Strength:

Easy to load. 

Weakness:

Poor quality photo. Bad focus (you can't get close to things ata ALL) Expensive film and processing.

Ugh, I hate this camera. The photos are grainy, and they just get worse as the camera ages. It's incredibly loud and the zoom is awful. Plus, the film is expensive, as is the processing. Disposable cameras take better pictures, sadly.

Strength:

Excellent photo quality.
Easy to use.
Colors are very life-like.


Weakness:

Zoom is not nearly strong enough.

This camera takes excellent photographs within close range, but not a high quality zoom. The color quality is excellent. This camera is great for the casual photographer or the beginner.

Strength:

APS format.

Weakness:

Picture quality is very grainy. Autofocus takes a long time.

The picture quality is very grainy. I am tempted to blame it on APS but I have seen APS photos from Canon's Elph line and they are much better. I had a cheap Minolta Freedom 35mm camera before this and it took much better photos.

Also, the autofocus seems to take a long time to lock in. I've missed a lot of photos because it shot too late. It could be my technique, but I have an Olympus D600L and I seem to work with that autofocus fine.

This was a $150 camera when I bought it 3 years ago. I think there are much better APS cameras for the price.

Customer Service

Never got the $20 rebate Kodak offered even when followed up with a phone call. They lost the form and wouldn't take a copy.

Model Reviewed: Advantix 4100ix

Strength:

Prints date and title on back of photograph, instead of on the front.
Proof sheet easier to view and order reprints from than negatives.
Sleek, lightweight.

Weakness:

Picture quality is mediocre.

This is an OK product for a beginner or for occasional picture taking, but if you want good quality, choose a different camera.

Strength:

Good resolution, high clarity, easy to use.

Weakness:

Occasionally the photos develop darker than expected. Outdoors photos usually come out somewhat different, esp. when there's a lot of sun or not much sun.

Good camera for casual/beginners, fun camera.

Strength:

APS Format
Good for beginners

Weakness:

Grainy Pictures
Light Haze
Poor Zoom Ability

I have used this camera outside, and it takes nice pictures. When used inside during a concert with 400 film, the pics were hazy and grainy. My husband's disposable Fuji at the same concert did much better in the clarity aspect. The zoom is not nearly as strong as I would like it to be. This camera is good for people who occasionally take photographs and are not taking pictures of things they consider extremely important (i.e. expensive vacations or concerts).

Strength:

Easy to use

Weakness:

Not much zoom (60mm)
Grainy pictures

It's a decent camera for the individual who is mainly into taking occasional snapshots. If you want something more, this camera is not for you.

Customer Service

Haven't used yet. Went back to 35mm because APS film is just too d*** expensive to process.
