Film-Camera Reviews

I bought this camera as a rush purchase to go on a weeked trip. Due the fact that my Kodak T550 was left at home. I know Aps cameras my not produce the greastest images blown up but I like them. I used my head and while I was there I took a test roll and got them developed at a local store in an hour. I was already uneasy with the half-way decent quality of the pictures then and by the time I went through 7 rolls of film I was really on edge. I got back home and over 60% of my pictures came out dull, underexposed, and just awful. So I took my negative to an additional two other film proccessors and some of my pictures came out better but not by much. I've only been taking pictures for 5 years and I don't claim to know it all, but I really have come to dislike this camera. The only 'strenghs' to the camera are its looks and the LCD glow-type button function. While it wasn't acting like a camera with astigmatism(which I have) the pictures came out great.

I was quite taken by the look of the Camera. Very Compact, Professional looking (almost real) to previous "Cardboard Box" Disposable Camera's Kodak have brought out in the late 80's early 90's.
When I got the Photos developed they just looked Average, not much Depth in each shot, almost like they were overexposed. Not "true" B&W Pics. I've taken many B&W Photos before with a proper Camera using Ilford B & W Film. The Photo's were just so-so. I don't know about this whole Ektanar Lens stuff either, the Photos produced were no clearer than any other One time use Camera. I probably shouldn't expect so much from a Single Use Camera.

I agree with another reviewer-the Fuji Camera is excellent, but the charger in the accessory kit was faulty-2 batteries wouldn't even charge. The camera was a gift to our 20 year old son and he was devastated when the 2 rechargeable batteries that worked melted the camera's face plate! Even for free (it was included in the camera price as an extra bonus around Christmas time) it was not a bargain!

I bought this kit as a gift for my husband. Two of the batteries would not even charge, and one of them actually "melted" it's outside casing!!! We are returning the whole kit, and will purchase rechargeables separately. Shame on Fuji for even throwing together such a ... kit!!!

The information with the camara use is where I am finding the most difficult. I will probably go on line to talk with a represenative and have them step me through my problems.
The order and delivery service were excellent.

I haven't tried this version of Image Tech's 3D camera, but I had their disposable version which was not much cheaper. I mailed the camera/film back in the handy pre-addressed envelope they provided for developing and it came back to me two weeks later from the post office with the "reject message" that Image Tech had moved and the forwarding order had expired. Of course the film had to be developed by them. I got a "new" address from the camera store that sold me the camera and re-mailed the camera/film in at the beginning of August 2000. It is 11/07/2000 and I still haven't seen it. I "assume" it is lost. Developing for the 16 pictures on the roll of film was very expensive. Before purchase, I would check the out your developing costs and options. As for the camera, it was hard to find pictures to take with the camera that had subjects spaced in the foreground, middle and background to make the most of the 3D imaging even though I love taking pictures.

Viewfinder blocks the view. Faulty design. Do not buy this. Canon must stop making this camera. Recommendation to amazon to not carry it, as you will surely get customer returns

Despite taking extreme care to ensure o-ring integrity after loading this camera the first time, it flooded on its first dive at 45 feet. I followed the manufacturer's directions exactly, ensured a clean o-ring and mounting, visually inspected the o-ring for stretch, tears, dust, hair, etc. prior to closing, all to no avail. A replacement camera from a no-name brand I purchased from a local dive shop on Bonaire for half the price as a replacement performed flawlessly through six reloads at depths of up to 100 feet. Hugely disappointing.
