Customer Reviews

Wonderful camera for basic needs
Got this camera in 1999 and it is still doing very well! More than 3000 great pictures have been taken. The camera is very easy to use and needs no maintenance. A word of caution - ensure that the camera doesn't get pressurized laterally - this can happen if it is stuffed in a bag and someone sleeps over it. The spring-operated shutter is very sensitive.

Would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a cost-effective and easy-to-use film camera.

camera for the dummies
I like this camera. I took it to Ireland with me and we just snapped away. I took the film to a cheap department store to get it processed and the pictures are wonderful. They are clear and persise. If I loose this camera or drop it I won't have a heart attack. It didn't cost that much to begin with. I run though the batteries a little sooner. But this is because I play with the zoom lens a lot. It's just a nice little camera that I can pack around and not worry to much about. The pictures are great....

oops! -- mind that battery!
One of the reasons I bought this camera was the description of the power source: "Requires two AA batteries--included". I was sick of buying expensive cells at a camera store, and I always have a sleeve of AA batts around the house. Sounded great.

Oops! When the camera arrived and I opened the battery door, there was nothing inside, and when I checked the manual I learned that no AA's need apply. Back to the camera store! Ten bucks for a pair of lithium cells.

A battery, says the manual, should be good for ten rolls of film. So add that to the lifetime cost of the camera.

It's a neat little camera, and I'm not planning to return it. But I was a wee bit disappointed.
