4.0 out of 5 stars Good Buy!, December 8, 2002

This review is from: Minolta Freedom 115 Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)

Did some research on Amazon, but I did not buy this here as Amazon does not ship internationally for electronics goods.
Anyway, have bought this camera for only a week and I am really impressed with the first roll of films I have taken. As it is now the Xmas season, I took a lot of outdoor pictures at night with all the Xmas lightings in the background. The pictures came out crystal clear, no red eye and very sharp. There are a couple of modes to choose from depending on where you are and it's pretty easy to use. I thought I will return this for an Olympus but I think I will stick with this. It's coming with me for my trip to Hong Kong on Xmas!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera all around and dummy-proof as well., February 18, 2004

I went into Target with a $100 limit to buy a new camera, and this one was $99.99. I do not want a digital yet since they need to be expensive to be good, but I have started freelancing for a local magazine and needed something better than a plain old autofocus, non-zoom, autoflash cheapie, which is what I was using with pretty decent results, but that one started malfunctioning. I know most people don't read the instruction booklets that come with cameras, but this one really can do a lot, so it is going to be a waste of your time and money if you don't check out everything that it can do. I recommend using a whole roll of film just trying out the different modes and experimenting. It does everything that a manual 35MM camera can do, but if you're like me and are likely to mess up on your manual settings and ruin a picture, this camera is going to be your best bet. And you can't beat the price. Most cameras at this price only zoom up to around 80MM.

its a great buy for people looking for something better than regular auto focus cameras and cheaper than SLRs...its features are simple and easy to use/understand...the zoom is really good and so is the flash range...
