Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $40.00 from Dixons, circa 1995

Summary:

Basic APS point and shoot compact camera from 1990s. Auto exposure and autofocus, via a fixed lens.

Strengths:

Pretty much idiot proof. Just drop in an APS film and then point and shoot. Includes a self-timer. Lens is protected by a sliding cover.

Weaknesses:

The lens is of a typical size for compact cameras of this size and is neither fast or sharp. The focal length is fixed at 31mm which is roughly equivalent to 36mm on a standard 35mm film camera.

Similar Products Used:

Olympus Trip 35, various other cheap compacts.

Customer Service:

Never needed. With fresh batteries, this camera still works in 2008.
