Summary: Great Gift
Review: I bought this camera for my father. He loves gadgets and photography, but has been unable to use his SLR cameras since his stroke. The two huge buttons that control zoom are perfect for him. Very intuitive. Very convenient. Takes great pictures! He loves it. Why only 4 stars? APS film capability would make it 5 stars.

Summary: A Satisfied Customer Review
Review: I brought this camera sometime in July/August 2000. I have been using this camera for more than 2 years now. I tested it first when I went to Disneyland, LA. The pictures were awesome. I even got some great pictures of the Fireworks at the Cindrella castle. This camera is a beautiful piece and the pictures come fantastic.

The features are great. The zoom in / zoom out button on the front are more ergonomic and easier to use than the other ( Olumpus ) camera''s. It has all the features you might need for your everyday picture needs. Panoramic view and the other some times used features are missing, but I never bothered for them too. Day and Night time pictures come fantastic. I had a SLR camera earlier and this camera gavis me sharp and nice pictures just like the SLR camera. Mine had a date feature which is also very very easy to set/change.

Batttery life is excellent.

In sumary, I got what i was looking for. Its an excellent camera and I am really happy with this piece.

Summary: Lost Memories
Review: I gave my wife a Sureshot 85 for Christmas. The picture quality was fair. The subjects were ghostly white from a flash that was too strong. We took pictures of my daughters first ski lessons. The camera would not work with the lens fully extended. All pictures taken with the lens extended were blurred. The same thing happened at my daughters birthday party the following week. The pictures were blurred or undstinguishable at any setting when the zoom lens was used. I'm loking for a new camera. It won't be a Canon!

Summary: Excellent Pictures
Review: I had a Pentax earlier and it was good. But this is much better. Easy to use and I just developed my first set of photographs and they are awesome. Especially the photograph of a sunset.

Summary: Pictures not as sharp as a Nikon
Review: I have been very disappointed with the picture quality of this camera. Compared to my old Nikon Zoomtouch 70, the pictures, in general, are not as sharp although they are perfectly focused.

I would rate the picture quality of this camera, no better than those $10 disposal cameras.

Also, the date resets each time you change the main battery, unlike Nikon which has its own internal battery to maintain dates and time.

Summary: Very easy, lots of features
Review: I needed an easy camera with a zoom that was still smallish. This camera is so very easy, it took about one night of playing around to figure out the different flash settings, but the zoom is so easy, nice big buttons, right where your fingers would go. Very easy, affordable camera with a zoom (vs. the Elph, which didn't have a zoom in the same price range, and this one is not much bigger).

Summary: Good Camera
Review: I really do like this camera. The zoom features are easy to use and the different flash settings are a big help. The only drawback? NO DATE STAMP! I ordered this even though another reviewer had said each time you change the battery you have to reset the date. There is no date function on it.

Otherwise it would be a five!
