Summary: This is the worst camera I have ever purchased!
Review: It has a sharp lens and lots of advanced features ("B" shutter speed, slow-synch flash, etc.) for the entry-level price. I've always lugged around an SLR with extra lenses, but this summer I got one of these for my daughter before we went to Washington, DC. I ended up using the EZY-R more than my big Nikon -- and the photos I took (mostly daylight scenics and family snapshots) came out just as good as the Nikon's. It does have the same limitations as any [similar] camera, but I think it's a good product if you know those limitations.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good for the money

Summary: I wish I had spent a little more.
Review: The only reason I am generous enough to give this camera a "3" is because it is my own fault for not spending more and getting a better camera to begin with.

When my son was born 15 months ago, I wanted a simple camera that I didn't have to fool around with. My husband has a nice SLR, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a second camera. Now 15 months later, I wish I had. My basic complaints: focus not great; film advance is horrendous (I usually have to cut the film at different angles just to make the camera advance it); centering subjects is often a pain.

Needless to say, I am going out this weekend and buying a new camera. I wish that I had listened to what my father always told me: "Buy the best you can in the beginning. You'll be thankful later."
