Canon ELPH Z3 Compact Film Camera Kit
Amazon.com Product Description:
The sleek, compact Elph Z3 from Canon slips easily into a purse or pocket, and its stylish, futuristic design and advanced features make this APS camera a must-have for gadget lovers.
With all the attention Canon's Digital Elph series has been receiving, it's easy to forget that the first Elph models were film cameras. This latest-generation model has much in common with its predecessors, including a chrome-and-aluminum body, diminutive dimensions, and use of the Advanced Photo System (APS) format.
Refinements for this model include a longer, lower shape--less like a deck of cards and more like a cell phone--and a backlit status LCD that emits a cool blue glow at the push of a button. Several other features were revised to improve photo quality, including a redesigned lens and a newly developed passive autofocus system. Additional features include a 2.3x zoom, spot metering, self-timer, and a five-mode flash with red-eye reduction.
A lithium CR123A battery provides power, and the camera uses APS film, a format jointly developed by five leading photo companies in 1996. The APS format is designed to take advantage of a number of technological advances developed in the decades since the introduction of 35mm film. Here are the main advantages to the APS format:
- Size and convenience: An APS cartridge is smaller than 35mm, and the film is completely enclosed, which simplifies film loading.
- Midroll rewind: Many cameras let you switch film midroll, allowing you to shoot in both color and black and white. Each roll has an indicator on top that lets you know if the film inside is unused, partially exposed, totally exposed, or developed. After developing, the negatives remain inside the cartridge for protection and long-term storage.
- Three print sizes: Most APS cameras let you choose from three proportions for your prints--'classic,' which is a 3:2 ratio like 35mm; 'HDTV,' which is a 16:9 wide-screen format, and 'panoramic,' which is a long 3:1 print.
- Magnetic information storage: The film is coated with a magnetic layer much like a videotape. This layer can store information from the camera that can be used during developing and printing to make the best possible prints. This also means that photo time and date information can be printed on the back of each picture instead of the front.
The two biggest drawbacks to the format are size and availability. The negative is approximately half the size of 35mm, so each photo has less detail than an equivalent 35mm negative. This can result in pictures that look grainy, especially when enlarged. Though the format is popular, it's still relatively new, so the film can be harder to find than 35mm film and developing may be slightly more expensive.

Rating:  - Nice little camera.
I bought this little Elph Z3 for my Mom who usually just takes pictures on birthdays and holidays. For her this camera is very easy to use. The only issue she's had with it is that she carries it in her purse and then forgets to check the photo size setting before she takes pictures, so she's ended up with some panorama photos when she didn't want them. I have an older Minolta APS that I love so I thought APS would be the easiest for my Mom to deal with. We had a bad experience with my old 35mm camera. ... Read More

I love this camera because it offers three different picture sizes and has the zoom lense. It is the second one I have owned. The only problem I have with it is putting in the date. A friend always has to do this for me.
Rating: - Great Camera
People dont realize its not just the camera that takes good pictures, but how the person uses the camera.I bought this camera in 2002 and i still have it. It takes great pictures. I took pictures of weddings and parties and the picture came out great. People loved the pictures. Cameras do break so you do have to be careful how you load the film. The only bad thing about the camera is you have to push the button down for a second, then release it and it takes a moment to take the picture so this camera ... Read More
Rating:  - it's alright
I have had this camera for a few months now and while taking pictures it all of a sudden, it froze on me and now it is useless. I probably will have to pay more for fixing it than it is worth. I would definitely invest in a different camera.
Rating:  - Problem with film loading compartment!
I received this camera as a gift in June 2003 and used it maybe 10 times over the course of a year.Then all of a sudden the "EASY"APS loading dock started to get very fussy.After about a month of playing to get the film loaded, the camera stoppped letting the film out of the compartment!It's broke and I can't get it working!I took it to the Camera Shop and they said it would cost $110.00 to fix it!Forget it!I'm going back to 35MM - the film is cheaper and it cost a lot less to get developed. ...
