Strength:

APS format - mid roll rewind, drop in loading Remote controll for taking pictures Ease of use

Weakness:

None

I was not ready for a SLR and wanted an APS camera a large zoom feature. I have been nothing but pleased with the camera over the past two years that I have used it. The camera is really easy to use, it is clear when looking through the view finder what size of photo you will be taking, and the remote is wonderful. I have used it soo many times to take family pictures. After having a remote I can never go back to setting the timer on a camera and running to get back into the picture. I like the APS format, drop in loading is a plus as it mid roll rewind. While it seemed for a little while that my pictures were grainy I soon discovered that where you get your film developed does matter!! It is really a shame that Kodak discontinued this camera.

Strength:

The feature that I like a lot is the remote control for taking picture. So, user don't have to run quickly in 10 seconds to be in the picture. It is great to do family pictures. Zoom capability is great too (up to 5x). It also allows user to create customized roll titles or print title. There are also several different flash functions.

Weakness:

film and developing costs are not cheap
Picture quality isn't as sharp as my old 35 mm camera, especially on enlargement.
Not many retailers carry this model.

Overall, this camera provides lots of great functions and options. It's great for family pictures when you want to include everyone. It also allow user to organize pictures with the roll and print title. But if you aren't going to use the zoom capability and all other flash functions, I think this is a bit expensive especially for beginner. It's also considered larger than many other small APS.
