5.0 out of 5 stars Great for touring, August 18, 2000

I have no complaints. Most importantly, the red-eye reduction works great. I had to return an Elph because all my subjects looked like red-eyed monsters. The Minolta Vectis 2000 is great to fit in your pocket, especially when you're traveling and sightseeing. It fits right into your palm. You don't have to look like a "tourist." It pops out to a bigger size when you're ready to take pictures, and the zoom works great. Many more features are also available. Drop in loading APS film is fool-proof. There's only one way to load. Friends are always asking about it and complementing me. It's the only camera I take when traveling, and great for everyday types of photos. The developed shots also turn out great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Point-N-Shoot, November 3, 2001

I bought this while on vacation without a camera, possibly not the best time to break-in a new one. When first 3 rolls were developed I was able to see a progression of clearer pictures and now I'm completely comfortable watching the flashing green light in the view-finder for the optimum photograph. The compact size fits in a jeans pocket while knocking around historical sites. The 3 photo sizes allow for a vast array of shots and the zoom is fairly quick to adjust before the subject gets tired of smiling for the picture. Automatic dating and even a memo can be programed to print on the back of prints.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!, January 5, 2005

I've had this camera for about 4 years and absolutely love it. I've taken this camera all around the world and have gotten great results from it. It also takes wonderful black and white photos. Not only does this camera take great pictures, it's compact and so easy to use. I bought this camera as an alternative to a disposable camera but has become so much more. I always have it in my purse in case those kodak moments come up and glad it's so small and light that it allows me to do so.
I have other cameras but always end up shooting the best pictures with the vectis 2000. If you are thinking of wanting a quality camera that is compact and light, this one is a treasure of a find.
