| embens's Full Review: Canon Elph 240 APS Film Camera |
I received this camera as a gift a couple of years ago. I didn't use it a lot at first because of the expense of the film and processing. But, after hearing the advantix system delivered higher quality photos, I gave it a shot, (no pun intended!) I used about two rolls of film taking pictures at my son's baptism. It was a nice day, so most of the pictures were taken outside. The problem, most of the pictures were taken under a tree, with the sun visible in the distance. The flash never went off. All the people are in the shadow of the tree. And you can't just point and shoot with this camera. There is approximately a 2 - 3 second delay between pushing the button and having the picture take. Not good if you have children.
A couple of weeks later my mom took the camera to Ireland. The panoramic landscape shots she took were beautiful. Each one better than the last. The camera is small and liteweight. It comes with a small leather pouch with a belt strap which made it very convenient.
