APS-Camera Reviews

I am not sure if it's the camera or ASP film but the pics the camera took were on par with a cheap 35mm camera. I tried ASP film from both Fuji and Kodak 100,200,400. Before this camera I had an Olympus Stylus Zoom. Now that was an excellent P&S camera. This is my first Leica, they are suppose to be good, but I don't know. The camera looks great, a little bulky but unfortunately I cannot recommend it.

I try to stay away from APS in general. It was a gift from me for my mom since she wanted small easy camera with an average zoom. It's a simple design with suprisingly good picture quality. Automatic flash does the great job in mixed lighting environment. Pictures are sharp and crisp. Color saturation is outstanding. Even if APS film is limited and negative size is smaller than regular 35mm film I was really amazed by the quality. My mom who is not the most technical person had no problems operating the controls or loading the camera. It was a piece of cake for her in no time. Also very nice weatherproof box that came with the camera protected the piece in the rain. Leica did a really nice job and even if the camera is little bigger than elphs and nikon nuvis it is worth every penny.

I very rearly shoot with point and shoots I prefer medium format cameras as well as 35mm SLRs but about now Im thinking about getting one of those Leicas as my pocket snap shot/ location scout piece.

When I saw this camera for the first time I was probably the victim of irrational thought processes, seduced by the stylish minimalism and the Leica Logo of course.

However, after almost a year of use I have been really impressed by how easy it is to take good quality snaps. I always use good quality 400 and 800 film to avoid the use of flash and regularly load up with Kodak B&W 400 Advantix for excellent Black and white shots.

I have taken school sports day photos, holiday snaps, B&W panoramic landscapes on misty mornings in Cornwall and party snaps / candids and all types of photos between. The Leica performs without fuss, is easy to use, has incredible battery life and looks stunning. The case is virtually waterproof (heavy shower resistant anyway) and tough. The Fuji mechanism and lens is smooth and has never failed. Superb.

(I also use Minolta SLRs , Ricoh GR1s and Yashica T5 compacts and the Leica C11 stands up well in this company.)

This is a GREAT camera!The author is a serious advanced amateur, having two Hasselblads, a 4x5 rail camera, Canon EOS 3, Leica M3, 25+ lenses, etc. Did I mention a Nikon Coolpix 800? So, where does the C11 fit in? NOTHING is as small and light. This camera is about the size of a deck or cards! The lens is great for the 4x6 prints (if I want 16x20, there are better choices). But it is great for snapshots! Why is it better than the Coolpix? Better lens resolution AND the batteries aren't always dead!
The flash works well to about ten feet. You can just pick this up, turn it on, and take a nice photo in about three seconds. I have lots of cameras that can take good photos, but it takes half and hour to get ready.This camera is easy to hold (I really like the round bulge on the side, very gripable). All the unique APS features are present (panorama mode, date, mid-roll change, etc.).I bought this for my mother-in-law and had to get one for myself! You rarely go wrong with a Leica product; the C11 is another winner!

I bought this camera because I have been switching back and forth between a Pentax zoom camera I won in a drawing and my six-year-old date-stamp Konica. I had finally had it. I wanted a camera that could zoom AND date stamp at the same time without me having to resort to my digital camera all the time. I'm a member of Amex's membership rewards program and one of their rewards is this camera. I compared it with the other Konica cameras of its caliber. I researched it in contrast to other companies' offerings for similar systems. .... I received the camera right before we went on vacation to CA. Can I just say that I *LOVE* this camera! It's light, easy to use, and takes great photos! The only way they could make it better would be if it had greater zoom capacity and I could see the photo before it was written to the film. If you're on a tight budget, yet don't want your camera to look like you are, then this is the camera for you. And if you can use gift certificates and coupons to get it through Amazon.com, all the better!!

I got rid of my manual 35mm camera, and wanted a fully automatic 35mm, but didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars. This was the answer to my prayers. This camera is fully automatic, and has the features I wanted, such as Red-Eye Reduction, Date/Time stamp, remote control. It has a lot more features that I honestly have not used yet. I love taking pictures, so I am going to study up what those features are. The camera really comes through if you are in a dark place (like a reception), and you use 800 speed film. You can zoom across the room, and it's a great picture. Actually, this takes a beautiful picture in any setting (I typically use 400 film). I see they came out with 170 zoom, which I will buy in a couple of years. But for now, my Knoica's great!

My friend borrowed this camera from me and just loved it. So far I have not heard a complaint. When I do use it myself, I shall let readers know.

I tried the Elph 370 and the cheaper Elph but this camera is better than both. Small, easy to use, easier film-loading, longer battery life, more features, much more attractive than the cheap looking Elph 370. All three however, aren't particularly good with red-eye(hey, it ain't a 500 dollar SLR!), other than that, a great camera... Selecting a different flash or camera mode was easier than the Elphs also. For the casual photographer, it is a steal. It fits in your pocket, has a 3x zoom, and it has a small plastic camera attachment for a self-portrait, but what would I want that for? Maybe you could use that.

... i recieved it yesterday. I love it! Its easy to use and is tiny. The buttons are not too small.... The zoom is great. It has a remote and this cute little mirror that goes on top so you can take self-portrates. The flash is very strong... I would compare this camera to an Elph, but with better zoom and a remote.

This is a very small camera. But if you like first class pictures, this camera is probably not the best choice. In tele zoom mode the picture quality is ok. But in wide angle mode and especially with flash the corners of the pictures are gettig quite dark.

My sister bought this camera and I've used it a lot, it's great to have your pictures with dates so you can organize your albums cronologically. Also, this APS system is perfect for those extra lerge photos in which you don't want to miss a bit. I recomend this camera, it's a great value from a good brand.

I got this camera because it's the lightest and smallest camera I could find with a zoom; a key for a climbing camera. It does not seem as rugged as some APS cameras and it doesn't have splash proof. I'm a little worried about dust and water but it's little size makes up for it. The zoom is an improvement over my last APS camera because it helps enlarge the size of the climbers on the rock. It fits in my shirt pocket with no problem and seconds as a nice travel camera. It takes decent picture in comparison to other APS cameras as well as all the other common features.
