Strength:
A very reliable and easy to use camera, also very durable (a major plus on hiking/biking trips...)
Weakness:
ASA dial is not as easy to adjust as i'd like it to be but this is a minor inconvenience. An excellent starting camera for those just getting into 35mm SLR photography, the bodies are still plentiful and affordable for good condition examples (look for the ones without the famous A-series shutter return whine). The controls are very easy to use and understand and the quality is excellent. One of my favorite cameras in my collection. Customer Service Never had to bring one in for service so i can't really say about the Cust svc issue... Similar Products Used: Other Canon A-series models (A-1, AT-1, AL-1, etc...) |

Strength:
This camera has been the best one I have used. The photos always turned out great!
Weakness:
I have a tendency to attempt to shoot a picture too close up, so then the camera has problems with focusing. The worst problem is it was a present to my husband at the time and that made it his when we divorced. :o( I don't care for the weight, but a camera needs to be sized large enough to hold! I would choose this camera again in a heartbeat! Similar Products Used: I have tried a friend's 35mm camera, similar but not as good. I just need to have a camera that I can point and sho |

Strength:
This was the camera my local shop recommended when I made the leap from point and shoot. Picked up a 10 year old model with a 50mm lens. This camera takes wonderful pictures even though I am just learning to use it properly.
Weakness:
None yet. I have been using this camera for about 2 years, teaching myself how to use a manual camera properly. I have found it to be an excellent camera which has performed flawlessly during the time I have owned it. It is easy to use and produces beautiful pictures. I have never regretted purchasing this camera. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Well it's the only SLR that I own so I'm limted to only this review
Weakness:
I have yet to have any problems with it. I like the older metal bodies over the newer bodies because they can withstand a little more abuse. I barely use the program moe but it's there if you want to use it. I started out on this camera and as I have progressed it has done a fine job of keeping with me as my skills get better. Customer Service Havn't had to use any Similar Products Used: Hopefully more now that I got a new job |
