Pros Fast, Reliable, and great Features
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

Back in High School (which was not so long ago) lol, I was the Photography Editor for the yearbook, which meant that I took about 90% of the pictures. My job was extremely difficult, the 1st semester because the school only provide us with some poor manual cameras.

But the My wonderful... Read full review »

Pros Relatively inexpensive, very good picture quality, Very flexible
Cons Barely adequate flash.
Recommended it? Yes

This camera is great for beginners who want the quality and the flexibility of an SLR (Single Lens Reflex). It's also great for people who want to or plan to get more involved in the creative aspects of their photographs. I originally bought mine because I was tired of my main subject being out of...

Pros Easy to use, real power, almost professional feeling.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I have this camera for a year now and I am very happy that I bought it. It is not the most performant camera that you can buy but the price/quality ratio is very advantageous.

It is fully automated, you don't need to know anything about aperture or shutter speed to be able to take great... Read full review »

An excelent beginners camera

byelliotgrossman Mar 31, 2000
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great beginner level camera
Cons not for professionals
Recommended it? Yes

The Minolta Maxxum 400si is an excellent entry level camera. When I first started out taking pictures I used two cameras, the Pentax K1000 and the Minolta Maxxum 400si. If you take photography at school the teacher will most likely give you the Pentax because it is the timeless, though out of... Read full review »

Tried And True Camera Takes Great Pics

byDKellyU Aug 12, 2000
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lots of features, great quality photos
Cons Built-in flash, plastic lens mount
Recommended it? Yes

The Minolta Maxxum 400si is an older-model camera that holds its own against the newer, more popular models available in the same price range. It's perfect for the photography hobbyist who uses automatic features some of the time, but wants the ability to manually control all aspects of the... Read full review »

Actually mine is a 450si

byKatScarlett Apr 20, 2000
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros sharp focus, manual over-ride
Cons none that I know of.
Recommended it? Yes

There is no catagory for the 450si, so I decided this was the closest I could find.

I got my 450si in January of 1999. I finally decided that I had enough with point and shoot camera's and I was REALLY tired of having half the photo's I took come out blurry and out of focus. I would have a... Read full review »

Pros Ease of use, options
Cons Slightly complicated to switch between modes
Recommended it? Yes

The last Minolta SLR I used was a 1970's version in high school 12 years ago. Earlier this year, I decided I'd had enough with the quality of point-and-shoot cameras, even though my Minolta originally cost close to $200. For my anniversary present, I asked for a new SLR with all the trimmings.

Pros low cost, flexible use, reliable
Cons can't change ISO, no multiple exposure capability
Recommended it? Yes

I've had this camera for several years now. I purchased it originally because of it's automatic features and the ability to change lenses. As a part-time photo enthusiast, I really liked the features that were available on this camera.

Since my original purchase, I've used several other... Read full review »

Pros price, size, weight
Cons extra ex;pensives
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera because I previously owned the Minolta 300si which doesn't included a fully manual option like the 400si does. That's what I needed. I needed both options for my line of work. Not only does it give you fully manual and programmed but also an Aperture priority and Shutter speed... Read full review »
