Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Kodak's first ultracompact, weatherproof camera, the Advantix T700 zoom camera is constructed with multiple rubber seals around the control buttons, film and battery doors, and the lens to keep moisture out of the body and the lens. This lets you shoot outside in any weather, and the camera's rubberized surface provides a sure grip. The pop-up flash is farther from the lens to reduce red eye. A sturdy lens cover acts as the camera's on/off switch.

The Advantix T700 uses Kodak's PQix (Picture Quality Information Exchange) feature, which records data about each frame on the film's magnetic strip; this ensures that your images are properly exposed and developed by your photo processor. The real-image viewfinder lets you properly frame each shot and changes the view depending on which of the three image formats you choose (C, H, or P). Kodak also included a safety interlock on the film door to make sure the door won't open until your film is completely rewound. You can imprint the date and time, or one of 41 titles in 12 languages, on your images so you never forget when you took them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect little camera, July 13, 2001

By

I bought this camera for my girlfriend after she saw it in one of her magazines. The "weatherproof" aspect is what sold her, at least gives her some confidence that it will survive a day at the beach or a rainy game day. I was amazed with the small physical size of the camera, perfect for her small purses or my pockets. The Advantix film is more expensive along with the development costs. The costs force you to search for good deals on film, much more than I ever did with a 35mm. She enjoys the title option, even though you need the book with you because there are too many titles to remember by memory. She has gone through 5 rolls of film in two weeks, and they have all turned out well. The midroll exchange is neat, and we both perform that option a lot, but only because we can, no real reason, just because it's somewhat impressive to people that don't know you can do that!! If you are looking for a great little camera to take with you everywhere, this is it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Tiny Traveler, August 21, 2001

Storyteller of the north "clicker44" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kodak Advantix T700 Zoom APS Camera (Electronics)

I bought this camera because I was heading to England and Ireland for a vacation of a lifetime and just couldn't stand the thought of carrying around my 4 lb. 35 mm. Easy to carry, offering pictures of various sizes, and waterproof to boot, this easy-to-use camera was perfect. Of course, I missed certain aspects of a larger camera. The T700 only has a 2x zoom, and I didn't have a tripod along, so missed some shots I would have gotten with a bigger camera. However, I still carry it in my purse and find that I am taking many more pictures now because I have the camera with me at all times. I guess the odds are that I will get more great pictures since I'm taking more pictures! Also, some of the photos seem darker than I think they should be, but that may be a reflection on the photographer rather than the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, full-featured small camera, April 4, 2002

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!
