Price Paid:  $91.00 from Target Clearance( Di

Summary:I ran into this when I was shopping around for a digital Camera. The only reason why I bought this is because it was $91.00. It was a clearance item and was also a display item. Usually my first roll of film turns out with some bad pictures. I expected this to do same. When I got the pictures back, all pictures were perfect. This is my first SLR camera and I think if I bought it at $230.00, I will still be satisfied. I really love this camera.

Strengths:The autofocus works perfect. You really do not have to be a professional to use this camera. Works just like my P-S camera. It does alot more features than most in its price category(Remote control, Zoom of 28mm-120mm, Dual flash)

Weaknesses:If you are a professional who requires a zoom range greater than that in the casual range, you may find it difficult getting the right lense accessories for this camera

Price Paid:  $260.00 from Circuit City

Summary:Excellent SRL with both automatic and manual features, zoom/wide-angle lens, fairly easy to learn and use. I took this to Italy recently, shot over 100 photos, and all but one or two (operator learning curve) are very nice indeed

Strengths:Great zoom/wide angle range, ability to either use automatic or various manual ranges. Excellent dual flash.

Weaknesses:Kind of heavy and not waterproof. I had to hide for a while in Pisa because of this. Some will not like a film camera, I prefer them.

Similar Products Used:None

Customer Service:No problems so far.
