Hello,

I'm a newby to photography and trying to buy some accessories to my
camera. I have a Minolta Dimage S414 digital camera. Right now, I'm
about to buy some polarizer filters. However, I can't decide: linear or
circular? Somewhere I read that linear polarizers are only for older
cameras, with digital you should use circular. In a digital camera
how-to book I found that circular polarizer is a bad choice for a
digital camera. Which is true?? Do you have any suggestions? Any
suggestions for brands? Right now I've found Tiffen and Hoya in the
price range I'm planning to spend... Thanks for any ideas,

Zsolt

Generally speaking autofocus cameras require circular polarizers.
