This camera is easy to use. Autofocus is responsive and works well. Putting a film is easy as well, you drop the film, tear the film leader up to the mark and that's it. The camera winds it automatically. It has some settings if needed, the menu is very easy to access on a big clear LCD screen.

It's a good point and shoot camera with a moderate wide angle zoom lens, good picture quality, nice finish in a very small and light body. It sets the flash on from start, but has a flash off mode. A nice camera, easy point and shoot with zoom.
