Strength:

This holds everything from a moderately wide angle lens to a moderately long telephoto, none of which are cheaply built or very small. The weight of 8 lenses and two bodies in the bag, along with some filters, film, etc. is well supported on the heavy duty shoulder straps. I have still been carrying a Bogen 3021 tripod w/ 3047 head separately, but have had no problems when I clipped it in. Bismarck Mobile Truck Repair

Photo Quality Features Buttons Battery eater

The camera looks nice and is very pretty. Nice features but unfortunately none of them work! This camera focuses on everything except the object you are photographing. It''s like it enhances red eye! Photo Quality SUCKS!! I''m gonna take this garbage to the pawn shop and see if I can get a pencil and paper cause I can draw bettre than the Samsung Impax 240i. Don''t waste your money!

Customer Service

Strength:

- Size - Price - Zoom lense

Weakness:

- Bad picture quality - Horribly short battery life - Bad red eye reduction - Bad buttons, too small to comfortably work.

I wouln''t recomend this camera to anyone! @ first it seemed like a great deal. It''s tiny, inexpensive with a decent zoom lense. It''s tiny which was the reason I was interested. I had a large Pentax 35MM SLR and with the zoom lense it was beast to carry around. I was looking for something that I can carry without making my arms/neck sore from the weight. BUT, you get what you pay for: Horrible red eye reduction - The camera has a small red diode that blinks prior to flash operation... Doesn''t do a thing. Eats batteries - Make sure to carry an extra set because if you use the camera and don''t finish the roll of film, it will need another battery in about a day or two, even when not in use. Eat''s film - I''ve had this camera eat whole cartridges of film. The battery indicator is normal and I place a new roll inside. The camera sets up the first frame and exausts the battery. When you replace the battery, it rewinds the film and gives an exposed display... Meaning the fresh roll has been rewinded and useless! The picture quality is horrible - In comparison to my friends 35MM Olympus Stylus and other 35MM camera''s I''ve had experience with, the quality of the 24MM APS format is mediocre @ best. It''s grainy, the color is washed out, etc. I have tried both Kodak and Fuji film, with similar luck. It may be the camera, but I''m going to purchase another camera, probably a 35MM. Why even take the camera if the pictures are horrible and it doesn''t work because the battery is exausted!

Strength:

Very good autofocus
Clear, sharp pictures
Ease of use
Small size

Weakness:

Small buttons
Weak flash
Ineffective redeye reduction

I like the small size, and the fact that it comes with a case you can put on your belt. Picture quality, a zoom lens, and low price were the most important factors when I decided to buy this camera. (The store had sample photos available for viewing).

I still prefer a 35mm SLR for most of my photography, but when a smaller camera is prefered or I just don't feel like carrying a larger camera, this one is easy to keep out of the way, and I get great prints.

If you've ever been somewhere without a camera and wish you would have had one, this is a great camera to carry for those occasions when you don't think you'll need one.

Strength:

Small size, APS (I like APS, works well with a film scanner).

Weakness:

Red eye reduction doesn't really reduce red eye. Takes too long to take pictures sometimes when using the flash or when battery is less than new.

Buy a pile of batteries you will need them if you ever want to use your flash

A small camera loaded with features, but they don't always work as promised. I was overall disapointed with the quality of this camera when compared with the kodaks or cannons.

I wouldn't recomend it too highly. If you can get it cheap go for it, but remember to keep the money you saved availible for batteries as this camera only funtions well with a fresh battery

You want a camera for good photos without getting fancy, Buy this one. Zoom lens & auto focus has never taken a bad picture. 20 rolls of film on same battery.

grainy photographs

I wouldn't recommend this camera to anyone as the quality of the photographs have been awful compared to my old Pentax. Very disappointed with this camera and think it is grossly over-priced.
