Summary: A great camera for typical use
Review: I've had my C700 for a month and I've been quite impressed with it. The viewfinder is great in that it lets you switch photo sizes (one of the features of APS) and it automatically updates itself you see exactly what you're taking a picture of. It also has an easy to use zoom mechanism. The other APS features -- drop-in loading, auto-everything, the ability to change film rolls right in the middle of a roll and switch back later -- are also very useful. And it's simple enough for anyone to use. The LCD on the back is very intuitive and after a quick glance at the instructions I could do everything with ease. The buttons here and for taking the pictures are large enough to be used easily, but designed in a way that makes it unlikely you'll hit any of them accidentally. My only knock on the camera is that you can only use the built-in messages (a couple dozen of them) to print on the back of your photos. But this camera has everything you could ask for and more for its low price. It even comes with a lithium battery and a roll of film to get you started!

Summary: Not satisfied at all.
Review: I've had too many problems with this camera and ended up returing it after trying out 2 of them. I find the viewfinder dark to look through making it very hard to take photo's in any other light except very bright. The camera always defalts to 4x7 size leaving me with a lot of cutting to do at home (Kodak told me this is a camera defect). The date/time stamp on the back is so small and faint it's hardly worth it. Every roll of film I have developed comes out differently, whether it's every photo with red-eye, or skin discoloration... There is also a problem with the film memory itself, making the format's come out different than what it was set at (besides the default) Kodak told me it's because the film is so new they are still "working on it". The camera does take very sharp and clear photo's but unfortunatly there was just too many other problems for me to continue using it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great pixs in tough conditions
Review: I've only shot 2 rolls outside so far, but both of them in tough, off-trail xc skiing situations. The pictures came out beautifully. With 400 ASA film I took some of the best skiing action shots ever (for me). The 30-60 zoom offers good options for framing.

My only objections: 1. (As someone else has noted) the button which changes framing is place just where the left forefinger wants to hold the camera, so you can easily trigger it unwantedly. 2. There is quite a lag when you push the shutter button, between setting the exposure, actually taking the picture, and then the auto-wind to the next frame. This timing will take some getting used to.

Summary: I love this camera!!!
Review: My Kodak Advantix C700 was given to me 2 years ago by my husband. It has never left my side. I have taken it everywhere. It is still on the very same battery that I started with. I am now shopping around for one for my stepson. It takes great pictures that really have a professional quality to them. The ability to switch between panoramic and regular size is the best feature. I have never had to use my warranty, never had it repaired, never even had a complaint about this camera. The instructions are easy to read and understand. You'll be taking photos in no time.

Summary: Waste of money
Review: Problems with camera from first day. Picture quality was not consistent. After one month shutter broke. Kodak wanted me to pay postage and would not guarantee a no charge repair. Too many items of repair did not fall under warranty. Also film cost is much higher. Eventually just threw the camera out when I was told by local repair shop that cost to repair could be more than purchasing a new camera

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Versatile and dependable APS camera
Review: The C700 is one of the few Advantix cameras that will allow you to change film mid-roll! It is unbelievable how convenient this is when you want to take a black&white photo but the camera has colour film in it (of course you need to have the black&white roll of film on hand). My poor camera has been kicked, dropped and abused over its life of traveling with me and has never failed; not one crack, not one bad picture, nothing! All of the controls are easy to use and clearly marked.
Another feature that some may enjoy is the "titling" option: It allows you to give each roll an event title which will be printed onto theback of your pictures.
So much for so little - now where is my SLR? It has been awhile.

Summary: Crisp and clear - without fear!

Summary: Exellent
Review: This camera is the best investment I have made ever! The camera suits my needs perfectly for just taking casual pictures or really interesting pictures that you would think would be taken with a real camera. I would reccomend this camera to anyone because of its light weight and its great picture taking ability! SUPERIOR!
