Summary: Great Camera

Comment: When I first bought this camera, I thought it was too good to be true. I mean it's very cheap compared to other cameras with the same amount of options, and options it sure does have. There's five different flash modes for you to get the best looking picture possible, 3 different picture sizes, drop in film loading, the ability to imprint messages onto your pictures, and display of date and time the picture was taken on the back so it doesn't ruin it if you want to get enlargements. It's also very small and light, making it very easy to carry around. The quality is excellent, outdoing my old 35mm too. Overall a great camera. [...]

Summary: Great Camera, Many Functions

Comment: This is a spectacular camera. It takes good pictures, has many options, and works great. It's so small and light weight that I take it everywhere with me to make sure I don't miss a shot. The price here on amazon.com is so low too, I reccommend buying it from here if you get it...

Summary: Great gift...good options and functions

Comment: I have this camera and love it! I live in the mountains and take a wide variety of pictures and this camera can handle them all. The panoramic and landscape functions are particularly helpful. I also like that the camera has a function that prevents you from taking pictures when the lighting isn't good enough (green light flashes)or the subject isn't in focus(red light flashes). Keeps you from having terrible pictures developed! It is compact and lightweight but still has a realy large zoom lens. Great camera for all occasions...

Summary: Camera never worked right, company totally sucky

Comment: My Yashica camera didn't work right from the get-go. My pictures came out blurry and dark no matter what speed film I used or what conditions my subjects were in. So, I sent the camera back to the company for repair. FOUR MONTHS later, they returned it to me with a list of all the things they "adjusted." But all the pictures I took were STILL dark and blurry, which means they either did nothing for four months, or they "adjusted" a few token things but didn't test it out to see if it was working right yet.

Either way, that's pretty cruddy behavior.

So, I sent the camera back AGAIN (with sample photos). This time, they didn't get back to me, despite the fact I sent TWO letters inquiring about the status of the camera. Finally, I called them and they said they had never received it.

Okay, so, good thing I sent it insured mail, right? But why didn't they answer my letters? Why didn't they repair it the first time around?

So, my review is: you can't trust the quality of this camera and you certainly can't trust the company to do anything for you if your camera is defective. Buy somewhere else!
