APS Cameras

A useful camera to have around.

Advantages: Size, Price
Disadvantages: Poor viewfinder

...information recording, etc) Canon did two similar 'cheap' IXUS models - this one - the AF, and another the FF. The difference being that the FF had fixed focus and the AF auto focus (obviously enough). The auto focus is of the infra-red type so can be fooled by shooting through glass etc... but generally performs well and is worth having over the FF version. Exposure is good enough and the flash is small but good enough for shots at parties etc... ...
...my other camera is an Canon EOS SLR) its very small, dark and it always takes a moment or two to get your eye just right at it. On the plus side changing the APS format does properly mask the viewfinder unlike some APS compacts which rely on dotted outlines to mark out the different formats. All in all the viewfinder is acceptable for a camera so small. The camera includes a tripod socket, self timer, settings for flash, no-flash, red eye flash or ...

Review of Canon IXUS AF Compact Camera

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 ...

Review of Fujifilm Nexia Q1 APS

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. ...

Advantages: Light, compact, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Buttons and veiw finder a bit small.

...2 free films and might have saved on cost by shopping around. Also the camera itself was a bit pricey at something like £65. Overall I think the Canon IXUS M-1 is an excellent compact camera. It has enabled me for the first time ever to take good photos. ...

Review of Canon IXUS M-1 SET Compact Camera

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 ...
