Poor picture quality.......2007-04-17

Better late than never with my review I guess. You get what you pay. The price was cheap but the picture quality was very poor. Even in bright outdoor situations, the pictures were under exposed and grainy. Really disappointed with this and we ended up buying a new camera soon afterwards.

Buy a Disposable over this.......2003-11-18

Very disappointed. The pictures are focused incorrectly. The flash is off so that half the picture gets the flash light and the other half is in a shadow. My disposable cameras take better pictures. I was hoping for a very simple camera that took better than disposable camera quality pictures. Very disappointed.

Amazing pictures- great price!.......2003-08-04

I didn't expect this much from a camera that costs this little. The pictures are nice and clear, and the zoom is great for close-ups of active kids. I'm impressed!

very disappointed.......2003-07-28

This camera has been a disappointment from day one. It was hard to load even using DX film. After only two rolls of film, I started getting a flashing "H". The battery was still full although I replaced it anyway. I reloaded film and tried all troubleshooting suggestions. The "H" still appears. Customer service would not help except to tell me to pay for repairs.

well done, but doesn't have the battery saving auto off.......2003-07-10

Its a wonderful camera with all the nice features. I really liked it. I have used it on a trip to Niagara Falls and the photos came out fantastic even in low light. My only negative about this is that it doesn't have the auto shutoff feature.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom date (platinum) kit provides the casual photographer with a maximum array of features in a sleek, ultracompact design. An advanced three-point, 280-step Smart Autofocus system quickly and concisely identifies and focuses on the main subjects of your shot. The power zoom ratio, controlled by two oversized buttons, is located in the front for convenience and quick access. The built-in lens cap opens and closes automatically, allowing for simple user operation and making the Sure Shot 85 Zoom perfect for beginners.

Its 38-85mm (2.2x) power zoom lens lets you select the composition that you want. The 38mm is great for wide-angle shots, group scenes, or landscapes, while 85mm is ideal for intimate portraits and close-ups. Or set it somewhere in between--this camera's zoom selection makes it easy to capture the moment. The ultrafast Real Time shutter setting is ideal for capturing sports or other action shots. Whatever the situation, Canon's three-point Autofocus produces sharp, dramatically vivid photos every time.

To help you remember special events, a date imprint feature is available. Five flash modes provide balanced and accurate lighting to your scene, whether you are inside or outdoors. These flash modes also enhance the creative control you have over the shot. For example, the slow-sync flash mode adjusts the flash and shutter speed in order to reveal both background and foreground subjects with perfect clarity. The Canon Sure Shot 85 also comes with a self-timer, red-eye reduction, and automatic film load, advance, and rewind. Green and orange LED indicators, located in the viewfinder, inform users of acceptable or warning conditions. This package includes the Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom camera, a neck strap, soft case, one roll of 12-exposure ISO 100 film, and one 3-volt CR123A lithium battery.

The Best Camera That Canon Makes.......2006-03-24

This camera was and still is a A+ camera for me. I have had it since 3rd grade and it was a great starter camera. It is very easy to take pictures with. It also is extremely user friendly and you don't have to be a rocket scietist to use it!!! [...]

don't bother with this camera.......2003-11-12

This camera is a piece of crap! I had a Nikon many years ago that I foolishly sold, for this more "Easy to use" Sure Shot. It should be called the Sure Sucks. Red eye everywhere even when the function is turned on, and the "auto focus" when shooting indoors in low light is terrible. This "hold button halfway down, then wait for the light, then shoot" garbage is ridiculous in today's technology. I am selling this as quickly as I can and am truly disappointed in the Canon name- which I trusted when I bought this camera.

Great pictures with the right film.......2002-01-04

I bought this camera for my mom, I received a free roll of film Kodak Max 400. The pictures came out super, it was clear, the colours were rich, bright and very detailed.
I recommend the use of this film, its excellent, not only for this particular camera but any other camera.

Red Eye -- Red Eye ..........2001-12-10

I had a Ricoh 35mm for about 12 years (I loved that camera - I took it everywhere). It finally just broke. I needed a new camera - after many hours of research we decided to buy a canon. We bought the 85 and the 120. We took identical pictures with both cameras. The 85 had red eye problems even when the red-eye function was on. The 120 has similar but fewer red-eye problems. The color and crispness was beautiful. However, the red-eye simply ruins the photos. I never used the red-eye function on my Ricoh - and when reviewing my last few hundred photos - I noticed that I never had red-eye. I'm so dissapointed that Ricoh no longer sells the 35mm. I returned both cameras. I am now stuck with no camera. Do not buy this camera!
