Summary: Missed Pictures
Review: Camera takes okay pictures on "red eye" or "auto setting." However, the delay between depressing the shutter button to the actual picture can seem like an eternity. Therefore, many opportunites are missed. Especially when photographing children. In the past I have used cameras with similar features that did not have such a significant delay. Obviously, this delay is the difference between a good picture and no picture.

Summary: Not much value for the 'kit'
Review: Don't waste the extra $30 for the kit version of this camera. The sholder strap is more like a necklace and the only other added components are a cary case that is only big enough for the camera and will hold nothing else and 1 roll of film.

This camera has been declare as a best buy from Consumer Reports so you cannot go wrong with the unit itself, but don't expect to be impressed at all with the added pieces in the 'kit'.

Stick with the camera alone for ...

Summary: Red eye reduction? Yeah, right.....
Review: I bought this camera based on Canon's good reputation and also the fact that it received good ratings from Consumer Reports. Though the camera takes good, sharp pictures outside in the daylight, the red eye reduction feature is completely worthless when using the flash. I have had the camera for four months and have taken several pictures with it, including ones from a recent vacation. I am disappointed in the way many of the pictures where I used the red eye reduction feature turned out. The camera itself is very easy to use and lightweight, however, I would not have chosen it if I knew in advance how poorly the red eye reduction works. I guess in the future, I will have to stick with 400 speed film and no flash in low light conditions.

Summary: Lots of potential, fair results!
Review: I bought this camera because it had what I was looking for ~ good price, date, came with case and battery, Canon reputation. I was disappointed with the results. I shot 2 rolls of Fuji 400 film through the camera. Faces were washed out when the flash was used. Red eye did NOT work. Outdoor pictures were ok in color but not very sharp. Moved on to the Pentax 120mi and very glad I did!

Review: I bought this camera for my mom, I received a free roll of film Kodak Max 400. The pictures came out super, it was clear, the colours were rich, bright and very detailed.
I recommend the use of this film, its excellent, not only for this particular camera but any other camera.

Summary: Red Eye -- Red Eye ...
Review: I had a Ricoh 35mm for about 12 years (I loved that camera - I took it everywhere). It finally just broke. I needed a new camera - after many hours of research we decided to buy a canon. We bought the 85 and the 120. We took identical pictures with both cameras. The 85 had red eye problems even when the red-eye function was on. The 120 has similar but fewer red-eye problems. The color and crispness was beautiful. However, the red-eye simply ruins the photos. I never used the red-eye function on my Ricoh - and when reviewing my last few hundred photos - I noticed that I never had red-eye. I'm so dissapointed that Ricoh no longer sells the 35mm. I returned both cameras. I am now stuck with no camera. Do not buy a canon buy this camera!

Summary: red eye
Review: The camera is o.k. I purchased this camera because consumer reports gave it a good review. Every picture I have taken with the red eye reduction flash on everyone still has red eyes. I am very disappointed with this feature
