Summary
It is almost impossible to get the film out of this camera. I am only on my 3rd roll of film, and I must go through a struggle each time to open the film door. The film that I did manage to get out of the camera produced excellent pictures, and I must say it is a great camera other than the fact that you cant get the film out

Summary
I own one APS camera and was looking for a newer and lighter one when I received a Kodak Advantix C750 as a combo Christmas/Graduating gift. I was very pleased with its lightweight and sleek features. Unfortunately, that is the only thing that was promising about this camera.
I have only had it just more than four months and have used about four rolls of film. I have had the worse time trying to get the film door lever to open and let me get the film out. I would rather not use it because of the level of difficulty in trying to push the film door level over to open and reload. My husband and I both have bruised our thumbs inour quest to retrieve our film.
Other than this the pictures are average - clear and focused, it is easy to use (minus the film door lever problem), and it is small and lightweight. If I could get my film out, it would get a lot more praise from me and my family, but because of it we would not recommend this camera to buy.

Strengths
Lightweight, nice looking, easy to take photos, compact.

Weaknesses
There are some obvious problems with design in regards with the film door lever.

Summary
After spending weeks investigating APS Zoom cameras I choose the Kodak C750. It is not the smallest but it still will fit nicely in a pocket easily. All the control buttons are well located and generous size, easy to use. I have shot several rolls of 200 and 400 speed film
and the camera has exceeded my expectations with sharpness on par with nearly any 35mm P & S (of which I own several). The zoom range from 24mm to 60mm
offers nice wide angle and moderate zoom for hand held stuff. Tripod shots when used were sharper at 60mm. No evidence of corner fade at any zoom. Passive focus system work very well even thru glass windows. No “red eye” or no wash outs on close flash shots. Good flash color balance. Button for “Modes”(Landscape, portrait, night, spot) and separate button for “Flash”(auto, auto/redeye, fill, off). Even though several of the modes are cross linked to the flash, it still gives you more combination of control than many other APS cameras.

Strengths
Sharp clear shots, great all around camera, good anti red-eye camera.

Weaknesses
Viewfinder could be bigger, limited existing low light shots when not using flash.

Customer Service
I haven''t needed to call for any problems on this camera yet, but I did have some technical questions regarding new Advantix APS MAX films. The customer service rep did not have the answer at hand bu
