Pros: See if you got the shot and order 0-9 copies right on the camera
Cons: Zooms 25-65mm only, you cannot look through all the pictures on preview screen
The Bottom Line: Not ready for a digital camera...well, here's a great alternative.

| toby2627's Full Review: Kodak Advantix Preview APS Film Camera |
So you have some extra money to spend on a camera that will make taking pictures even more fun than it already is? You've found the right camera then!
I love being able to see if my picture turns out right after I took it. I also love being able to see the picture in 3 different formats to help me choose which one I want to order.
I have only had this camera for less than a month, but the preview feature has already paid off. I took a picture of a gorgeous sunset out of a plane, hit the preview button...a blur, so I turned off the flash took it again and voila I know it's there. The other day I went to the beach and had a picture of me taken with the beach behind me and...oops! a big and ugly trash can to my left. I saw the trash can on the preview screen, retook the picture and never had to even see the "trash can copy" developed. When you are at a special place or with a special person you want to know if the pictures you are taking are coming out OK. With this camera you will.
Plus, you will never have to pay for unwanted pictures again or have to pay more for reprints. If you don't like the picture from what you see on the preview screen, you can choose not to print it. (Like I did.) On the other hand, if you really like it you can order up to nine copies right there and then, right on your camera.
I do not really like the zoom, I wish it'd be more powerful, somewhere along the lines of 20-120mm, but I can deal with that for the convenience and fun that the preview screen provides. And I also wish you could look through all the pictures on the preview screen. That would make this camera really great. But don't forget that this camera is the first of a kind...Now you can only see the last picture. Hopefully, in the future there will be more.
Another thing this camera is really great at is taking out the red eyes. My mom's eyes were always, and I mean always as in no exceptions, red on all the pictures...they look green on all of my Advantix Pictures!
This camera will also print date and time on the back of the pictures and you can choose between nine pre-set titles in 5 languages to print on the back as well. (The titles are Happy B-Day, Vacation, Graduation and etc. among those lines)
This camera also allows you to change film mid-roll, which means you can take a film that is half way exposed out of the camera and then be able to put it back in and start taken pictures right where you stopped.
