Price Paid:  $120.00 from aaacamera.com

Summary:
Quite good for beginning photographers and comes with a handy remote. Svelt package makes up for mechanical issues.

Strengths:
Sorry to all who saw this review in the "Efina J" section, I was confused. That being said. Small size and settings dial are convenient. APS features are great. Good quality pics in good light.

Weaknesses:
The flash is very poor and mine ceased to collapse after about six months of use. High latency between pressing shutter and actual picture taken. Performs poorly in low-light conditions.

Very disappointed. Terrible picture and color quality. Not worth the money. There are much better APS cameras out there for around the same price. Try the Rollei Nano80-- Great camera for only a little more money.

Strengths:
Small size
Quick flash regeneration

Weaknesses:
Complicated settings
Terrible color distortion

Price Paid:  $240.00 from Good Guys

Summary:
This is an okay camera for someone who is not too serious about pictures (might be worth it for the price now - but definitely not the original $200+ price tag). Our camera broke within the 1st year, only after 8 rolls of film, so here we are looking for a new one.

Strengths:
small; lots of features; lightweight

Weaknesses:
lots of features that are not really that necessary; some grainy shots; blurry unless held perfectly still (remember this, if you have someone taking pictures for you)

Customer Service:
By the time this camera broke we didn't bother fixing it (even though it was under warranty) because we were so frustrated with it we didn't want it anymore. So we never had to deal with Customer Service.
