I bought this camera just before a trip to the Galapagos where I knew I would be taking hundreds of photos and didn't have time to test it out by making a roll, before i left After reading the instructions in my usual fluent way, I took 8 rolls of film and the photos were excellent. I found it easy, simple to set up and configure and the results are just amazing. A great camera for "lightweights" who are used to the old, cumbersome manual SLR cameras that none of us carry with us anymore. Bought it in a case. The only complaint I have is that the lens cap doesn't snap open securely and keeps falling off for my colleagues to walk behind me to pick it up. I need to get the mounting ring so it doesn't fall off when loosening.
