i love my camera2002-02-19
incredibly durable camera2001-05-12Beyond being very durable - probably related to its boxy design (the Volvo of cameras?) - the zoom is actually helpful, even if it only has 4 settings (38, 45, 52, & 60) and the LCD displays the number of pictures taken plus the strength of the battery (what else do you really need?). The camera has the five requisite settings: auto, auto with red-eye, with flash, without flash, and self-timer. The second flash to compensate for the red-eye does a wonderful job - I have had several portraits at close range with little to no red eye effect. Other normal features include a tripod whole plus a manual rewind button on the bottom plus a view to the film canister on the back in case you forget what type of film you put in the camera.
It's basically all you need in a compact zoom camera for a low price, plus did I mention it takes great pictures? Too bad it's out of stock.
