Summary: Excellent camera!

Comment: This camera is one of my all time favorites!
Even though I am well into the digital revolution I can't
bring myself to sell this camera. Rarely use it now but for years
it delivered very good images.
The best qualities of this camera are the ability to use the panaramic
format and the speed and ease of operation. There were many shots
that I captured because this could be implemented immediately and easily when surprised by interesting subject matter.
The negitive is small but when processed via Kodak includes very specific information allowing for development of the picture that is remarkably similiar to what you actually observed at the time of capture.
Full rich color and sharp pictures made this camera a joy to use.
Boy weren't those simpler times!

Summary: EOS IX Lite vs EOS IX

Comment: Bought a EOS IX lite originally - had lousy pictures - was going to give up on the APS system - but then saw on EBAY the EOS IX ( not lite )and gave that a try - WOW! the difference is incredible. The pictures were sharp and clear - my advice is to NOT buy the EOS IX lite but rather find an old EOS IX - you will not be sorry.

Summary: Dont listen to bargain bob

Comment: I'm not quite sure what Bargain Bob is talking about, but he describes thin unit (and a film scanner) as the poor mans digital camera. With the price of the camera plus the scanner, you could purchase a very nice didgtal camera, so don't fall into that trap. If you want film, buy a film camera, if you want digital, but a digital camera...don't just get a scanner.

Summary: A Poor Man's Digital Professional Camera

Comment: ...I have the choice of all the Canon EOS lenses to use and 2700 dpi images for use in digital photography in combination with a Canon film scanner. The only draw back is that the film must be developed first.

The film scanner can make digital images that can be written to an inexpensive CD. The images are magazine quality. You can scan an entire roll of film in less than five minutes and write them with a high speed CD/RW in another five minutes. The APS format dramatically saves scanning time.

Also, I would suggest using an upgraded flash that is specifically designed to work with this unit.

Have fun.

Summary: Great Camera! Great Size!

Comment: This camera has all the functionality of other Canon cameras, but is smaller, and has the APS capability. I have no complaints whatsoever and am completely satisfied!!!
