Canon Sure Shot Z180u Date Kit

My last Canon 35 mm point-and-shoot was the 115U, which took great photos but couldn't take a joke, as it quit working after falling onto an asphalt parking lot in Ireland this past summer. So far, I have only put one roll of film through the 180U, but the picture quality is at least as good as the 115U. Two concerns: The camera is quite bulky (thickness); and Canon recommends 400-speed film which is grainier than the 200-speed that I prefer. Having owned a Nikon F4 SLR and complete complement of Nikon lenses for years, I find that the 115U/180U and a Canon 370Z APS are ideal travel cameras and take great pictures under pretty much all conditions. Some of the photos that I have taken with these cameras will be used as illustrations in college textbooks. I really wanted to rate the 180U at 4-1/2 stars, but could only choose between 4 and 5 stars.

I am not into digital, and I wanted a new 35mm. The camera is very user friendly, and I am learning to make really good photographs with it. It was in perfect condition...still in the pack. The leather case is a great asset too.

I was looking for the longest 35mm film zoom camera that was available for sale to the average person. I own a Konica 35mm film SLR camera with removable lenses, but, I wanted a long range zoom camera for the convience factor. The Canon Z180u zoom camera has the longest zoom lenses available for sale; 38mm to 180mm. It has many options--flash or no flash; manual or automatic; "redeye" reduction; date imprint to include year, month, day, hour and minute. Compact,sturdy, well made, durable, with a nice camera case, multi-language instructions, and an automatic lenses cover when the camera is turned off. The camera is easy to use and after a few minutes of reading the instructions, almost anyone should have no trouble taking pictures like a professional. The eyepiece to look at the subject being photographed is excellent. Canon is trusted name in cameras and the Z180u lives up to the reputation. Due to the fact that digital is rapidly replacing film, this camera is becoming very hard to find. I got mine at Cameforless in New York City, NY USA through Amazon. Com. I recommend highly the Canon Sure Shot Z180u Date Camera, Cameforless, and Amazon. This is a great camera for those film pictures that range from close-up to long-range. Get it while you can, because when they are gone, that's it.

This is an excellent film camera with a long zoom that comes in handy. I have had pictures developed in digital format (on CD) that rival a good digital camera. Having the date imprinted on your photos is a nice feature to help you remember when they were taken, years later. The only difficulty I have had is that the camera does not seem to accept 800 speed film. However, it works just fine with 200 or 400 speed.

I just bought this camera before making a trip to Disney and I absolutely love it. My pictures were just beautiful. They were very clear and very sharp. This is a really nice camera for anyone.
