It's ready to fire in an instant, and fully-automatic; it can measure and adjust the exposure for you, and the focus, even if the subject is moving. The pop-up flash is automatic as well, flashing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1204535 Sat, 7 Oct 2000 19:06:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-7347-2842116-39DF99A5-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/book-review-4306-A45EC07-392D7EE6-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author makav - Being from a Greek background, I have children with very long, unusual names. I always tell them that their names are unique and special, and that being different is better, but kids will be kids, so you never know how other children will react when they... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~971058 Thu, 25 May 2000 16:39:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/book-review-4306-A45EC07-392D7EE6-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-56EA-A42897E-392D763A-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author makav - OK-I admit it....when I go to the movies, it's usually for an escape, so I rarely select a movie that's a tear jerker, or high drama. So, loving the sarcastic Norm, and the twisted DeVito, I chose this movie, assuming it would be great based on the cast,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1097323 Thu, 25 May 2000 16:13:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-56EA-A42897E-392D763A-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-4257-99E486C-38A9ECF9-prod7?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author makav - This camera gives seriously advanced photographic performance with unrivaled digital image quality!

It zooms 38mm to 90mm, which is pretty average, but decent for your average point and shoot usage. What is good about this particular model is the macro/close up-it focuses to 12... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1225209 Tue, 15 Feb 2000 21:15:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-3F21-99D67B5-38A9EABA-prod7?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-2CF1-99B5CD4-38A9E57F-prod7?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author makav - This aps little camera is rather sleek looking-very different because it has this unique shell design case. It slides open to shoot, then slides closed again, and fits great in your pocket because it's ultra compact. It has a very powerful Nikon 2x lens,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1225212 Tue, 15 Feb 2000 20:57:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-2CF1-99B5CD4-38A9E57F-prod7?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-45EB-569C1D9-389F156A-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author makav - The Microtech Zoom 70 is one of the smallest 35mm to 70mm zooms I've ever seen, plus it is a precision ALL GLASS power zoom lens. One word....QUALITY. Even so, it only weighs about 8 ounces. It focuses to approximately 20 inches, and has a self timer... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1226220 Mon, 7 Feb 2000 16:03:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-45EB-569C1D9-389F156A-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-5BA8-5668E70-389F0D38-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author makav - The Yashica Zoomate 115 has a precision 38mm to 115mm sharp, power zoom lens, which is optimim for most general point and shoot situations. It looks bulky somehow, but it is really quite light and easy to handle.

The lens is very sharp and clear, and it has and electronic active infrared autofocus with focus lock, so it's difficult to take a bad picture.

We parked our car in their lot, and the parking attendant walked us to the door, opened it, and said a few kind words. We were seated immediately, and the waiter was very attentive.

After a late night in Chicago, pregnant and STARVING, my husband and I headed to Greek town, hoping something would still be open.

Ok-let's compare-it has 1.6 million pixels(1536 x 1024) per image, which... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1227164 Tue, 1 Feb 2000 16:55:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-1DC7-255FF3E-38973858-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-5F69-2555F93-389736BF-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author makav - Kodak is keeping up with the digital technology. The DC200 plus camera has a very decent image resolution of up to 1152 x 864, still keeping it photo realistic. I wouldn't go for enlargements, but snapshots really turn out pretty nice.
