Kodak Advantix 4100 IX APS Film Camera

Pros: Great pictures, drop in loading, tells you everything you need to know
Cons: expensive film and processing

About 2 years ago, we were desperate for a new camera. You see, our genius photographer (me) was not doing such a great job at taking pictures. I kept forgetting to remove the film after it rewound... and I would re-use the film. Whoops! Obviously,...

Pros: Zoom, compact, timer, date stamp
Cons: sometimes it takes a few seconds to take a picture.

I just love my Advantix camera from Kodak. Before that I had a 35mm from Canon. It was nice and did it's job. But, it had a mind of it's own and started to rewind the film at the end by itself. Not to mention that it was big and bulky. So, I decided I...

Pros: Easy to use, Good features
Cons: Small zoom, No mid roll film change

Once again Kodak has made a great camera, but the APS film is not as sharp as 35 mm.

What is APS:
APS (Advanced Photo System) is a smaller film format that 35 mm it is 24 mm. This smaller film allows for smaller cameras, and the ability...

Pros: very easy to use
Cons: no camera case

This camera is so easy to use, it makes taking pictures fun. We have 2 small children so needless to say we take a lot of pictures, and this camera truly makes for wonderful Kodak moments. It is so easy to load the film into the camera. You literally...

Pros: Durability, Battery life
Cons: not good night shots

The Kodak Advantix 400 ix Zoom is one camera that is worth buying. It has zoom, three different picture modes, Red eye reduction and a built-in date feature. It makes things that are out of focus go into focus, and the film that they use is some of the...

Pros: takes great shots, easy to learn
Cons: will not always take picture, film developing is pricey

I love this camera! I received it as a Christmas present last year and it has been with me ever since. It is fantastic for following the kids around and getting in fun action shots. It focuses itself so there is no annoying mom in the background...

Pros: Easy, lots of nice features
Cons: Expensive film and development

Recently my husband purchased an expensive camera and accessories. But I'll just take my Kodak Advantix though, thank you very much. I want a camera I don't have to think about. I like to take lots of pictures on the spur of the moment. This is a...

Pros: Easy to use and still great end results
Cons: battery needs changed often

Overall this has been an excellent camera and has served me well both as a recreational/snapshoty type of camera and also as a means to express my artistic side.

One of the best things about the APS system is the overall ease of loading and...

Pros: zoom, panoramic, group & classic shots
Cons: the viewfinder is small & a little too far towards the center of camera

The 4100ix is the first camera of the ADVANTIX family I've purchased. I love the three different picture options you can choose from. Somehow, the regular 4x6 size doesn't capture the beauty of the Colorado Rockies like a panoramic shot.

It...

Pros: inexpensive, reliable, good quality
Cons: none

I spent quite a while searching for the perfect APS camera for my needs. Finally, after months of testing and asking questions, I bought the Kodak 4100ix camera. I'd been using APS film for some time already (using the disposable Kodak cameras) so I knew...

Pros: easy to use, no negatives all over, choose size of picture
Cons: cost of having the big pictures developed

I bought this camera because I have one of those big ones that you need to focus and I was missing shots of my boys. I thought this would be a good value. I also liked the idea of adjustable picture sizes.

I love it. It is so easy to use...

Pros: Great "extra" features.
Cons: Delay when taking pictures and rewind seems to take a bit longer then the other model I've used.

This Kodak Advantix is the second camera in the Advantix line that I have owned. The first camera was the cheaper 2800, which has 3 picture formats (C,H,P;later explained), automatic focus, and no text or date option. It had drop in loading and...

Pros: Easy to use, durable
Cons: delay between pushing button and flash

I purchased this camera to take pictures while I was assigned to an Air Force Base in Iceland. After seeing what a beautiful country it was I wanted to capture that beauty on film. It is easy to use, just push a button or flip a switch and you can take...

Pros: Ability to take panoramic photos and advanced photo system
Cons: Red eye and hard to look through (read review)

Okay, I graduated to the world of "it's time to get a decent camera." I am not a professional photographer by far and I didn't have the slightest idea how to pick out a camera. But, I was preparing for a trip to England and France, so I knew...

Pros: drop in loading, some neat features
Cons: expensive film and processing, small buttons, film quality not great

My husband and I got this as a Christmas gift last year and have had plenty of opportunity to use it since then.

Pros: The drop in loading is quick, and fool proof to do. I think it is my favorite aspect of the camera. There are three styles...
