Fixed focus, max 32 picture memory, self-deciding flash, no zoom.


General Comments

Bought for €65.00 (£47.00) in January sale. Pretty camera, looks the real thing, not toy-ish like many other brands. Uses 2 (cheap) AA batteries. Came with USB cable and tripod. Picture quality is rather poor, with lack of sharpness. Longshots are useless, since focus seems to be fixed at some 3 meter (10 ft) distance. Everything closer or further away is more or less blurred. Flash has a will of it's own, can't be used as a fill-in flash. No white balance, usually quite cool (= blue) photo's. Worst of all: my camera has a distinct "halo-effect": increased darkness towards the corners and edges.
Conclusion: right price for this (low) quality camera. Visit my website for pictures:

    I have misplaced my U.S.B. cable for my Agfa CL18.

    Can you tell me how to get a replacement. Maybe those who have the camera and will never use it again would allow me to purchase this cable.
