excellent for snowboarding

Advantages: simple, easy to use, small and light
Disadvantages: its no digital camera

I brought this camera for a recent snowboarding trip, I didn't want to take a digital camera in case I dropped it in the snow, so I brought this relatively cheap APS camera. this camera is very simple to use and has some nice features. the on button is a slide switch, so when the camera is turned off it covers the lens and disables the shutter button. this basically means you cant take any pictures when the camera is in your pocket and you wont have ...
...snowboarding trip I used ISO 400 films and I got some really excellent shots, they were clean, crisp and was no blurring, even when we were carving and spraying snow into the air. if anyone is going snowboarding and doesn't want to take their expensive digital camera then I would recommend this camera. I got it from boots for £39.99 but you can buy it from many other places, Argos included. i have included a couple of photos, they look slightly ...

A water resistant camera that isn't yellow!

Advantages: Pictures from where you have never taken pictures before.
Disadvantages: "APS" = Ain't Perfect Sharpness...

...focus. This was repaired by Canon but cost almost as much as a new camera would have done. Summary: I think if I were to buy a new camera now I would wait until a digital waterproof version was released. Waterproof cameras are great, and I do not regret buying this one, but I think the limitations of APS compared to digital would make this product a poor choice as soon as a good digital alternative hits the market. ...

Not digital but still a good camera

Advantages: Lovely clear photos.
Disadvantages: There is no zoom

...This camera takes 3v lithium Kodak kcr2 or equivalent. I have not bought one for a while as I take it out of my camera when I'm not using it to maximise the life, but I do remember them being about eight pounds but I'm sure if you shopped around you would find them cheaper. It is time to change the battery when battery symbol appears on the LCD display just under the picture counter. Taking pictures The camera lets you take three different ...

Compact, easy to use camera

Advantages: Small, lightweight
Disadvantages: No zoom

I’ve owned a Canon Ixus L-1 for several years, and have been very happy with the quality of photographs taken with it. The camera is small, lightweight, and comes with a carrying case, so can be easily carried around either attached to a belt, or in a bag or pocket. Photos can be taken in the 3 usual APS formats, including the Panoramic view, useful for taking pictures of landscapes at a distance. It is also possible to print the date and time on ...
...to work automatically, along with red-eye reduction, which works well. The camera has a 26mm lens, but unfortunately no zoom facility, which is the one major drawback. Films are easy to install, and cheap to buy (packs of 3 available for around £5), and relatively inexpensive to develop (around £5 for a 25 exposure film), though not as cheap as standard 35mm film. I’ve enjoyed using this camera, and would recommend it. ...
