Minolta Dynax 404Si STsi, Sweet S overview

Here is an overview of one of Minolta's most popular camera, the Dynax 404Si AKA STsi or Alpha Sweet S. An entry level camera packed with features like partial metering. wireless flash, multiple exposure and others. It's so good I took it on holiday with me!

Good effort on the review. I bought one of these, new, back in 1999, it was my first SLR and I cut my teeth on it before getting a beautiful fully manual Nikon FE. Unfortunately it was at that watershed moment between analogue and digital, and I ended up getting a D70 in 2004 which I still use as my main tool today, and both my analogue cameras ended up languishing in a cupboard for two decades. But I've just signed up for a b&w developing course this summer, so thanks to your video, I'm dusting off my Dynax and I'll be taking it round the Pyrenees for some landscape work next week. Cheers!

I have a Dynax 4, which is quite similar and has that mediocre 28-80mm kit lens. I quite often use it with the older 35-70mm f4 which is from the era of the Dynax 500si, and this lens is far superior. I found your channel through your post on the Talk Photography forum. Good stuff!

Hello theoldunshot1005, Thank you for your comments and insights into the Minolta range. I think there are a few people on TP who also YT. I have watched some of your videos as well. I think we seem to be on a similar journey to help people get the most from these old cameras. Good luck and all the best MVC
