This camera is my secondary shooter in my arsinal. I mainly use it for taking snap shots and night time shots. A light camera that's easy to use, and to give to other people to take pictures of myself. The zoom on it is very handy.

Strengths:

- time it takes to actually fire off the shutter.

none required.

Review 3 of 7

Price Paid: $200.00 from Best Buy

Summary:

The camera was nice while it worked. Minoltas have a poor reliability record (check Consumer Reports). Next time, we will spend our $200 on a longer-lasting brand.

Strengths:

Nice picture quality.
Zoom is handy.
Quite a few features.

Weaknesses:

Broke after 4 years --- $90 to fix it at factory, with only a 6-month warranty on repairs.
Most of the features went unused by us amateurs.

Similar Products Used:

None

Customer Service:

Acceptable, though a bit impatient with questions.

Review 4 of 7

Price Paid: $120.00 from Best Buy

Summary:

I hadn't took many photos - since I gave it away - for at least price range, and quality, I would say, it's Ok for a camera handy for simple use.

Strengths:

I bought this camera for a gift. While I used it for couple role. It takes great pictures outdoor - but limit itself in indoor shooting, even with flash-in mode, the pictures came out little blury and lifeless. I would recommend for outdoor photography and indoor with superv lighting.

Weaknesses:

None

Similar Products Used:

Canon, Vivitar, and Yashica (manual SLR).

Customer Service:

None.

Review 5 of 7

Price Paid: $100.00 from photoalley.com

Summary:

Buy this camera if you want to take crystal clear pictures easly. It can take pictures in the dark and outdoors. Buy the Kodak Royal gold 400 speed flim and take pictures with this camera. You will love it. This camera has a night photo mode, flash cancel mode, self timer, landscape mode, and a lot more.

Strengths:

The camera has a great compact zoom. It is very light weight and it can take great pictures. The camera is great for me because it is portable.

Weaknesses:

The camera's zoom doesn't go that far and SLR cameras are a lot better because I have one with a 800mm zoom.

Similar Products Used:

At Bestbuy I tried the Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom and Canon cameras.

Customer Service:

Great
