Strengths:    Easy to figure out and use the options. Pleasing feel to it, with the controls put where they should be.

Weaknesses:    Too light weight.

Bottom Line:   
It came with the Super Flash and Remote. Which both work {sometimes ?}
I just bought it today so maybe it is me? No instruction book so just 'winging it '
I read complaints of being grainy, fuzzy but I think that may be operator error., this camera is so light weight that when using it to really reach out there and touch someone it had better be on a tripod or braced real good. I used a Canon EOS 630 to compare it with. But if I weren't comparing it to anything else it does take acceptable images.{BTW- I bought a roll of Agfa film at the same place that I bought the camera from, It had an exp. date of 01/02 / 2000.} Still it wasn't that bad.
The flash loads fairly quickly, I noticed one complaint on that note but I don't see it as anymore of a problem than any other camera that I have.

Strengths:    none that I have found.

Bottom Line:   
Do not buy this product!! Slow reload on the flash module. Grainy photo's no matter what you do and no matter what light condition. Difficulty loading rolls of film. I have taken this product back to Mike's Camera in Boulder Co twice now and each time the company tells me nothing is wrong with the camera. And I have now taken the grainy photo's with the camera back for the second time.

Strengths:    Lightweight

Weaknesses:    Image quality, even with 800 film

Bottom Line:   
I've had this camera for about six months and am rather disappointed by the quality of the images and the red eye that seems to occur frequently when photos are taken at night. It's very lightweight, and perhaps a bit too flimsy.
