Pros:
|
easy to use, cheap, good "first timer" cam
|
|
Cons:
|
camera can not be used independently, will not rewind film, no "view finder" so you have to hope you have it set right, lots of conflicts between the instruction label inside the door and the instruction booklet, lots of pictures of nothing

Bought this camera at Academy for $69.99 because it was a cheap "starter" cam. It is easy to setup and use, but that is about it. The camera has never rewound film without messing with the "manual rewind" button and the "on/off" switch at the same time, the "low battery" indicator has never worked. This camera has either date or time stamp, but not date and time together. Uses 8 AA batteries, and the camera is mounted permanently in the case. Has walk test LED, and counter, but when batteries get low, counter stops on 26. Stick your face in front of it to see the event counter and get a pic taken! The pictures that it has taken have been decent, but it also takes a bunch of pics of nothing. If you want a "quick, cheap, easy" cam, this is it, but be ready for problems!
