Advantages: takes 3 different sized photos, easy to load film

Disadvantages: more expensive to have developed

There wasn't a section for the F300 camera, so I have put it in the F350 one.

I bought this camera nearly 12 months ago for £39.99. It is an APS camera and is very small and compact compared to my previous camera. It has a built in flash, and a focus-free lens. It also provides double-exposure prevention.

As with all APS cameras it can take 3 different sized photographs - classic, HDTV, and panoramic. For general photographs I tend to set the camera to HDTV as then it will take pictures of a standard size. For wide angled photos, I set the camera to panoramic. This is ideal for taking group photographs, scenic pictures, or if you wanted to take a long distance shot. The classic size is the smallest size photograph, and is ideal for taking close up pictures, and if you don't want much of the background in view.

I find that loading films into the camera is very simple to do, unlike an older camera. All you do is pop the film into the slot and shut the door. It then winds on automatically, no more trying to pull the film out slightly to load!

When you have your photos developed, you are provided with a little index card that shows each photo that you have taken in order. This is very useful when you are trying to remember how old your child was when the photo was taken.

The only drawbacks are that the films are more expensive to have developed than normal films, and some places charge extra for the HDTV and panoramic shots.

Apart from that it takes very clear photographs and I am very pleased with it.
