Editorial Reviews : The Kodak Advantix T550 autofocus camera offers an ultracompact design--one of the smallest cameras in its class. It offers fully automatic operation and shutter speeds ranging from 1/500 to 1/4 of a second. It offers an active 130-zone focus mechanism for clear shots every time, and five flash modes. The specially designed flash flips up to put extra distance between flash and lens to help eliminate red-eye problems, and flips down to turn off the camera and protect the lens. Film loading, as with any APS camera, is drop-in simple, and you can change film canisters midway through a roll. Users choose between three print formats on every shot. Users can also date-stamp and add messages to the back of prints with a five-language print-titling feature.
The Kodak Advantix T550 comes with one roll of Kodak Advantix color print film, a 3-volt lithium Kodak battery, coupon book, survey card, instruction manual, and a detachable camera strap with control-button activator. Also included is a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
Buyer Reviews : I bought one of these little APS cameras on a whim right after Christmas about 2 years ago when the price was reduced ... I was having lots of trouble with my fancy and expensive Nikon Nuvis 120i APS so I needed another camera for all the APS film that I had. The ... Nikon took terrible pictures and I figured this camera had to do a little bit better. Boy, was I wrong! It takes great pictures! I carried it all over Europe last summer in my pants pocket while I watched other photographers lugging around their thousand dollar SLR's. No one ever knew I had a camera 'till I pulled it out, flipped up the lens cover (which doubles as a flash) and started snapping away. About the only feature it doesn't have is a zoom lens (which I would rarely use anyway). Go to your favorite camera store a take a look at this little gem and play around with it. Good Points: Tiny,like a pack of cigarettes, lightweight, flip up flash, sharp lens, fully automatic, self timer, drop in film loading, reduced red eye from the flip up flash. A LOT of camera for the money. Kodak did their homework on this one! Bad Points: APS film (more expensive), no zoom, tiny viewfinder.(sometimes it takes a second to get your eye propery aligned) I now have a months worth of euro-photos(about 250 pictures)to remind me of my great trip and not one turned out unacceptable.
