Minolta's 2001 mid-range digital compact — 3.3MP CCD, 35-140mm equiv 4x zoom, CompactFlash, runs on AA batteries.

The Minolta DiMAGE S304 was announced in February 2001 alongside the flagship DiMAGE 7, opening Minolta's S-series of mid-range consumer digital compacts. It offered a longer zoom than most three-megapixel rivals of its day and was later followed by the S404 and S414.

It combines a 3.3-megapixel CCD (3.14MP effective, 2048x1536) with a 4x optical zoom covering a 35-140mm equivalent range at f/3.0-3.6. Shutter speeds run from 4s to 1/1000s. Images are stored on CompactFlash Type I cards, with a 16MB card supplied when new, and power comes from four AA cells, with NiMH rechargeables the practical choice. An optical zoom finder and rear LCD handle composition.

The S304 suits early-digital collectors and anyone curious about turn-of-the-millennium CCD colour on a budget, with the 140mm-equivalent reach giving it more flexibility than typical compacts of 2001. It is slow by modern standards in start-up, autofocus and writing, so it rewards patient, deliberate shooting rather than action.

The AA power supply is a real advantage today — no hunt for a dead proprietary pack — but test with fresh NiMH cells as these cameras are heavy drinkers. Confirm the CompactFlash slot reads a card and the pins are straight, check the zoom extends smoothly, and inspect the LCD and lens for haze. CF cards in small capacities are still obtainable but factor in a card reader.
