Kodak Advantix T700 Zoom APS Camera

The Advantix T700 uses Kodak's PQix (Picture Quality Information Exchange) feature, which records data about each frame on the film's magnetic strip; this ensures that your images are properly exposed and developed by your photo processor. The real-image viewfinder lets you properly frame each shot and changes the view depending on which of the three image formats you choose (C, H, or P). Kodak also included a safety interlock on the film door to make sure the door won't open until your film is completely rewound. You can imprint the date and time, or one of 41 titles in 12 languages, on your images so you never forget when you took them.

Now for the features. The rubberized, compact body easily fits in any pocket, purse, or small belt pouch. The flip-up flash helps avoid the red-eye seen in so many small camera photos. There are a number of flash options navigated on an LCD on the camera back with convenient buttons. There is even a sequential advance feature and the LCD has a backlight button for dim and dark conditions. Mid-roll rewind allows the user to change film speeds and types, or for people to share a camera with their own film cartridges.

Finally, the storage system is wonderful. Every cartridge has an I.D. No. and a matching numbered index print accompanies the processed prints. Using one of the popular small plastic photo organizers (the same size as a VHS video cassette) the user can store 12-18 cassettes (depending on the manufacturer) and matching index prints for easy reference and reprinting. The film never is touched by the user, but kept in its protective cartridge.

I have really put this little jewel through the paces, and can find few faults with it. One may be the short zoom (30-60 equivalent in 35mm) and another the limited shutter speed range (1/2-1/250th)or the slow lens (around f/8 wide open at telephoto).
Other than those few things, it's a phenom!

I took this camera to Cancun to use in various conditions down there such as the beach,clubs,and the fast moving contests during Spring Break. I was Amazed with the versitility and durability the camera possesed and the options were usefull aswell but were only understood after reading the manual a few times. Before I bought this camera I was a Bit sceptical because of bad things I heard about the quility of APS photos, I took a chance and I'm glad I did, pictures came out great execpt for some panoramic
shots in low light. The ease of using the film was great too with drop in loading, mid-roll change and after the film was proccesed I liked that the pics came back without negitives, just the same film casing for later use.

I didn't know if this camera would be worth the price, but it definately is! I love all of the features--zoom, 3 picture sizes, mid-roll change, and many more. I haven't had a picture that didn't turn out since I got this camera. The only drawback is the expensive film, but you can see the quality in the pictures. This camera is great for point and shoot and gives you great pictures every time.

For the price of this camera and it's size, it takes the best pictures I've seen. When we bought it, we were concerned about it being hard to use do to it's size. It's not. It fits nicely in your palm. It also has a feature that allows you to switch roles of film midway. On our last vacation we were able to take both color and black and whites of the same scenes. Great!
