3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing for a Canon camera, June 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon Sure Shot Z135 Zoom 35mm Camera (Electronics)

After being an exceptionally satisfied owner of a semi-automatic Canon camera, I expected to find the same level of satisfaction with my purchase of a Canon Z135 zoom camera. While the camera performs adequately well in taking quality outdoor photos, it falls far behind in flash photography. While advertised as having a red-eye reduction capability, I have found red-eye to be an ongoing problem and existing in every photo where people or animals are photographed. I am extremely disappointed in the performance of this camera in the price range where it is sold. I would expect this level of quality to be acceptable only in a camera costing much less. I have owned this camera for two years and have discontinued using it because of the frustration I feel when my prints are returned and do not meet my level of expectation. I should have done more research before buying this product where most of my selection was based on the Canon name.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very small viewfinder, June 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon Sure Shot Z135 Zoom 35mm Camera (Electronics)

This camera takes excellent pictures once you focus on the subject if you can find the subject through the very small viewfinder. Very disappointed in this feature.

We purchased this camera two years ago. It initially lived up to the Canon name, taking great pictures and providing ease of use. The 135mm zoom was outstanding. Unfortunately, that was short lived. Soon after ruining several rolls of vacation film with the camera the honeymoon was over. All the pictures were blurred beyond belief. We sent it back for repair (the warranty had just ran out) and $90.00 later, we were taking pictures again. Now, 6 months later, the picture quality is, again, going to hell. Pictures are blurred. Red eye abounds.

We are now looking at a new 35mm camera and we will certainly not be buying a Canon.
