping off multiple photos without stopping. The reset speed is remarkably faster than I had expected. This camera does just about everything I ever wanted to do using a digital camera. I enter photo contests, and get great results. The Optical zoom is more than the average 3X Optical. It seems to do anything other cameras do, only with that little added touch. Can't beat the price, and appears to withstand punishment; no bumps or bruises.

- solid build for the money
I bought this camera about a year ago (and am now looking to replace it). I purchased it because it has a very nice lens for a camera in this price range (I paid $159 last year). It also has a metal body (most in this range are plastic).

BUT, (and this is the reason I'm writing this review at all)- the tripod mount makes it utterly useless! I had seen comments about the poorly placed tripod mount- and must say that's something of an understatement. The mount is way off to the side, so ... Read More

- GOOD CAMERA COMPARED TO OTHERS...
GOOD CAMERA COMPARED TO OTHERS ON THE MARKET AT THE TIME I BOUGHT IT. TAKES GREAT PIC'S, MY SISTER BOUGHT THE HP AND MINE TAKES BETTER QUALITY PICTURES. ALTHOUGH MY NEXT CAMERA WILL BE ALOT SMALLER. I LOVE THIS ONE!
