Some blockchains, like Ethereum, support smart contracts—self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code. These enable more complex transactions and decentralized applications (dApps). Betting sites with VIP programs Weakness:

Strength:
Pleasant to use. Very good picture quality for the price.
Weakness:
Delicate, unreliable. I bought one of these, loved it, and bought another a few weeks later for my kids. After a few months one of the two cameras stopped working (wouldn't zoom or focus) and it took two tries and 4 months to get it back repaired. A few months after the warranties were up we had another major failure - don't know if it was the same camera that was already repaired once or its mate. Didn't think it was worth $85 (maybe more) to repair a $120 camera - so it's in the junk drawer now. It's a real pity - the pictures that it DID take were quite good. Customer Service Poor. Waited 8 weeks for Olympus to return the camera and they hadn't fixed it. After another 8 weeks it came back repaired.

Accura Zoom 80S
Strength:
Easy to use, takes lithium or AA batteries
Weakness:
Red eye reduction is a long series of flashes rather than one pre-flash. This is too distracting to get decent photos of young kids or babies! Adults should be instructed to hold pose until the real flash fires. I have ordered a new camera. The red-eye flash prevents me from getting any good pictures of my baby. Customer Service none needed yet Similar Products Used: Minolta Freedom Zoom (no problems) |

Strength:
I have an 80S.
Weakness:
First few rolls were weak so I switched to 800 speed film. Also delay between actually hitting the button and the photo taking. Never used the panaromic view. Find another camera! Don't waste your money on this one. Customer Service Haven't called since I had the camera for over one year Similar Products Used: many other point and shoot cameras |

Accura Zoom 80S
Strength:
My wife has an Accura Zoom 80 - not the 80S, but no doubt very similar. It is a capable zoom p&s, and has produced excellent images under a wide variety of situations. And you can use two AA batteries OR a Lithium cell - a nice convenience.
Weakness:
Two things I don't like: I love Olympus cameras in general, and the Accura 80 is a very nice instrument. While it's not supersharp, supersmall, or fast-lensed (like the Stylus Epic) it's a very good camera of its type. Customer Service While still under warranty, I had a problem and sent the camera back. They couldn't find anything wrong, but it came back quickly and has been working fine ever since. Similar Products Used: assorted P&S cameras going back to the first Nikon One Touch (a GREAT camera!) |

Weakness:
The camera has motor functions which cause the camera to not work at the most inopportune moments. The price of the camera may be low, but the quality is not worth the price. I am also having difficulity returning the camera. Similar Products Used: None |
