accessibility to developing
(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 10, 2002 (Sonora, CA USA)When I took my first roll in to be sent to Kodak and developed it
came back with completely different pictures than I had chosen for the most part and the incorrect numbers of the three that they got correct. I have called numerous photo developers in our area and none have the capacity to do the developing in the store. Also the developing was far more expensive than any other film..amounting to approximately .89 cents per print. I called Kodak to see if there was a mail in way to develop these correctly and after many different calls and much research was directed to a company who will send me a form to order "envelopes" at 12.99 each, and I must order 5 of them at a time.
When I send the film in in the envelope they will develop the photos and, I assume, charge extra for the extra photos ordered.
The photos that I got were just O K...not the quality of my SLR cameras.
I like the display to be able to see the image immediately, but I expected that I would be able to review all of them at the end...not true. I would wait to buy this camera until the developing becomes simpler and accurate, and perhaps the screen a bit clearer. The viewfinder size seemed adequate to me.

Needs more directions
(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 3, 2002I still do not know how to use the self-timer or where it even is after a year.Is there a remote that goes to this camera?Also the skin tones are too light sometimes.How can I avoid too light with the auto flash and could someone tell me how the autoflash works.Friends like it however.Too small a view finder.Why is it you can never get all the features you want in one camera?Why not a big view finder on all cameras?I lose shots trying to focus with the tiny view finder.
