Canon Sure Shot 35mm2008-12-18
What? Stuff
The Canon Sure shot is the finest of all the film compacts. For two years, the Canon Sureshot was my mainstay. Simple in design and function, this camera provides dependable sure shots. The self-timer comes in handy.
Great Camera except for the special batteries2007-10-10
Great Camera for the price, especially if you're not into digitals; which I believe is the better way to go. Note the special batteries.
Good basic P+S2007-09-11
Decent amount of options, good lens quality, but do wish it had exposure compensation and spot metering, I've found many lighting situations where this camera could have used those features. Also wish the lens were a little wider angle so found a used Canon Z90W.
Poor picture quality2007-04-17
Better late than never with my review I guess. You get what you pay. The price was cheap but the picture quality was very poor. Even in bright outdoor situations, the pictures were under exposed and grainy. Really disappointed with this and we ended up buying a new camera soon afterwards.
Buy a Disposable over this2003-11-18
Very disappointed. The pictures are focused incorrectly. The flash is off so that half the picture gets the flash light and the other half is in a shadow. My disposable cameras take better pictures. I was hoping for a very simple camera that took better than disposable camera quality pictures. Very disappointed.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present.
