Review 1 of 6

Price Paid:  $200.00 from Eckerd

Summary:

I Love this camera and I am wishing that the Advantix camera could preview more than one picture. It's great to see the results following each click. This camera is used on a regular basis for shooting the flowers for weddings, funerals, baby showers and church programs. My Advantix camera is similar to the American Express Card, " I never leave home without it". If anyone knows of an updated version of the Advantix camera, please respond.

Review 2 of 6

Price Paid:  $200.00 from Target

Summary:

I haven't done much photography other than a couple of snapshots with a very basic 35mm(didn't even have a zoom!)at family gatherings. I was tired of grainy pictures and pictures that are either too dark or too light. I needed something that did the thinking for me! I got the camera because I like the easy loading. I hate 35mm film! I didn't do my research, though, and found that the processing is much more expensive. I didn't use the camera for several months because of 35mm I had to use up first. When I did use it, it was very easy once I got used to it and it offers a lot of options. After I dropped the film off to be developed for the first time and found out how expensive it was...I was ready to sell the camera and go digital. And then I got the pictures back! I LOVED them. They were clear and sharp. One scenic picture I took looks like a postcard. Even had someone ask if it was!

Strengths:

Easy to load. Good clear pictures. Love the preview to see if I cut off peoples heads! Great for night photography! I took a picture at night with the lights off, of a friend holding a candle. I used the night option and it looks like it was taken with lights on. Everything showed up. LOVE THAT!

Weaknesses:

Expensive, in comparison to 35mm, to process film and to buy film. Preview screen can be tricky to see in sunlight(I have to cup my hand around it).

Similar Products Used:

Never had an APS camera before this one.

Customer Service:

Haven't had to use them yet.

Review 4 of 6

Price Paid:  $140.00 from a Local Store

Summary:

Not Worth buying, get lot of grains while using zoom to shot a subject.

Strengths:

Can see the preview, which also is not sharp, but anyhow good enough to get an idea what result you will get. Good for casual photography

Weaknesses:

Photos are not sharp. If you zoom on the subject and click you will get a lot of grains

Review 5 of 6

Price Paid:  $180.00 from photoalley.com

Summary:

I took 3 rolls of pictures w/ this camera. I loved the preview feature, but I hated the pictures. The quality was not as good as my 35mm camera. I also found that I can''t get the film developed (as it is supposed to be done) in town. The film has to be sent out of town to be done. I just had the film processed as regular APS and got double prints. I''m returning the camera today.

Strengths:

The preview feature allows you to view your picture right after you take it (you can only view the last picture you took).

Weaknesses:

The preview is hard to see, the printed pictures are not sharp, and it is difficult to get the film processed with the print selection option.

Similar Products Used:

None. This was my first APS camera.

Customer Service:

Didn''t use it.
