Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $148.00 from Walmart

Summary:
This camera is going back to Walmart. We can''t figure out whether we got a "bad" camera or if the problems we experienced are inherent in this model. Primarily, the Auto Focus gave us lots of trouble. We took this camera to an Easter play that our children were in, and it could not give us focus on either child (even when our daughter was up close). We gave up and set the camera to infinity and crossed our fingers. Still waiting for that roll to come back, but we are not going to keep this camera. Not worth the trouble at this point.

Strengths:
We like its size, it''s zoom and the auto shut off feautre (after 3 min). Good price.

Weaknesses:
Buggy AF - Auto Focus. We were never sure if our picture was "right".

Similar Products Used:
Minolta Freedom Zoom, Canon AE-1 SLR

Customer Service:
Will be returning this camera
