Minolta 404si Dynax doesn't shoot
It sounds like you may have an issue with the shutter mechanism, most likely caused by a worn out or dirty shutter. I would recommend taking it to a professional camera repair shop to have it checked out. They may be able to diagnose the issue and repair it or, if necessary, replace the shutter.
If you are not comfortable with taking it to a professional, you can try to diagnose the issue yourself by taking a few test shots with the camera on a tripod in different lighting conditions. If you are able to get some consistent results (e.g. the shutter always fails to fire at the same point or in the same lighting conditions) then you may be able to narrow down the problem and focus your troubleshooting efforts.
I just put brand new
Sounds as if there is a malfunction in the flash. The batteries are in the correct orientation, aren't they ?
What card does my Minolta DiMAGE 1 use
The answer to this, and many other questions of a similar nature, may be contained in the manual. If you have no manual, you can download a manual for almost any equipment by Googling the make and model followed by the word Manual, then follow the appropriate link(s).
What is the biggest size memory card for my Dimage A1 Minolta Camera?
An older camera, the DiMage A1 came with a 16mb card. Some cameras are picky about which cards work best. Compact Flash cards are sold in different speeds and your camera may work faster with a faster card. This camera can use Compact Flash type I or type II, and is compatible with the microdrive card. Since this camera was introduced the capacities of Compact Flash cards have increased dramatically so I believe you should be able to use a larger card with no problems but I would check out some of the online photography sites to read about other's experiences. Here is one good resource:
