Advantages: Compact: excellent techno-jewellery! Disadvantages: Too small for big hands; ultimate quality needs 35 mm
Minolta Vectis 300
I took a couple of years before I dipped a toe in the APS water – I’ve been using 35 mm and rollfilm for thirty years, and have no particular interest in simpler and smaller cameras.
Still, a “shop-soiled” example in Bell and Jones in West Bromwich (someone had tried to steal it, and had only managed to scratch it a bit) for £99 proved too much of a temptation, and I bought it.
The first thing to say ... ...the quality stakes. The film is too small, and the lenses are of relatively limited specification. And anyone using the long end of the zoom in dull weather needs to have either 400 ISO film, or a tripod (which rather defeats the object of the exercise, I reckon!) The aperture at the long end of the zoom is very small, and this leads to a slow shutter speed – just when it is least acceptable in terms of controlling camera shake.

You can also select to add captions to particular shots for instance, "Happy Birthday", or "Congratulations", but to do this you need to keep the code ... ...one of the best I have come across on a camera this size.
All in I am pleased I bought my Minolta Vectis 300.
My only gripe is that my Vectis is so good that I cannot justify buying a digital camera just yet (but I'm still saving). ...
