Editorial Reviews : The C700 Advantix camera from Kodak is an Advanced Photo System camera with a 30-60mm motorized zoom lens that captures portrait, group, and panoramic shots. Point-and-shoot simplicity and infrared autofocusing let you take photos from 2 feet and beyond. An automatic pop-up flash fires automatically in low-light situations. The Kodak C700 records lighting and color data on the film's magnetic strip for the photo lab to use when developing, and it also imprints each picture with date and time information. Because the Kodak C700 is an APS camera, it offers three picture formats--classic, group, or panorama--at the touch of a button. The viewfinder displays the selected picture size for simplified camera operation. The self-timer lets you snap self-portraits or include yourself in group photos.
The Kodak C700 automatically advances and rewinds film, and the safety interlock prevents the film door from opening until the roll is completely rewound. Kodak's midroll change feature enables you to remove and reload the film cartridges or switch film speed. The Kodak C700 comes with a roll of Kodak Advantix color film, battery, coupon book, instructional manual, and detachable camera strap.
Kodak offers a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
Buyer Reviews : I purchased this camera mainly for the camera size and panoramic feature. The option to switch from C (classic-4x6), H (group-HDTV-4x7) - default size, or P (panoramic-4x11.5) formats at anytime is great. The features are very simple, but this camera packs a lot into its small size. The 'flash fill' feature works well. The flash bulb placement seems to reduce the red-eye as advertised. The self-timer has a delay of 10 seconds. Loading and unloading the film cassette couldn't be easier, especially with the mid-roll change feature. You can also view the film speed on the display at a few presses of a button. There are onscreen messages on the LCD display that tell you 'FLASH NOT READY' or 'MOVE BACK'. The frame counter indicates how many exposures you have left.
The date & time imprinting allows you to choose several formats for the date (mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy, yy/mm/dd) and time (12 or 24 hour). The nice thing is that it is imprinted on the back of the print instead of the front of the print.
There are two title options: roll and/or print. There are 30 preset titles to choose from. The roll title comes in handy when getting the index print. One thing to keep in mind if you are using the same title for both roll and print (e.g. 'Vacation'), then both titles appear on the back of the print (e.g. 'Vacation', 'Vacation'), which can make it seem redundant.
The mid-roll change (MRC) feature is an added bonus, allowing you to switch between different rolls (e.g. change a paritally exposed roll of 400 speed color film to a roll of 400 speed black & white film or 200 speed color film, then back again). There is a nice safety feature in which the film door locks, so you can't open it until the entire roll has rewound (either by using all exposures or using the mid-roll feature). Although reloading is easy, the downside is waiting for it to advance to the correct location (you can hear it go through one frame at a time until it finds an unexposed frame). However, that is a little sacrifice for the MRC feature.
Overall, this is a great little camera if you want something small, but dependable to carry around. The prints are excellent for a non-SLR camera.
