Digital camera reviews of Kodak C800 Advantix Zoom APS CameraDigital camera Review: Also had premature rewind trouble Summary: 4 Stars
The photos are beautiful and the camera is easy to use, but like a previous poster, I also had rewind trouble, starting with the second roll of film ever put in this camera! I bought this camera specifically for a European vacation and 5 of 14 rolls prematurely rewinded in the middle of the roll (wasting quite a bit of film). But, if this happens to you, know that even though the symbols on the side of the film canister will indicate the roll has never been used, the photos WERE captured, so don't reuse this roll! Still bring the film to your developer and explain to them that photos ARE on the roll, and the symbol on side of the film canister is wrong. I called Kodak when I returned from my trip... the first rep wasn't very helpful, telling me I must have the camera serviced even though it was only 6 weeks old! I finally got a 'consumer advocate' who was extremely helpful! I had a new camera and lots of free film within days (they are aware of this camera's problem). I actually have the C850, but from what I can see, the C800 and the C850 are the same camera... the user's manual cover page has both style numbers on it.
Summary of Kodak C800 Advantix Zoom APS CameraThe C800 Advantix camera from Kodak is an Advanced Photo System camera with point-and-shoot simplicity. It features a 27-80mm motorized zoom lens and infrared autofocusing, letting you snap photos from 2 feet and beyond. A pop-up flash fires automatically in low-light situations and fires away from the lens, reducing red-eye. Auto close prevents washout photos, and multibeam focusing keeps your subject in focus when taking wide-angle pictures. The flash folds down when the camera is off and serves as a protective lens cap.The Kodak C800 records lighting and color data on the film's magnetic strip for the photo lab to use when developing, and it imprints each shot with time and date. Because this camera is a member of the APS line, it offers three print formats--classic, group, and panoramic. The viewfinder displays your selected picture format. The Kodak C800 automatically advances and rewinds film, and the safety interlock prevents the door from opening until the roll is completely rewound. The timer allows you to take self-portraits or to include yourself in group shots. Kodak's midroll change feature lets you change film speed or remove and reload a film cassette. A roll of Kodak Advantix color film, battery, coupon book, instructional manual, and detachable camera strap are included. Kodak offers a one-year warranty for parts and labor.
