Revainrating 5 out of 5

What a great little camera

Takes great pictures. Survive the fall onto the sidewalk (drops from 2 feats off the bench). Withstands rain with no problems. Still takes great pictures. The small size is great and easy to use. The editor's review says the battery compartment is difficult to open - it's counterintuitive from the direction of the arrow (it looks straight), but look at the rear legs and you'll understand. The viewfinder is tiny but works great. The small size of the camera allows you to get 2-3 additional shots from a 24-frame roll, since there is no need to unroll the film at all to cross the camera body :) It's so small that it fits into the second fits the camera compartment of the camera bag that I bought for it. Zoom is awesome. It's supposed to be 2.2x zoom, but a non-zoom 35mm lens is 0.45x, so you're actually getting 4x zoom compared to a non-zoom 35mm wide-angle lens. This is the best value for your money. If you need more zoom, get a professional camera, but with that much cash ($200+) it's time to go digital. This is the perfect camera for me when I travel to Los Angeles and shoot LA Galaxy (Soccer MLS) players.

Pros
  • 38 80mm 2x autofocus lens
Cons
  • Almost never
