Let me clear up some *ahem*misconceptions*ahem*.
Pretty accurate. Nice camera if you can get it near this price point.
A good pro SLR will do that, but that is not anything is the same league as mid roll rewind. Not even close.
It certainly is a bit more expensive, but shop around at walmart, or at ritz camera when they have their Fuji coupons out and then stock up. You can get 3 or 4 packs for $7-9 bucks.
No. APS is here to stay in the forseeable future.
Cmon folks if you are going to talk about this then at least know what you are talking about. If you are shooting with a crappy $15 camera using 400 speed film in poor conditions, it probably will look poor. If you shoot under normal conditions with a good camera such as this point, especially if you use 100 or 200 speed film, it will look perfectly fine. Will grain be less noticeable with 35mm? Sure, but that doesn't mean that APS will "sucketh".
That's true, but you cant do that at the time of processing with 35mm unless you get a model that physically crops the film, which obviously is something you want to avoid.
I would not recommend this to someone getting "serious" with photography. Not that the camera is not good, but there lack of upward mobility within the film format will constrain you in the future. You wont be able to get a wide variety of good and solid lenses, and some film, like black and white or infrared, is limited in APS. Dont buy an APS camera if you plan on making anything beyond 11x14. (and dont forget the effects that cropping will have.)
Its certainly better than the disposables. Most *modern* one hour photo places can do APS in one hour. This includes every walmart, ritz camera, wolf camera, etc. Your dinky neighborhood pharmacy photoshop might not be able to do it but its increasingly the standard.
If just for something to dink around with, this would be a great camera. Extremely easy to use, high quality, and yes, good pictures.
