from Boots Summary: I read the other reviews here and went for this camera after having considered a number of others including Pentax Espios.
After 2 films I''m now going back to SLR for image sharpness. This camera, though easy to use and low price didn''t give me better results than an old compact 35mm (Hanimex, over 20 years old) which I''ve had to recently retire due to a problem with its shooting button.
This Canon gave pretty average results all round - colours not too vibrant in the mid range, sharpness of image was pretty poor. I also found the lens, even when not in wide angle, still flattened out mountains to make grand peaks mere mole hills! ("It took you all day to walk up that", friends say with a puzzled look on their face!)
To cap it all, despite extremely careful use, part of the hinge on the back (where the film is loaded) has fallen off. If the other part of the hinge falls off, I''ll be forced to bin the camera. Strengths: Ease of use.
Low price. Weaknesses: Flimsy.
Average all round results - colour reproduction, not pin sharp pictures, non wide angle setting still flattens out mountain shots. Similar Products Used: An old Hanimex compact 35mm.
Pentax Program A SLR (also pretty ancient) Customer Service: Will soon find out.
