Teli Reviews

This is my second sure shot camera, I don't think there is a better compact camera for the money. Shot two roles so far, pictures are very good. Not as clear as my Nikon SLR but it is more veratile. Dual focus lense is not a problem with me, how many times do you need something between a 35mm and 80 mm shot? What the dual focus allows is a better quality lense and cheaper price. Clear shots and great color. Easy to use but not as compact as some others. If you need a cheap camera but don't want cheap looking pictures check it out. In fact probably as cheap as some disposables, but you won't throw this one away.

i was very surprised to read the negative reviews of this camera. in reading them i also realize these people didn't actually use the camera and judge it by the pictures. my husband and i are photographers and realize that all the extra perks and gadgets of a camera are not as important as the quality of a great shot. one of the best things about this camera is that it is not a zoom lens (it also does not advertise to be one) it is a dual lense which allows two settings instead of one but with a better quality lens. zoom cameras give you an in-between range and for that exact reason has a lower quality lens. we use this camera as a simple point and shoot to capture spur of the moment activities...view for yourself. we love this camera and i shopped all over for a dual lens instead of a zoom and this was the only one i could find.

My first Canon is the origianl Sure Shot ($2 on ebay). It has dual lens of 28/48. This camera took the best quality pics!!!!!! (this was going from a Minolta zoom). So I decided to try this tele for a longer distance ($8.99 on ebay). Of course, great quality pics too!!! I also have a Pentax IQ zoom 160 (never ever had any pics turn out blurry till this camera)...still get better pics from my simple, tele Canons. Also have Canon Sure Shot zoom 105, again, still better quality pics then the Pentax, but not as good as the dual lens cameras.....
So, what I can figure, is the simplicity of these dual lens cameras leads to better quality pics. They dont offer as many photo modes as some of the others, but you will get better quality pics all of the time, not just some of the time. You cant go wrong with one of these.
