5 comments about Kodak F350 Advantix APS Camera.

1. I rank this camera a 4 star because of how its powered. I mean the CR2 Battery. This battery is a specail type of battery that is Lithium and it is moderatively expensive battery. By Moderatively expensive, it cost anwhere [price] depending on where your buy or order it from. The camera is GREAT although. If the battery was a standard i would have ranked this a 5 star!! By standard I mean (AAA,AA,C,D, 9 Volt, etc.)



2. The Kodak F350 is an inexpensive APS camera, which takes great snapshots. My only complaint is a quark (that may be relegated to my camera alone), where loading a new canister of APS film does not autoload. Sometimes I have to pull the battery out to reset the camera in order to load a new film canister.

   It is rugged enough to take a beating and keeps working. This camera has visited three continents in my backpack.




3. I had a friend who took pictures in varying sizes at my last birthday party with their Advantix and they turned out beautifully! Once I saw those pics, I had to own one myself and this is the one I chose. I am very pleased with the decision! The camera is, #1 very inexpensive!, #2 very easy to use, #3 very beautiful photos! I highly recommend this lovely little camera. For the price, it cannot be beat!



4. Pros: Small size fits in a coat pocket; one-handed operation; ease of use makes it useful on hikes and climbs.

   Cons: Unsophisticated focus means that quite a few pictures are not quite crisp; automatic flash makes it impossible to photograph anything but close-ups in low-light conditions - for instance, photos of the final red rays of sunset won't come out.

   I used this camera on several trips to Europe, and although I wasn't happy with the way some (say, 15%) of the pictures came out, I would never have taken most of them with my bulky 35mmm manual focus camera. So this camera is a good choice for travelling, especially if you want some pictures, but don't want to go to a lot of trouble taking them.




5. My wife loves this camera. Actually this is her second one.The service from the vendor was great. We got the camera sooner than expected and it was in mint condition. Thanks Al Roth

5 comments about Kodak Advantix T700 Zoom APS Camera.

1. 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.



2. 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...



3. I really liked this camera the first year I had it. The pictures were good, it was very convenient... but a few days after the one year warranty had expired, the camera started to rewind the film after just one or two pictures and sometimes freeze up (the lens wouldn't retract). It is currently at a repair shop. Another downside is the high cost of APS film and development.



4. This is a great little camera-- the pictures are good quality, (not great, but darn good), & it is virtually indestructible. I've had mine for three years now & it's been dropped, kicked, left in the rain & it still works like I bought it yesterday. It's perfect for people who always break their cameras or if you anticipate lots of hard use, but is not for those looking for professional quality pics.



5. I like this camera for one reason alone and that is, I had one like it years ago. By the time I was ready to purchase another camera, Kodak had discontinued this model (boo hiss!).
   
   Not knowing where or whom to contact, I googled the product name and found Amazon.com. This camera is great in terms of allowing various photo sizes. The panaramic size is wonderful for taking shots of Basilicas in Italy or the ocean view in Monaco.
   
   The only negative (pun intended) is that the camera was sent with EXPIRED film dating back to January 2003. Not to worry, I bought NEW Advantix film at the local Walgreens.
   
   Thanks!

5 comments about Kodak Max 35mm Single Use Camera w/ Flash.

1. OK, so no one will mistake the photos for professional ones, but these disposable cameras are great! I take one with me when I go to raves, 'cause I don't want to lose my more expensive camera. Photo quality is quite reasonable. The camera is loaded with fast film, so it works in all light conditions with help from the flash. Might as well activate the flash for every picture, since it makes outdoor pictures look better, too. Plus, when you consider you're throwing away the camera, there's no point in trying to save battery power.



2. I've taken Photos with these Kodak MAX Cameras a few times in 2001-2002. They Deliver Above Average Results at a Fraction of the Price of buying a $$-$$$ Camera. Depending on where you buy them. Early this Year in Australia, Kodak brought out the KODAK MAX HQ Disposable Camera which I think is supposed to be an Upgrade from the Kodak MAX Cameras. However I wasn't Happy with the Results so I switched back to the Yellow Camera which I feel delivers better Results.

   I would love for Kodak Australia to release the UK "Kodak Ultra Compact Flash" cameras here, they look like Jazzy little Cameras that actually could be mistaken for a "real" Camera.

   P.S. The Kodak Advantix One Time Use Cameras are also Fantastic, so if you get the chance pick up one of these as well. Great for Birthdays and Trips!




3. It's happened to everyone--you get to an event and realize that you've left that nice new digital camera on your kitchen table. Tough luck. But there's a place selling Kodak disposable cameras right around the corner. You wonder to yourself if it's worth it to pick one up.
   
   For only $8 or so, this is a good pickup. While this isn't a 5.1 megapixel digital camera, it will still take good photos. Having a flash is an added bonus. It's also compact enough to fit in most pairs of pants. There's nothing special about these cameras--no zoom or panoramic prints--but they are easy to use.
   
   While it's still cheaper to use your own camera, the convenience is worth it in many cases.



4. I have used these cameras many times on vacation and the pictures really DID come out fairly well! Oh, sure, the quality of the pictures won't be 100% as good as the pictures you would get from a digital camera or a standard, more expensive and more professional 35 mm camera. The pictures may at times be slightly grainy but they provide excellent records and memories of my experiences.
   
   The camera also is very lightweight so you can carry several at a time in a bag as you travel. I especially like the built in flash that is easy to use (just push a button in the back of the camera and after 10 seconds or so the flash is ready). I remember my mother's Kodak Instamatic camera from the 1960s when if your flash cube had been used (after only four pictures) you were out of luck unless you had another flash cube. No such problem here! Thank goodness!
   
   The camera is a single use camera; this means that after you use it you take the entire camera to the place where you can get film developed and they will take care of the rest. No worrying about whether or not you removed the roll of film negatives correctly without exposing them to too much light. The Kodak "MAX" 800 film speed also makes it useful for taking pictures under a wide variety of lighting situations! You get 27 exposures, not just 24--a nice plus! SMILE
   
   Overall, this is an excellent camera for the many, many people who want to travel light or who are on a budget. It is compact and easy to carry; keep one in the glove compartment of your car just in case there's an accident and you need to take pictures of the scene. The camera is also affordable. I give it four stars instead of five simply because the picture quality just isn't the very best although for most people like me the pictures it takes are fine. Thank you, Kodak!



5. It was the last day of school last year, and boy did this help bring back memories! My mom gave me this the day before the last day. I got some cool shots of my old classmates, which some i might not see again. it was also reliable on my vacations. the camera has lots of space and is very portable. i totally recommend this to casual photographers who can't afford a digital camera.

1 comments about Kodak MAX HQ One Time Use Camera (2 Pack).

1. Kodak makes a great portable, single use camera and this two pack works great for people who want them for vacation picture taking and the like! The cameras come in a silvery foil-type wrap which protects them while still keeping it easy to open. The camera needs only to be briefly prepared by winding the wheel at the top of the camera so that the film advances. You can then snap away--you get enough film for 27 pictures per camera! SMILES
   
   Despite the fact that these disposable cameras cost so much less than high end 35 mm cameras, they take remarkably good photographs. The quality of the photos may be very slightly less but you sure do save a lot of money if you only need a camera for your two week annual vacation or a special occasion. They come with expiration dates as well, so watch to make sure that you use them before the film gets too old to be of use to you.
   
   The built in flash charges quickly once you touch the button on the front of the camera; and after you take a flash picture recharging the flash only takes a very few seconds. The Amazon notes indicate that you don't have to push the button again to recharge the flash; but I always do just to make sure the flash is at its strongest.
   
   The 800 speed film gives you even more convenience as it lets you take pictures under a variety of lighting conditions. Talk about convenience!
   
   Overall, these cameras are a great choice when you need a camera quick and you are on a budget--and who isn't on a budget nowadays? The film can be developed quickly by major retailers and the picture quality is really rather good.
   
   Enjoy!

5 comments about Kodak Max Waterproof 35mm Single Use Camera.

1. When I first bought this camera I thought I had made a mistake. I was in Hawaii going snorkeling and I took some pictures of some fish. The fish were beautiful and the colors were vibrant. Thats exactly how my pictures turned out, full of color and detail.This is a really great buy. You get alot for your money! Happy Shooting



2. Admittedly, I had low expectations when I bought one of these for a recent trip to the Virgin Islands. I didn't believe that a disposable camera loaded with consumer-grade film would return anything better than barely acceptable pictures. I guess I was wrong. Not only were the underwater shots crisp and bright, but even the out-of-water pictures look like they came from a much more expensive camera. I have a few complaints about the film advancer sticking periodically and the lens being too sensitive to suntan lotion (this was a beach after all), but overall I was quite pleased.



3. We used these cameras on the beaches and in the ocean while in Hawaii. The picture quality was as good as any permanent camera I own. The only draw back is it has no flash which would have been helpful in a few situations. But you just have to plan around this one fault.



4. I used the camera in Hawaii. It was easy to use, and it was nice to have pictures underwater, but when I tried to take pictures of things on the ocean floor, I discovered that the camera won't work deeper than about 10 ft--the plunger gets depressed by the pressure.



5. I took this camera on my honeymoon to St. Maarten and the pictures came out beautifully, better than the ones I took with my "real" camera. Would definitely use again! Would also love to go to St. Maarten again (but that's besides the point :-) ).

5 comments about Kodak Advantix C750 APS Date Camera.

1. When my old Kodak Advantix Panoramic camera finally broke I was devastated until I found Kodak still made them! Even better than ever, thank you.



2. As a former professional photographer used to expensive and high tech cameras, I bought this for its panoramic feature. When ever I buy a camera for something, I have a reason to buy it and I test it to make sure it will work for what I bought it for. I bought this for my vacation so that I could have a reasonable camera for scenic opportunities. To make sure it does what I want it to do, I went to a touristy area like Old Town Sacramento which is very divers in lighting and opportunities. I used Fuji 200 for the film and what I found is that, it works great indoors but is very limited outside. It's not very sharp and somewhat grainy. The sensor does not have the latitude for light and shadows, something that will always be a factor when taking pictures. My daylight shots came out washed out from being in competition from the shadows. The panoramic feature works well but still grainy. I would not recommend this as an overall camera. My pro SLR will still be my #1 choice and this will stay in my bag just for panoramic shots.



3. The Kodak Advantix camera was an anniversary gift for my mom and dad. They were very happy with it although we haven't developed any film yet.



4. Kodak Advantix C750 APS Date Camera
   It did not work. Sent it back. Will try another one.



5. I was looking for an inexpensive, point-and-shoot camera (digital would have been preferrable) that could do panorama photographs. I found that there is not that much in that category. I used to own a different model of Advantix camera and liked it, so I bought this one.
   
   It is easy to use, takes good pictures, and is convienient with the three sizes of pictures it can take. The zoom feature is also easy to use. The 2.5x, 24-60 mm zoom is not the highest zoom in the world, but it is acceptable.
   
   When I went to develop my pictures, I was able to get the pictures on CD which was very convenient.

4 comments about Kodak F620 Advantix APS Camera w/ Zoom.

1. Do not try to capture things that move - like kids. You push the button at the perfect moment and the camara takes the picture at least a full second afterwards. By that time the perfect moment is gone. I have so many pictures of my kids looking away because of this. Don't waste your money. This camara is terribly flawed!



2. I got this camera on sale so especially for the price I paid I feel like it's a great little camera. The picture quality is generally good, and it has quite a few features and it's user-friendly in every way. The only thing that it has done to bother me is get a little fuzzy on long-distance shots when you're using the zoom (w/o the zoom they're clear and close up zoom shots are very clear). But a higher speed film (at least 400) seems to minimize that problem. I am looking for a new camera b/c I want a more powerful zoom, but I will continue using this one as well, especially outdoors, for the panoramic mode.



3. I've had a great experience with the Advantix F620. My favorite feature is it prints the date on the back of each photo. The zoom is awesome, and it has an auto shut-off if you forget and leave the camera on.



4. I have never had an aps camera with a zoom before. It works very well. Was glad I purchased it

5 comments about Kodak Plus Digital One-Time-Use Camera.

1. Kodak makes a fairly good disposable camera with their "Kodak Plus Digital One-Time-Use Camera." If only the camera itself was digital!!! What Kodak doesn't clarify is that the only thing "digital" about this is that you get a free CD of your pictures developed when you pay for the camera. OUCH--false advertising as many others have noted. Yes, the camera takes some pretty good photos considering it's a single use camera. Indeed, many of the pictures I've taken using this camera come out almost as well as they would have if I had used a more expensive, conventional 35mm camera instead. However, the camera itself is still NOT digital!
   
   Don't open the box and unwrap the camera from its foil paper wrapping until you're ready to use it; and make sure you use this camera before the expiration date printed on the cardboard box. The 800 film helps make this camera very useful for both outdoor and indoor photos; and it's easy to carry this camera because it's so light and compact. It can fit into a woman's pocketbook, a man's briefcase, backpack or just about any overnight travel bag. You also get 27 exposures per camera; this makes the camera useful for vacations or extensive photo taking days like weddings and other ceremonies.
   
   Unfortunately, the pictures I got back are not as clear and crisp as they would be from a real digital camera or a conventional 35mm camera using the individual rolls of film you put in and then take out when you're ready to have the film developed. I hope that Kodak remedies this problem quickly.
   
   Overall, this single use camera is convenient and budget priced. However, the camera itself is NOT digital, which is a awful trick Kodak uses to fool consumers into thinking they're buying a digital single use camera. The word "digital" refers to the fact that the cost of the camera includes a "free" Kodak CD of your pictures. It just doesn't have the technology to take the very best quality pictures so I hope Kodak works on this in the near future. A single use camera is your best choice if you're on a budget and want a Kodak quality single use camera; but let the buyer--and Kodak--beware about putting any trust in this particular camera!
   
   Two stars, mostly because of the terrible way this is marketed. Let's stop misleading consumers with this one, Kodak!



2. If I went in to a Camera store and asked for a DIGITAL camera, the clerk would show me a camera that would port pictures directly to my PC. It would also give me the ability to edit out pictures I did not want.
   
   So in buying the Kodak Single Use Digital Camera I thought I would get the same. Not so, the Kodak product is nothing more than a regular single use camera. You can't edit out pictures you do not want and most agregiously you MUST take the camera and pay for hard prints at your local film developer.
   
   Shame on me for not asking more questions. But, shame on KODAK for purposeful misrepresentation.



3. Buyer beware!
   
   Yes, I believe the product name is very misleading. They are using a play on words to make people think it is a digital camera. It is NOT! It uses regular film.
   
   The "Plus Digital" is the part that they get away with... It's regular film, plus digital scanning to get a CD of your photos.
   
   So, technically, they are accurate.
   
   But morally, the name is MISLEADING. They are taking advantage of people. I will NEVER buy from them again.
   
   There are true digital "one-use" cameras out there. You must look hard to find them, but they are out there!



4. Really not a digital camera...it only allows you to get a free CD with processing. Misleading and any standard disposable camera will do instead on paying high $$$ for these.



5. As has been pointed out, this is not truly a digital camera and the hype on it is rather misleading. This is merely a regular throw-a-way camera with PLUS a digital scanning to get a CD made of your photos if you desire. That is okay with me, as I pretty well knew this when I bought the thing.
   This camera does give acceptable photographs of the normal fixed lens variety...nothing fancy here. These cameras are okay to take while floating the river and you half way expect to take a dunking. I personally am not going to drag one of my thousand dollar plus cameras around in those conditions. Yet, these cameras take the general type photo you might want to record a particular incident, etc.
   I can understand people being upset over the advertisement of this camera to a certain extent. On the other hand, if you read the box, you pretty well should be able to figure out what you are getting. I am not the sharpest crayon in the box, and good grief, I figured this out pretty quick. Most of you folks are a bit brighter than I am so it should not take much of a leap for you. Now my sister...well that is another story. I am sure Kodak could paint a picture of a small red car on the box and she would be convinced she was getting a new MG.
   All in all, you pretty well get what you pay for here...nothing to run around and shout about, but a serviceable camera that you can get a CD from if the dealer to go to honors it.
   I will give this one two stars because at least it works which is more than I can say for a few of the disposables I have purchased over the past few years.

3 comments about Kodak MAX 35mm Single Use Cameras with Flash (2 Pack).

1. I bought one of these 2 Camera packs a few years ago. They were easy to use, the Flash worked everytime. The results produced nice Colorful Clear shots.
   I recommend these to anyone heading out with friends.
   Not sure if Kodak still manufacture these camera's though.



2. I have used these cameras many times on vacation and the pictures really DID come out fairly well! Oh, sure, the quality of the pictures won't be 100% as good as the pictures you would get from a digital camera or a standard, more expensive and more professional 35 mm camera.

I remember my mother's Kodak Instamatic camera from the 1960s when if your flash cube had been used (after only four pictures) you were out of luck unless you had another flash cube. No such problem here! Thank goodness!
   
   One cautionary note, however: Amazon correctly notes that the best flash range is when you're taking pictures of people or things between 4 feet and 14 feet away. Remember that to get the best use out of the flash!
   
   The camera is a single use camera; this means that after you use it you take the entire camera to the place where you can get film developed and they will take care of the rest.

3. I have a digital camera now, but for years I used these exclusively - mostly on trips. My camera is in the shop, so I've reached into my bag of single-use cameras with a few exposures left on them.
   
   With these new shots, I've finally gotten around to developing images I took up to 3 years ago, and I'm amazed at how nice the images are. I'm even more surprised at how well the colors have held up after sitting in a drawer all this time. The flash even still worked on some cameras that I bought in 2005.
   
   I love my digital camera, but I'm going back to single-use for situations/settings where I'd rather not take the digital one.

5 comments about Kodak MAX Water & Sport Single Use Camera.

1. I work at a professional photofinishing lab, and I can attest to the quality of the film inside this camera. The Kodak Water & Sport camera provides excellent results both in and out of the water. It performs comparably to the Kodak HQ Max Versatility camera; it produces a high-quality image in most situations.
   
   There is no flash on the camera (though using a flash underwater can produce unpredictable and sometimes undesirable effects), so do not plan on using it in low-light situations.
   
   Film does not like to get wet, and accidentally dropping your camera in water could mean that all the pictures you just took are lost forever. So even if you don't plan on taking your camera physically underwater on your family boating expedition, you might still want to consider purchasing a Water & Sport camera as insurance against "splash damage".
   
   If you need a flash, or if you plan to take pictures at depths greater than 50 feet, you'll need to consider a professional underwater camera or camera housing.



2. I just used this camera for a dive in Mexico (my second dive, first attempt at underwater photo).
   
   Although the camera has no flash, it worked perfectly fine at depths up to 12 meters. I guess the lack of flash can be a problem for some other locations or if outside is not a sunny day, but at least for Cancun this camera did the job perfectly.
   
   The wheel that turns the film does a specific noise when the film is correctly positioned and ready for a new shot; this noise is different from when there are no more positions on camera, and the wheel turns continuously - so if you pay attention you'll know when the film is over, even if the position indicator may still show 1 or 2.
   
   Yes, the pictures are grainy (I think it uses ISO800 film so this is expected), but they look "clean" when scaled down on computer at 800x600, and I think the prints will look acceptable, too.
   The pictures will also show vignetting, but this is nothing unexpected for such fixed focus disposable camera lens.
   
   Out of 27 positions, I got 20 pictures I consider good enough and "keepers". The picture turned out crisp - only 2 of them are motion blured. Try to stay still when taking pictures and you'll be fine. For best colors, take pictures of close divers/fishes (less than 1-2 meters away)...
   
   We also used a non-disposable 35mm plastic camera with case and underwater casing, but the Kodak yielded better quality pictures.
   
   As for the viewfinder, it is a bit harder to look through it with the googles on, but I got better framed pictures than with the non-disposable camera that had a "target" sistem.
   
   If you want to spend only 10-20$ and don't plan investing more on underwater casing for digital cameras, this camera is a good choice.
   I don't regret buying it.



3. Nice camera and it takes great photos but it bugs me to buy disposable cameras when non-disposables aren't much more expensive. So why did I buy it? Because I left my non-disposable at home when we went on vacation! Not a bad little camera, though.



4. You can't beat the $price! I just used it when I went snorkeling at the Bahamas. The pictures turned out deceit for an underwater camera. The only problem I found was pressing the 'shoot' button. It was quite awkward. Besides that-Great.



5. We always bring a few of these with us when we go on warm weather vacations. They are perfect for taking snorkling and getting great photos underwater. You just need to be careful to use the sun as you light source and to shoot down, not up. The photos are a lot of fun - even just of people smiling two feet underwater! I would never use this out of the water - I'm sure the photos would be terrible. I prefer it to any other type of waterproof case, because I have zero worry about ruining my multi-hundred dollar digital camera. It is no fuss and lots of fun.
