How is this for a digital camera?

I'm not sure if its a Minolta or "Dimage" or what.

Opinions?

Taken with my S414.

BTW, it's a Minolta Dimage S414. Kinda like a Ford Mustang GT.

Minolta's digital gear is all labelled "Dimage".

That's a great camera, kinda big to carry around, but excellent image quality.

 

I wouldn't give Tiger Direct the time of day, otherwise, nice camera

Holy overpricing, Batman!

Check out newegg, and save $200. Better yet, get a Canon A80 or S400.

BTW- Its a Minolta Dimage

Remember, this is CDN $$$. Is the price still bad?

Sorry, didn't see that. Newegg has it for $349US, which comes out to ~$460CND. I would say that you could find a better price.

I paid under $300 US for mine (From Amazon).

I got a dimage f100 (compact 4 mp camera) for $225 shipped - you can find the camera for MUCH cheaper elsewhere... groovy camera though I find that it just kills alkaline batteris.. I literally get 2 min out of a pair- you MUST buy some good NIMHs..

BTW the s404 is very similar and can be had for MUCH cheaper as well...

Yep, the differences you won't be able to notice. If anything, I'd get an F-100 though, it only uses 2 AA batteries instead of four, if anything, it's much slimmer. I bought enough NIMHs for it.

IMHO the S414 is worth it for the simple fact that it can shoot standard TIFF images rather than the proprietary uncompressed format that the S404 used.
