I LOVE this camera!! I LOVE this camera. So much so that this is my second one. I dropped the first one on a stone floor and broke the door latch. It takes consistently GREAT pictures - I use Kodak MAX 800 speed film. People always complement the color and clarity. It's compact enough to carry in a purse or backpack. The only downside I could mention would be that you can't take pictures in rapid succession.
Beautiful! I love my Minolta 160c. It is the best camera I have ever had. I am not a professional photographer the camera I used prior to this was a canon snappy that is 10 years old.

A dreadful product I bought this camera specifically for the zoom capability. That was fine. Pictures are clear. The trouble with this camera is the On and OFF switch. Sometimes it works..sometimes not. Higher altitude at times cause the problem but even at 200 feet above sealevel it doesn't work.The film has gotten caught up at times and won't auto rewind or wind with new film. I say buy a camera that you know is reliable. I since have bought a Canon Sure Shot 115 and very happy..plus its cheaper.
