Strength:

Very capable and flexible camera - can be simple point and shoot for street photography or can cope with a variety of situations thanks to its array of features. Very good and reassuring build quality .

Weakness:

For a compact camera - no obvious weaknesses.

Strength:

perfect pocket camera not too heavy and the picture quality is outstanding. vario-apogon lens makes all the difference captions and date stamp are nice too

Weakness:

viewfinder is too small there seems to be a little lag between the shutter release button and the shutter and may cause blurry pics when camera is on automatic

when i first used this camera some of my pics were out of focus. after a few rolls i started to understand my camera and now all of my pics are wonderfull. recommend fuji 400. i usually put mine on fill flash no matter the situation.

Strength:

Small size Good mechanically OK for snapshots (but no more)

Weakness:

Budget lens can't cope with demanding light Bad lens flare shooting into the sun Buttons are fiddly (require fingernails)

Not very impressed I'm afraid.. The picture quality can be quite good, but in demanding light (eg mountain landscapes) photos have a washed out look and indoor flash has a lot of red-eye and washed out faces. I perservered ( I hate wasting money) but I've now bought a Leica C3 which is in a different league (but much more expensive). I'm surprised by some of the positive comments above, maybe I got a duff one??

Strength:

Good image quality Zoom start from 35mm Fast wind speed Metal body

Weakness:

The viewfinder is just a "Flat plastic window", it does not make a "Cup" or "Hole" shape like Mju:II or T3, so it''s hard to get my eyes into a correct position...and for those who wear glasses, it''s difficult to see through. The apture is relativly small(4.5-8.5), but every zoom P&S''s aperture will not be large!

I''ve already own an EOS system with EOS 1V and 8 lenses, but cann''t carry heavy gear for everytime, So I choose Rollei Prego 70 for daily photohraphy. It''s lens is sharp, although my Contax T3 maybe sharper, but the difference is minor. This camera is a killer under bright sunlight and the lens produce a different, "Lovely" tone compare with T3. The contrast and colour reproduction is very good for this kind of zoom P&S. The film advance speed after every shot is faster than T3. The only thing I don''t like is the viewfinder.

Strength:

Small stylish design, very sharp lens, good contrast and colors. Red-eyes reduction could be better; it works most of the time. Produce excellence flash photographs, fill-in flash works wonderfully.

Weakness:

If I want to capture something quick, I will definitely need to use my EOS Elan 7E for that.

Overall, a very good P&S camera for general use.
Reasonable price and size.

Size, lens, price, brand

Weakness:

Red eye reduction

I love it. German-made. I think it has a great lens -- very sharp, good colors, red-eye reduction is lacking however. Does not work all the time. But small enough to take anywhere and everywhere. The old Olympus zoom I had was terrible -- two different units had the same problem within 5 months of each other -- the flash gave out.

Kudos to Rollei for such a gret little everyday camera. Thanks amazon.com for such a great price.

Both ratings are relative to its competition $125-$200.

Strength:

size, lens, metal casing, fill-in flash, ... quality build, in other words.

Weakness:

red-eye reduction doesn't always work.

Great camera that's slightly pricey (if you're looking for value for money then use the mju 2). For the quality of the prints, this is definitely worth it... despite the shorter zoom range. I prefer it to the olympus because of the zoom capability and because the flash works better to give a more natural effect. The lens is superb.

Strength:

Superb lens! Landscape shots on Lofoten Islands, North Norway came out extremely clear and detail is incredible; panoramic mode came into its own in this rugged terrain. Genuine colours thanks to Fujichrome Sensia 200 slide film. Camera is great value for money (£84 GBP via Internet /stockist in Tottenham Court Road, London), light, very compact and user-friendly.

Weakness:

Nothing major to moan about.

Thumbs up!

Strength:

Lens is very good. Low distortion, bright colors.

Weakness:

Red eye reduction
LCD went blank after 4 weeks. Probably a shortage somewhere. When we pushed beside the LCD, it went back on again.

Good camera! Don't break it and you have a great time.

Customer Service

Very bad (in the Netherlands) Reinka import "fixed" the camera in 4 weeks, but the guy who fixed it left his thumb print IN the camera.

After this we had to send it back again for 4 weeks to clean the viewer.
