from J & R Summary: This is a wonderful camera. I have been using it for more than 3 years and have taken over 1000-2000 pictures and not ONE problem with it (well, there was this time when I took it out during a big snowstorm, and there was a lot of condensation on the lens, for some reason it locked up but it unlocked itself afterwards). Very reliable camera; it has never failed me once. The trick is, the lens that came with the camera kit is relatively cheap compared to the body (the part that bothers me the most is the focus adjustment ring when you switch to Manual). I have recently bought a 50mm AF normal lens for this camera, and the pictures were noticeably sharper (also has an aluminum-mount). Strengths: -Has functions for beginner and amateur photographers alike.
-Fast shutter (1/4000 at fastest) and also as long as 30 seconds.
-Good battery life (approximately 50 rolls if you ease up on flash).
-Good ergonomics.
-Efficient scrolling button that handles everything.
-Speedy film-advancing Weaknesses: -Aperture (on manual) is a bit hard to adjust because you have to hold down a key near the lens, and then scroll to change the f-stops. Similar Products Used: Maxxum7
