Summary: Lemon!
Review: I received this camera as a gift in January. It has already been back to Kodak once for repairs, and now it is going back again - for the same problem! After I load a new roll of film in it, it takes one picture & automatically rewinds the entire roll. Very frustrating. Picture quality is OK, but have only successfully been able to shoot 3 complete rolls of film since January because of it's quirky film problem.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great little camera
Review: I took this camera to Cancun to use in various conditions down there such as the beach,clubs,and the fast moving contests during Spring Break. I was Amazed with the versitility and durability the camera possesed and the options were usefull aswell but were only understood after reading the manual a few times. Before I bought this camera I was a Bit sceptical because of bad things I heard about the quility of APS photos, I took a chance and I'm glad I did, pictures came out great execpt for some panoramic
shots in low light. The ease of using the film was great too with drop in loading, mid-roll change and after the film was proccesed I liked that the pics came back without negitives, just the same film casing for later use.

Summary: i hate this camera
Review: I took this camera with me on many a college a adventure and after shooting 3 roles that got progressively worse I'm fed up with this shoddy crap. the only pictures that come out are indoors with decent artifical light and outdoors, but not bright. It won't take pictures in the dark, they shouldn't even tempt you with the different shutter options, none work. I even sent my camera in after the lcd broke. they wouldn't replace it but they did send me back a role of test pictures that for some reason were all perfectly developed, i wish i knew what camera they used...

Summary: Reduced picture quality
Review: This little camera has nice features such as it's size, weight, and weatherproofing. Picture clarity is another issue. Photos are no where near 35 mm quality. They tend to look soft and kind of fuzzy. Not sure if the focus is off or the film resolution is that much less or I am just too picky. If you are looking for a easy to carry and use camera and are not too concerned about picture qualiity, this camera will serve you well. I will be getting rid of mine.

Summary: I hate this thing!!
Review: Ugh! I hate this camera! I thought it would be cool cause of the advantix film options and the size of the camera itself, but it was nothing but a waste of money.

the delay between shots on this camera is RIDICULOUS! I am serious! So many times I have missed that "kodak moment" because of that!

also, it takes a VERY long time to start up.

It also has a lot of trouble focusing. a lot of times I can't get my shot because it won't focus because of an angle or a matter of inches. it is SOOOOOOO annoying!

the pictures aren't that bad, but they certaintly are not great.

we also recently had trouble with when the film runs out the camera would get stuck rewinding and would freak out. it also got stuck a few times trying to retract its' lens. we had to send it to kodak for repairs.

don't buy it!! save the [money] and put it towards a better camera!

Summary: A great, full-featured small camera
Review: We bought our T700 just before a two-week camping and hiking trip to the Southwestern U.S. This phenomenal little camera zipped through forty rolls of film at a number of national parks in all kinds of weather at every time of the days and evenings without one technically bad print. I found the 4 X 6 ("C") and 4 X 7 ("H")photos very comparable to 35mm in quality. Since the film is only 60% the size of 35mm, enlargements will of course show more grain and lack some color saturation. But since 98% of all pictures are printed 4 X 6, this is very adequate.

Now for the features. The rubberized, compact body easily fits in any pocket, purse, or small belt pouch. The flip-up flash helps avoid the red-eye seen in so many small camera photos. There are a number of flash options navigated on an LCD on the camera back with convenient buttons. There is even a sequential advance feature and the LCD has a backlight button for dim and dark conditions. Mid-roll rewind allows the user to change film speeds and types, or for people to share a camera with their own film cartridges.

Finally, the storage system is wonderful. Every cartridge has an I.D. No. and a matching numbered index print accompanies the processed prints. Using one of the popular small plastic photo organizers (the same size as a VHS video cassette) the user can store 12-18 cassettes (depending on the manufacturer) and matching index prints for easy reference and reprinting. The film never is touched by the user, but kept in its protective cartridge.

I have really put this little jewel through the paces, and can find few faults with it. One may be the short zoom (30-60 equivalent in 35mm) and another the limited shutter speed range (1/2-1/250th)or the slow lens (around f/8 wide open at telephoto).
Other than those few things, it's a phenom!
