Film-Camera Reviews

I bought this camera in July 2003. It stopped working October 2003. To be more specific, the display on the back went on the fritz. Canon suggested we remove the battery & try to reset the memory. No luck. So I will be sending it in for a warranty repair. I'll let you know how I make out.
Well, it cost [$$$] to ship it to Canon. Now they want [$$$] to fix it. [...] So I don't recommend this camera nor will I replace it with a Canon.

After doing a bit of research, I decided to buy this camera. After 6 months and dozens of rolls of film, I'd have to say this was NOT a good buy for me.

First, I'll admit the outdoor shots are wonderful! Very full of color -- very vibrant -- the only reason this camera is getting its 3 starts.

Unfortunately, I'm extremely disappointed in the quality of the prints that I have taken indoors. My indoor shots are lacking much of the vibrancy that I see in the outdoor shots. And the red-eye feature... it stinks! I use red-eye reduction 99% of the time when indoors, and 95% of my indoor pics have horrible red eye! I have compared this with other pics I have taken at the same time with another cheaper Kodak camera, and the pics taken with the SureShot are definitely of lesser quality -- both in red eye reduction and color/crispness.

On another note... This camera does have a number of features. The display on the back of the camera where these can be manipulated is easy to use. My complaint here is that the "dial" can easily be moved. So, putting the camera in my purse or handling it has sometimes turned the dial to an unwanted setting.

I love my Canon. I'd marry it if it weren't against God's law.

I have one of these Canon Snappy camera's.... and I am very pleased with the photo's I have got with this camera. You cant go wrong, buying this camera, except that it is zoomless, and you need a good expensive film, for best results.

The Canon Snappy is compact, takes brilliant and sharp pictures (it has a high quality lens), and the auto-manual flash feature is very useful, but the lens cover tends to fall when you pull it to start shooting photographs, this is very unpleasant when you are climbing a mountain or crossing a river. The worst thing with this terrible design problem is that the lens cover is also the ¡MAIN SWITCH!, so if the cap disapears, you will be unable to turn the device off and protect the lens. It is very difficult to put the cover in the camera again. The Snappy works well in domestic situations but I would better buy the NIKON NICE TOUCH.
