1. What you see in the viewfinder is not what comes out in the photo. Photos where I center the image in the viewfinder consistently come out left of center in the image.

2. All of my photos are dark in the corners. Some photos look like they're framed by this darkness, with a roundish image visible in the middle.

This camera is unacceptable.

I bought a used Trip 500 at Goodwill to take to the Philippines and burn up 7 rolls of film I had lying around. Picture quality is not very good, Can't shut the flash off. Flash also seems to want to go off any time other than bright sun. I wouldn't recommend this model to anybody. Had some pretty blurry pictures even running 400 speed film. Oh well, I'm out of 35mm film and have a nice Nikon digital now...
