Film-Camera Reviews

Fuji makes great film that has natural-looking colors, and the price is always better than Kodak. I usually buy Kodak because I prefer buying American when the quality and price differences aren't so large. But for shooting nature, I do have a slight preference for Fuji.

I used this camera for the first time while learning to snorkel.

I was surprised at how nice they turned out. I put these pics (turned digital) on a travel web site which received raves.

Nice to give to the kids too. they float if you loose them and the colors are really good.

These disposable cameras are great. I tend to prefer the APS versions because the negatives stay in the canister, and they come with an index print. The advanced APS features that require the camera to "talk" to the film won't work on these disposable models, but you do get the built-in panoramic photo option, and the picture quality is quite reasonable. Try one and I'm sure you'll like it. Also makes a great gift for young kids who might drop a camera accidently. You probably don't want to find that out with a $200 camera. :)

If I had had the chance to use this camera for a day or two before I bought it, it wouldn't have been "bought". It really is just for snapshots of birthday parties and wading pools. Black and White photos were a disappointment--the color was all off. Enlargements were not sharp and landscapes or distance photos were ill defined. I wouldn't buy it again--which means that I will be buying something else soon, so it was a waste of money.

I'd recommend this camera to everyone. It's simple to use and makes a great entry camera for anyone that has been considering getting a new one. However, it still gives good results so even the demanding photographer can be pleased with what comes out. I've got a decent 35mm setup (body and several lenses, etc) but if I don't want to take it with me, this pocket size wonder is what I pick up.

The camera's layout is good, all the functionality you need, and the ease of use of and APS system camera. The zoom (about 35-80 in 35mm terms) has a good range and even the flash seems strong for such a small body.

It'd make a great gift for anyone.

Fuji did it again...offering it's high-caliber photo technology with the use of APS film. I checked out all major brands, and the reason why I chose Fuji was: Price/value. The Zoom can't be beaten. As for the photo quality, it's fantastic. If you're looking for a fairly priced APS camera with all of the great features such as zoom, this is the one to buy.

This will be my first and last APS camera. The quality of pictures is terrible compared with even a cheap 35 mm camera. The picture quality reminded me of the old Compact Disc cameras of the 80's. The main reason I bought this camera was to take panoramic pictures easily with the regular 4x6 size, but I have already sent this camera back for a refund. Instead, I decided to use my old 35mm zoom camera for the 4x6's and buy a disposable APS for the panoramics, because the picture quality is the same. Also, the quartz date didn't work on the front. The only thing good I can say about this camera was the small size.

After doing extensive research before making this purchase, we have been satisfied with the picture quality. The focus and colors are sharp. However, the flash malfunctioned after less than 6 months.

As far as ease of use, overall it is not bad, but subjects are difficult to line up in the viewfinder.

Compared to others on the market, it is loaded with features (as long as it works). We won't be buying another Fuji again in the near future.

A final warning to those considering the APS format- film and processing costs are considerably higher per roll vs. 35mm.

My complaint is with the viewfinder. I, and everyone else who's used my camera, find it hard to keep the subject in sight. You have to keep moving it around to get the image back. Meanwhile, the bird you're trying to photograph has moved.
Also, it's awkward to have the flash pop up from the top left corner. You have to move your fingers out of the way.
Would I buy it again? Nope.

I bought this camera as a rush purchase to go on a weeked trip. Due the fact that my Kodak T550 was left at home. I know Aps cameras my not produce the greastest images blown up but I like them. I used my head and while I was there I took a test roll and got them developed at a local store in an hour. I was already uneasy with the half-way decent quality of the pictures then and by the time I went through 7 rolls of film I was really on edge. I got back home and over 60% of my pictures came out dull, underexposed, and just awful. So I took my negative to an additional two other film proccessors and some of my pictures came out better but not by much. I've only been taking pictures for 5 years and I don't claim to know it all, but I really have come to dislike this camera. The only 'strenghs' to the camera are its looks and the LCD glow-type button function. While it wasn't acting like a camera with astigmatism(which I have) the pictures came out great.
