Small, compact, light, and gorgeous. The easiest camera I have ever used. Cant beat the three year warranty.

So small you might lose it

The best APS camera out there. Perfect flash uniformity, so small I dont think twice about taking it with me EVERYWHERE!!! Thank you Konica.

Canon Elph 2- Still grainy, more red eye than before.
Pentax Efina- Next best but bigger

Small, light but well made, attractive design, easy to use, lens reasonably fast at wide end (f/4). Nice velvety pouch.
Good feature list including night mode, infinity, +1.5ev exposure compensation, usual flash modes, shutter range 2-1/500 secs.
Produces great results (for an APS zoom). Low-light shots very good too.

Flash results are very good, but flash reach and coverage aren't too good (dark corners). No worse than most tiny compacts though.
Shutter release a little trigger-happy.
Lens is slow at full-zoom (f/7.6). Red-eye occasionally a problem.

This is an excellent camera if you don't expect too much from it. You can carry it anywhere without even knowing it's there, and the results show good sharpness and contrast, and the AF and metering are absolutely spot-on. My Ricoh eats it alive but what would you expect?! More interestingly, it's photos are much better than the ones my friends get from their APS cameras (see above). The L1/Jr betters it for edge-to-edge sharpness but exposures are everywhere. The Vectis 300 and Ixus/Elph have softer lenses and easy-to-fool metering.
If you must have a cheap, tiny APS zoom then I heartily recommend it. If you can live with a bigger camera though, avoid APS altogether!

Just about the the smallest APS out there with a zoom. Beats the Elph due to the fact that the pop up flash on the original Elph I often breaks. The pop up flash blocks also blocks somewhat acess to mode buttons on the top of the Elph and can be hit by fingers. The Revio has all this on the rear, not the top. Instead of an icon changing, the Revio has all the available icon features on a screen all the time and a little triangle pointer that moves when you push the mode button. Much more user friendly and ergonomic. Best thing about the Revio is the view finder window much larger than the Elph and easier to use if you are near sighted or wear glasses.

Slow speed lens which lose a stop when extended to zoom. But this is true of all zoom lens. Because of the small compact size of the camera, they could not put a faster lens in because it would be larger in diameter. Also to keep lens quality, it is easier with a small aperture. With the Z2 you can rewind the film, but not reload the film. You can with the Z3! Like all APS cameras, don't expect great quality prints past 5x7, but at that size they look fantastically sharp!

I gave it 4 thumbs up because nothing is perfect. I am a professional photographer. I have taken over 40 rolls of film and am delighted with this camera. I am upgrading to the Z3. In regards to the problem of slow focus time missing decisive moments: all auto focus camera, they all have a lag time between pushing the shutter and actual moment of snapping the photograph.

I have spoken to the folks in their Tech/Repair department and they are nothing short of great. Same goes for their photo lab. The camera has a design flaw with the battery connection which has shorted out three times. Once the lens cover blades closed slow.
Have sent in 3 time. Never the less, I love this camera and will bear with any problems.

I ran an accurate lens sharpness test on a tripod along with the original Canon Elph I which has the same zoom range len

small,light,easy to use

it is a little bit hard to peer through the lens if you know what i mean.

picture are a lot blur on, but that can depends on the people developing the film. Picture are colorful. Like watching through brown sunglasses. But i think also that dependes of them developing my film (kodak). Picturequality is overall very good. I am very glad with the camera

lightweight, robust body (for a small camera), good pictures for APS, useful zoom range

little hard to peer through the viewer, flash weak

A very attractive camera that produces consistently good pictures, if you forget that it's an APS for a moment. I do not like the viewer, whoever had the glorious idea to put it in the middle and not to the left as any other camera does, wasn't very smart. Try to look through the viewer and then touch the zoom, you will poke your right eye out, almost. Also, don't like the design of the on/off button, very cheap. And the opening button for the film isn't much better either.
In general, if you overlook a few details, it's a very nice camera and a very good value for less than $100!

Canon Elph LT - absolutely anb inferior product. never got a single sharp picture out of it

Light, easy to use, very compact, pleased with pictures taken

It takes about 5 seconds to get ready to take the next photo so if your daughter only smiles when she sees the flash, you can't capture the smile.

Also, the focus lock feature is tricky to use (depress the button half-way, move the camera and fully depress the button). It is all too easy to take the snap too early.

A worthy purchase. Convenient and good quality

Price, size, format, ease of operation, Konica's reputation.

Sometimes the red eye feature doesn't work.

The price makes the Revio a bargain. It is the easiest operating APS P&S Zoom on the market. While the new Canon Elph 2 makes superior photos and has several additional features, its controls are annoying. The Revio is more than adequate, particularly in low light with 400 film. Non-flash portraits are quite good with any speed of film. It's so simple, a child can take decent pictures. It's so small, I carry it in my pocket wherever I go. The one word to describe the Revio is convenient.
