Review 1 of 41

Price Paid:  $0.00 from gift

Summary:

I've had this camera now for about 3 years. It has served all my purposes well. I use it for all the trips I go on...my good old stand by point-and-shoot. But I think at 3 years, it is showing its age. The battery life of each of the batteries are becoming successively shorter. I asked the tech at the camera shop and he said that there is something electronically wrong, and to fix it it would cost as much as getting a new camera. To tell you the truth, it hasn't been the good-little-camera it usually was, lately...

Strengths:

Ease-of-use, portability, I got a lot of pretty decent pictures - it's more hit or miss though (it's awesome or crappy)

Weaknesses:

The premature aging stated above, small viewfinder, the hit-or-miss factor

Customer Service:

my warranty long expired, so this is n/a for me.

Review 2 of 41

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:

I bought this camera to replace my old supermarket FUJI 35mm compact. It's small, lightweight and easy to use, ideal for holidays etc. But... It's also very difficult to hold steady because of its small size and weight. Buttons are made for women and children only, they are so small. Slow lens means that you have to use ISO 800 film most of the time. Image quality is also rather poor. I'm not very happy with it. Good thing is that I bought it Tax Free so it wasn't too expensive.

Strengths:

Size Light weight Easy to use

Weaknesses:

Size (too small buttons, difficult to hold steady) Lens VERY slow Zoom not stepless Image quality (especially the panorama prints)

Similar Products Used:

EOS IX

Customer Service:

None needed

Review 3 of 41

Price Paid:  $179.00 from Circuit City

Summary:

I think this camera is great. Fantastic AutoFocus and very compact. The LCD tells you all you need to know and APS allows for lots of flexibility in general. The zoom is excellent and can focus well even in the most telephotographic mode. I kinda took a chance and used this camera for the first time at graduation...went through two rolls in as many days and the pics turned out GREAT! Highly recommend this camera!

Strengths:

Great AutoFocus, even when Zoomed Compact but Durable (metal case) Love the APS vs. 35mm (error-proof) Picture Quality hardly compromised whatsoever (vs. 35mm) Like the zoom as well

Weaknesses:

APS Processing takes longer and is more expensive. Should have purchased online and saved $40 Otherwise, no weaknesses.

Similar Products Used:

Canon SureShot TeleMax Canon AE-1 Program (SLR) Canon Rebel 2000 (SLR)

Customer Service:

Have Not Needed it

Review 4 of 41

Price Paid:  $255.00 from Amazon

Summary:

This little camera is incredibly portable, easy to keep on hand, and produces nice images. The zoom is very helpful in framing the pic. I bought this for a trip to Paris and wanted something I could keep on hand but that would be discreet. The pics from the trip turned out great and the option to switch aps film without shooting entire rolls really helped meuse the right film for the situation.

Strengths:

Small, durable, metal case feels solid. Simple operation--I've loaned it out to several friends who've all like it.

Weaknesses:

The light weight and small size actually work against the camera, making it difficult to hold the camera steady enough to keep things sharp when using the telephoto zoom.

Similar Products Used:

None, have previously used full-size 35mm SLR's

Customer Service:

Haven't needed it.

Review 5 of 41

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Online

Summary:

I usually use an SLR except when I want to go really compact. That is when I use this camera. You can''t get too much more compact than this. This is the best point and shoot camera that I have ever used. I have many outstanding photo''s taken with this little gem while traveling in Europe. I''ve even blown up many to 8x10''s and they still look good.

Strengths:

Compact Sharp Lense

Weaknesses:

24mm (inherently lacks the detail that larger formats have)

Customer Service:

Not Used
