Kodak Advantix C750 APS Date Camera film camera Reviews

Kodak Advantix C750 APS Date Camera

Well worth the extra processing fees 2003-06-24

This is by far the best little camera I've owned. After losing my Pentax in a burglary, I searched for a compact, versatile replacement and decided, after reading the reviews, on the Advantix C750. I've taken about 8 rolls of film so far and been delighted with the results. Outdoor shots are perfect and I love being able to decide before each shot whether I need panoramic or "family" sized prints or just "regular" prints. The only photos which haven't been quite up to par are telephoto indoor pictures in less than great lighting ... these turned out somewhat grainy but I'm being very picky here. The compact sizing encourages me to carry the camera wherever I go. Even though the film and processing are a little more than with regular cameras, I am so pleased with the APS results that I still think it's a bargain. Although there are a great many "menu" features available, such as deciding right before the shot how many prints you will want of it, and adding a title right then and there, for most people the simplicity of use is what will appeal. It's pretty much idiot-proof, especially as the film winds itself on and off - no slipping possible. I highly recommend this camera for every day use.

Lightweight, sharp pics, different modes, but construction?? 2003-01-02

I purchased this camera for my parents for an upcoming vacation they were going to take. The overall impression was that it was Kodak, came with a better than average zoom feature, provided different modes of APS picture taking and came with numerous rolls of film.

When the camera arrived, we were all pleased with its size and weight. It is extremly small and fits my mothers small hands and purse great, and it's one of the lightest camera's I've ever held.

The functionality is pretty straight forward: Takes classic (standard), Panoramic, and HD pics (slightly large than standard) on APS film. We were able to set the date and time and take pics within minutes. Came with a wrist strap, battery, and a decent case as well.

However, the first rolls we developed were blurry, clearly the lens was defective upon arrival. We returned the camera and had it repaced with the same model. The pictures turned out excellent, however, the acryllic lens cap was cracked upon arrival. This suggests to me that the lightweight materials and construction may a bit to light weight and fragile for the cost.

The saving grace is that it does have one of the better zoom features, it's size, and the extra film you get with this bundle. Though you get more B&W than color. And despite the slightly cracked lens cover, it takes fabulous pictures for a point and shoot.

The only awkward feature was the lens cap/flash combination. The flash is part of the tilt up lens cover. Of course you must fold up the lens cap/cover anytime you take a picture (flash or not), but it seems like it may possibly be susceptible to accidental damage. Especially if you forget to place the zoom feature back to normal. Takes some getting used to.

Excellent camera for a great price 2002-12-01

I received this camera as a Christmas gift last year. I had done research on the internet and knew I wanted an APS camera with zoom capability. At the time, this camera was very hard to find.

The Kodak Adnvantix C750 has given me the sharpest pictures I've ever had with any instant camera. Close-ups are excellent. In the year I've had the camera, I've been on three vacations and every shot was crystal clear.

The camera is lightweight, compact and easy to use. Great for family shots or vacation pics.

THE VERY BEST! 2002-05-29

I am not a camera expert, but I am a 'perfect picture' fanatic...and this camera leaves me complaint-free. I traveled to Cancun in April and the Bahamas in May, and my pictures captured the weather, water..and scenery so well that I was the envy of the office. I couldn't believe it! You could see every ripple in the pool and the exact color of the ocean and sky (which I thought wouldn't be captured). Crisp doesn't even begin to describe how my pics turned out. While in the Bahamas we took a professional family portrait, then took some shots on my camera for the heck of it. Had I been able to see (beforehand) how my pics would have turned out I NEVER would have paid for a professioanl portrait. They looked EXACTLY the same!! Right now one of my co-workers is a little upset with me because he took my pics home to scan them and upon seeing them his wife threw a tantrum, and demanded a vacation....

Nice Camera for the price 2001-12-02

I bought the C750 over the Canon Elf series due to way the camera fits nicely in your hands when taking pictures. I didn't like the Canons square shape when compared to the Kodak.

For the price this is very nice camera. Great features and good quality pictures. I used for the first time on a cruise taken in October and was pleased with the pictures. Two pictures came out poor quality due to humidity fogging up the lens when I took a picture right after going outside from an air conditioned room.

I love the lens cover compared to earlier Kodak APS cameras. Earlier ones locked down with a cheap plastic clip that broke easily. The lens cover on the C750 closes tightly without the cheap clip.

Overall I would recommend this camera due to its features and price.

Wonderful!!!! 2001-11-26

I love this camera. It's a good size, not too small too make for awkward handling, but still fits nicely in my purse. It takes great photos in a variety of conditions, including nighttime shots. For the first time in my life I'm taking pictures I can be proud to show off. The zoom is a little sluggish but not enough to really bother me. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good point-and-shoot.

Great camera with great features 2001-09-03

This is my first nice camera and I love it! My favorite feature is the zoom. I have a one year old, and it is great to be able to get close up pictures without her grabbing the camera. I also like the date being printed on the back of the pictures. This makes it easy to keep track of her age if I fall behind on organizing my photo albums. I do have one recommendation. Only use 200 speed film (unless you are going to be taking alot of action shots) because the picture quality tends to be alot better than when using 400.

extremely happy with this camera 2001-07-20

When I first saw this camera I thought it looked like a toy and wondered how the pictures would turn out. Well, believe me I was pleasantly surprised...the pictures were beautiful! In any light the pictures were clear, and the raised flash really works in preventing "red-eye". I would highly recommend this camera to others.

It's good than other advantix TXXX or CXXX camera 2001-07-06

I have bought other kodak advantix cameras like T550, T700, and C700. However, I give or sale them to some of my friends after I bought C750. Because I feel this one is best one of all of my advantix cameras. you can compare this price of C750 which is cheaper than T700, and C800. It also is lighter than C800, and has more power functions than C700. I like it. If you want to buy a advantix camrea, it should be the best one for this price.

Excellent low cost camera! 2001-07-03

Excellent low cost camera. Great looking clear pictures. Easy to use and a great little general purpose camera. Nothing negative to say about this one.
