I like this camera, the viewfinder doesn't really block the view, just a little bit in the bottom right of the bit you look through, but it doesn't affect the pictures at all.
I've taken good pictures with this camera.
It's got lots of technical settings and buttons...so that's a bit complicated. But when I get the hang of it I'm hoping to be a camera genius.

The camera is easy to use and takes great pictures in AUTO mode. Mode changing on the fly or in low-light conditions is difficult, however. The buttons on the top of the camera are small and function with a minimal depression, thus you need to be very exacting and know how many increments or pressings are required to get the features you want. In low light conditions, the typical black/grey LED display is VERY hard to read. Also, using the zoom and flash regularly, the battery loses enough charge after about 4-5 rolls of film that you need to wait 3-5 seconds for the flash to re-charge. This can cost you a shot under quick action conditions. Of course, for demanding photographic situations, a point and shoot in this price range will never be enough. The only other minor annoyance is the protruding lens which complicates storage in some bags or briefcases - however, this is only a minor issue. I was on a recent trip and cramped for space when this issue came up. Overall the camera is compact, lightweight, pleasant to shoot and takes good pictures; everything you come to expect from Canon.

Very pleased... Have had several Canon SureShot cameras and all have performed well. Would recommend this brand to others who are still using film!

Seller hit a home run. I feel very satisfied with this purchase. My wife prefers film cameras to digital. She had a Canon 150u camera but it got broken. This one is like new, it came with a new battery and was loaded with film. High value and low price. I received much more from this seller than I expected. If there were six stars available, I would have given it to this seller.

I had this camera years ago and it was stolen. I repurchased because I liked it so much. I just had my pixs developed and they are great. Marge

Viewfinder blocks the view. Faulty design. Do not buy this. Canon must stop making this camera. Recommendation to amazon to not carry it, as you will surely get customer returns
