Pros: Its small and has easy loading
Cons: Costed too much. Film is more expensive to buy, processing is more. POOR, POOR quality!
The Bottom Line: Do not buy! Way too expensive to buy, get the film, and process and horrible quality to boot! Better off with something else.

| jopurich's Full Review: Kodak Advantix F300 Auto APS Film Camera |
I was totally gipped with this Kodak advantix camera, let me tell you! It was my first camera ever, so I guess I didn't know much but I liked the idea of being able to shoot three different types of pictures. So I paid the ridiculous price tag of $60! What a rip off! I can't believe I paid so much for such a mediocre camera.
Not only is the film really expensive- $6 for 25 exposures but the processing is even more! Cheapest deal I found is at CVS for 8.99 for ONE set! And of course you never get it for one hour- usually a day or two. If you want to sets, it ends up being around $13. The one hour shops charged me $15 for 2 sets of pictures on this camera! And I tried to tell them that i barely used the other settings, just the regular, but it apparently didn't matter.
But thats not what ticks me off the most. It's the POOR POOR picture quality I get with this camera. Do not take far away shots- they come out very blurry! Do not take really close shots, because the flash is so intense, you end up looking as white as a ghost- okay I know I'm white, but I'm not THAT white! The color quality is also totally off. I was trying to take a picture of some fabric for my mom to sell on ebay and mind you the fabric is grey but the camera seems to think its blue!
I know its small and its cute. Very easy to fit in my little purse and super easy loading. BUT if I can't get good quality pictures and its going to cost me a fortune to produce horrible pictues than you can keep it.
I took a wonderful trip to Aruba and I have horrible photos of it! I've had it with this camera! I just bought a Canon sure shot 76 with a zoom lens for a $100 and I think it will be much better- I'll post an opinion when I develop my first roll! Good luck with the camera shopping, but don't look here!
