Strength:

The midroll change is very easy to use.

Weakness:

If there is not much light, sometimes it is difficult to determine the picture outline in the view finder.

I would definitely buy this camera again.
I have used it in many different situations and have gotten great results.

Model Reviewed: Pronea 6i/600i

Strength:

APS film system; allows mid-roll changes and protects the negatives. Uses F-mount lenses. Very versatile, but can be used in the "point-and-shoot" mode.

Weakness:

APS film system (and I'm not goint to get into _that_ debate). Major problem is lack of viewfinder masking when changing picture format. It's too easy to get excited about a picture and not notice the little red arrowheads.

I love this camera, but I wouldn't buy it if I had it to do over again. That viewfinder masking problem has forced me to select the H format and just keep it there.

Model Reviewed: Pronea 6i/600i

Strength:

The Pronea 6i is a great camera with many features. The mid roll change and back printing is a valuable feature of APS. Large LCD back panel that illimunates is easy to use.

Weakness:

The main problem is not with the camera but with the lack of APS film stocks.

I would recommend anyone considering buying a SLR to give the Pronea 6i the consideration of at least a careful look. For the masses I believe the conviences and quality will win over many 35mm die hards, if they look at the camera with an open mind. We can only hope that more film stocks are produced for the format.
