Strength:

Great zoom. Comfortable. Easy to use. Great features.

Weakness:

OVEREXPOSURE.

As with the other reviewer, my wife and I have had consistent troubles with overexposure in our pictures. We have tried various films: Kodak and Fuji 100, 200, 400, and Kodak 800 yet haven''t been able to tame the problem. We even had our camera replaced (extended warranty) in case it was a fault with just the particular one we bought. It wasn''t.

Strength:

Fast Zoom,
Easy to handle,
Lightweight,
Good Red-eye reduction
Batterry still good after 7 rolls of film

Weakness:

Overexposes frequently with 1-2 F stops

Good camera for indoor photography, even if the flash is a little too hard. I've taken 7 rolls of film, of which 3 by night, outdoors, and 4 by day, outdoors and indoors.
Indoors it was very fine. Red-eye reduction worked very fine. By night it worked excellent, with some problems (overexposure) when using the flash. Great dissapointment however at seeing the landscape results, which were overexposed with at least 1 F stop (and I tried it with Konica 200, Fuji Superia 200 and 400 -the results were the same), if shot under rather simple lightning, thus loosing much of their range of colors and contrast.
Botom line: take this camera for your night photos, but be VERY careful if you want to shoot landscapes of outdoor scenes, especially under complex lightning.

Customer Service

Never needed.
