This camera is my favourite! I decided to purchase a 35mm because digital cameras were annoying. They take 5 minutes to switch on and then my printer is never reliable enough to print anything good. Anyway, the espio is super. This is a top-quality camera with loads of features:

Autofocus: Yes
Automatic Loading (APS): Yes
Bifocal / Zoom: Zoom
Bifocal/Zoom: Zoom
Built In Flash: Yes
Camera Format: 135 mm
Compact / SLR: Compact
Compact Zoom: Fl116-144Mm
DX Coding: Yes
Data Back: No
Drop In Film: Yes
Dx-Coding: Yes
Exchangable Lens: No
Film Format: 135 mm
Highest Focal Length in mm: 120
Lowest Focal Length in mm: 28
Mini Type: no
Motor: Yes
Panorama: No
Red Eye Reduction: Yes
System SLR Or Compact: Compact
System SLR or Compact: Compact
Telewide: 120
Water Protection: No
Wide angle: 28

I'm sure I'll use them in the long-term. You can also get a date model which I think writes the date on the film. It's got a huge zoom which is really why I bought it (around 4x) and still manages to be compact and very light. I really like the feature on the bottom, which allows you to instantly change to a panoramic setting. The instruction manual illustrates these features with diagrams.

This is a great compact camera which has loads of features and a great zoom. This is a real contender against digital, and looks just like a digital camera. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an alternative to a digital camera. They are superb value at the moment and I picked mine up for about £25 on ebay, definately worth it!
