Kodak C650 Advantix Zoom APS Camera

The Kodak C650 records lighting and color data on the film's magnetic strip for the photo lab to use when developing, and every photo you take is labeled with the date and time. The viewfinder displays the selected picture size for simplified camera operation. The Kodak C650 automatically advances and rewinds film, and the safety interlock prevents the film door from opening until the roll is completely rewound. The self-timer lets you take self-portraits or include yourself in group photos. The kit includes a roll of Kodak Advantix color film, a battery, a coupon book, an instructional manual, and a detachable camera strap.

Kodak offers a one-year warranty on parts and labor for this camera.

Another great thing about it is the timer, so you can get great shots of the family without having to say "I was the one taking the pic", when your kids ask you why you arent in the family picture! There are several flash options and several focus options. I always use automatic on both because it is easier. The camera is also made to take pics well at night.(Theres a flash option for that). The viewfinder works great and right on, unlike other cameras where you take a pic of someones head and get them developed only to find that you took a pic of hid or her belly! Another plus to the camera is the style, it is small and compact yet made durable and looks great! It takes 4 AA batteries, when you put the film in it will not let you remove it until it is finished rewinding therefore avoiding you from taking it out when you still have pics left!The film is also drop in and drop out, no messing with loading or any [stuff] like that. Umm another thing thats neat is that the date stays on even even when the camera is off.

Kodak is a great brand and honors warranties should anything happen to yours. I hope this help you out!

an honest review of this camera from an amateur photographer   May 14, 2001

i was kind of nervous about buying a camera, and only had one set of criteria: that it not be a digital camera, because i'm not a fan of taking pictures with that kind of camera. So, while searching for cameras, i came upon this one. I liked it because i'm a junior in high school, and my prom was in a week, and i needed a camera small and light enough to not be a burden to take around. This matched that criteria, and after my dad, who is much more professional than I at photgraphy, agreed it was the best match for me, we bought it. i was actually worried, because i didn't have time to experiment with it before the prom. thankfully, the direction manual is easy to comprehend, as is the actual camera. i just got the pictures back, and i'm amazed at the superior quality, especially considering the low price of the camera. no red eye, no blurriness [except for a few outside, 2 or 3 out of 85], and all around excellence, indoors and outdoors. i reccommend this fantastic camera for everyone. buying this camera was the best decision i've made as an amateur photgrapher, and i think this model would also work for more experienced photographers as well.

This is a well built and adequately featured APS film camera that takes excellent pictures with no fuss. It has some nice touches, like a viewfinder that tells you which of the 3 APS settings is selected (if you've ever gotten a panoramic of something you meant to shoot in standard, you can appreciate what a boon this is) and a standard data imprint. It also encodes your settings for the film processor, which should eliminate some mistakes in developing. All in all, a great deal on a solid camera.
