Strength:
Very compact. People always ask me if it's one of those APS cameras, even though it just loads regular 35mm film. Pictures are clear and crisp with enough light.
Weakness:
None Great camera for the $$$. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get a camera for casual picture taking. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Price and reviews led me to this find. Sharp pictures.
Weakness:
Sometimes the flash doesn't go off inside. This baby can take abuse, I watched it slide across a wedding dance floor, with no damage. I'm very happy, being what I needed was a basic point and shoot. Customer Service None Similar Products Used: Canon 35mm fixed focus |

Strength:
Small size, Zeiss lens, affordability.
Weakness:
Film rewind mechanism slow and loud, occasionally doesn't rewind film all of the way. Bought this camera mainly for price and reviews. Had too high of an expectation(used to my SLRs). The photos are still better then any other P&S I've used. Also dissapointed with the rewind mechanism. Good for snapshots. Customer Service Have not used yet.

Strength:
Compact, light. Sharp pictures. Best of all, the VALUE.
Weakness:
None. The BEST VALUE for P&S cameras. Quality is similar to my Contax SLR camera (also Zeiss lens). But of course the Contax can create more different pictures as you 'wish'. Zeiss lens plays a big part in the pictures. Shutter speed can be as fast as 1/500 sec and the exposure/focus system is quite good. It's a steal at under $200. Customer Service Not used.

Strength:
Accurate exposure with slide film, small and light, easy to use, and clear images! It uses a single CR123 battery with long life so that cost is minimized.
Weakness:
None after 3 years of use. It uses a fixed 35mm lens and is sharp and accurate with slide film. It is not a zoom but then it does not sacrifice image quality or lens speed that p&s zooms normally exhibit. It is pocket sized and uses a single battery. The waist level finder is fun to use too. It is not as convenient as having a zoom lens, but I find the image quality noticeably better than with p&s zooms. Similar Products Used: Pentax 928, Fuji Discovery |

The photos are always impressive. Simple, modest.Quick draw for social scenes.

Not fancy enough for the girls to strip. Otherwise none. A well-kept secret and a real gem. Cheap enough to keep one in the car. Often available for $150. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Point and shoot. No decisions. Pictures are crisp and in focus. Exposures are usually right.
Weakness:
Too wide angle for action photography. When subject fills picture it goes by too quickly. I'm still learning. I've had a lot of fun with this camera. I hope to have more. Customer Service No experience. Similar Products Used: None. |

Strength:
It fits in my pocket. Its photos are generally sharp. It only cost $150.
Weakness:
No... and I even dropped this camera twice onto the sidewalk. I really should sew that hole in my pocket. Great little travel camera for taking snapshots. Similar Products Used: Pentax UC-1 |
