What I loved about mine, which I bought from amazon.com, was that it was cute, stylish, small, and very lightweight. APS and three photo sizes, including panorama, is what drew me to it initially. Then the transluscent color. But mine was defective, and I don't know how common that is for this model. I wish more people would post ratings. With mine, the film did not "drop in" so nice, it had to be forced in, then got stuck inside and did not want to come out. Also, (and most importantly) it did not take the 3 different sizes of pictures. I slid the slider to the 3 different positions throughout the roll, but it only took one size the whole way through. So, I had bad luck. Maybe yours won't be defective, they can't all be, can they? If you get a non-defective one, you'll love it 'cause it's cute, small, and very light.

I love purple, own tons of things that are purple. I loved the idea of this camera and something great for those short trips, etc. I load the first roll of film and have a blast on the Navy Pier in Chicago for the day. I buy more film and then jet to Mexico. I TRY to load the next roll of film! Nothing! Am I wrong!? I see the problem and was unable to ever resolve it! And what's worse is that I bought the identical gift for a friend's daughter in England! She can't return it now and I wonder if it is still working for her. I am too embarassed to ask! You get what you pay for!!! Not another Vivitar product!
