Summary: Buy a Disposable over this
Review: Very disappointed. The pictures are focused incorrectly. The flash is off so that half the picture gets the flash light and the other half is in a shadow. My disposable cameras take better pictures. I was hoping for a very simple camera that took better than disposable camera quality pictures. Very disappointed.

Summary: a decent camera with exotic film demands
Review: We bought this camera after Consumer Reports gave it a Best Buy rating, and because we'd had an older Canon SureShot which had recently died after 7 years of very good service.I was initially disturbed to find that the camera requires DX-coded film. I usually order my film from a mail order supplier and they do not carry DX film which, from what I've been able to discover, means that there is more information bar coded onto the canister. This I could live without. However, the manual tells you that it's possible to use regular film though it may be a little more difficult to load, and furthermore it will always register as ISO 25 (not 100 or 200 or 400)! I was pretty unhappy about all this. We bought some DX film and had it developed, taking pictures in many different circumstances -- indoors/outdoors, with/without flash, articial/natural light, etc. The results were very good in all conditions.
Next, we loaded regular Kodak film (ISO 200). I could not get the film to load. I placed the reel in with various lengths of film exposed but that didn't help. I tried to depress the shutter button as recommended in the manual, but that did not help. My husband got the film to load on the first try. (I believe this is because I had warmed it up for him.) Again we took pictures in many circumstances and the quality, surprisingly, was fine. The features offered work well. The manual is good. Also, the battery is much more reasonable than previous batteries, which cost about [price]. I would say the only problem withe this camera, as with its predecessor, is a sluggish zoom mechanism. A very good camera at a good price.

Summary: Mine died just after the warranty expired
Review: What's worse it seems to have happened just before I left on vacation. I got home and developed 3 rolls of film - all badly out of focus (double 4x6 inch prints). The repair would cost more than a replacement so I just tossed the stupid thing, along with all my vacation photos in the trash. Sheesh! I'll try another brand next time.
