I have owned one of these many years and find it ideal to carry around with me. It is lightweight and small. If you buy one make sure you also purchase a case to prevent damage to the cameras casing.

It has a choice of 3 formats, panoramic, hdtv and classic.
The panaoramic is the wide one ideal for landscape photography.
Hdtv and classic are basically the standard picture size one is just more oblong than the other.

It has anti red eye flash which is useful and a tripod socket on the base.
There is a self timer which used in conjunction with the tripod socket allows self portraits to be taken. Also can be used when you have problems holding a camera steady. The battery seems to last a long time especially if the flash isnt used much.
APS film comes in 2 forms either 25 exposure or 40 exposure. The are colour, black and white and also slide film available in the APS format. I have used both the b&w and also colour film and had good results but not tried any slide film through it as yet.

It is a good backup to your slr system as it can just be popped in the camera bag. Also one could be kept in the car ideal for accidents etc.

They are cheap to buy on ebay and the aps film is still available. As they are getting old now there arent new ones available so they must be purchased on the second hand market. Such places to look would be ebay, camera shops and camera fairs and also car boot sales.
The only problem with APS cameras are that developing costs are higher than that for 35mm film.

Good review but could do with some more info to gain higher ratings. Take a look at other reviews to get an idea of the level of info that is needed to gain higher ratings. ~ Em. x
