Why. For scenics, it does OK (see images), but for the regular, "here are me and my friends at." shots, you can't beat it. I wrote the review by "A Customer" a few years back, and now, even after buying my third digital camera in 10 years, I still buy film for my Elph LT. It's a great spare camera you can take places you wouldn't take your digital. So, parties, at a bar or nightclub, self portaits in the scrambler at Six Flags, or the fishing charter you're going to get sick on.I always used Kodak film and used the true Kodak processing (which automatically removed red-eye), but it is no longer available, but maybe with Fuji film and Fuji processing, as good results are possible.So, if you've come by one of these cameras, know that you have something that is a step above a 35mm snapshot camera, and that you don't have a piece of useless junk, even at this date. For snapshots, APS really did a better job than 35mm (information about the scene is magnetically recorded on the film roll so prints come out their best). I know this because I still fed film into my Yashica T5 too up until last week, and it will probably go on the shelf for good, but the Elph will continue to have film in it as long as I can buy it and get it processed.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3S 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) I love it and it is easy to use. I recently purchased my first digital camera, a panasonic. I would not choose this camera unless you are very mechanically inclined. I took this camera to Paris, my first time there, some of the photos were great and the others were awful. It could be user error since I am not very good with cameras.
And I'm the kinda person that takes pictures hanging out the car window and on the back of a 4 wheeler. And all on the same roll of film.
I would highly recommend this camera. So easy.
Like a lot of the other reviewers have said, this camera takes great pictures. It's so nice to be able to capture a panoramic picture whenever you want, and be able to switch back to regular sized photos with the touch of a button.
And with such a low price, you cant go wrong. Clear and crisp.
It's as if I was standing still.
Though not particularly inexpenxive, the APS film system is reasonable, and the pictures turn out great. With three photo sizes that change in the viewer, one is always guaranteed to know approximately how thier photo will turn out. For a younger, or older, aspiring photographer, this is the camera to start with. Even for people on a low budget this season, this is a great, fun, easy-to-use gift. I have owned one of these for almost 2 years now, and have found many ways to get exactly the picture I want.
the different settings are good too, especially the panoramic. i bought this camera right before a trip, and was a little nervous using a new camera. i've owned more expensive cameras that did not take pictures this well. film, batteries and developing may be a wee bit more, but it is definitely worth it. i was not disappointed, every picture came out crisp and clear. the size is great, so small you can easily put it in your pocket.
