Summary
I ran into this when I was shopping around for a digital Camera. The only reason why I bought this is because it was $91.00. It was a clearance item and was also a display item. Usually my first roll of film turns out with some bad pictures. I expected this to do same. When I got the pictures back, all pictures were perfect. This is my first SLR camera and I think if I bought it at $230.00, I will still be satisfied. I really love this camera.

Strengths
The autofocus works perfect. You really do not have to be a professional to use this camera. Works just like my P-S camera. It does alot more features than most in its price category(Remote control, Zoom of 28mm-120mm, Dual flash)

Weaknesses
If you are a professional who requires a zoom range greater than that in the casual range, you may find it difficult getting the right lense accessories for this camera

Summary
Excellent SRL with both automatic and manual features, zoom/wide-angle lens, fairly easy to learn and use. I took this to Italy recently, shot over 100 photos, and all but one or two (operator learning curve) are very nice indeed

Strengths
Great zoom/wide angle range, ability to either use automatic or various manual ranges. Excellent dual flash.

Weaknesses
Kind of heavy and not waterproof. I had to hide for a while in Pisa because of this. Some will not like a film camera, I prefer them.
