    Good Points: Very easy to learn to use.

    Nice and lightweight.
    Takes fantastic portrait photos.

    Bad Points: Nothing I have seen for an entry level SLR film.


    General comments: I know film cameras are more cumbersome, and you don't see what you have taken until next week, and there is also the cost of film and developing, BUT a film is equivalent to a 56Mb digital which I doubt is even made yet. And the Minolta Dynax 404si 35mm SLR camera's are available on eBay at a quarter of the price of a pocket point and shoot digital.

    Use this for the important photos, such as weddings and christenings etc., and use the pocket digital for travel, as they are less cumbersome.
