Use and Operation
Taking a picture: Almost no click, limited tactile feedback. Two-second wait between shots.
Image output: 32 minutes to transfer a full roll of film.
Battery life: More than 200 shots; uses four AA batteries. (Can use rechargeables, but AC adapter is inexplicably not included.)
Image quality: Very fuzzy photos ... with weak color. Many details disappeared entirely in test shots; colors looked washed-out.

Overall Assessment
How much would you pay for this? I would not buy this camera at anything but bargain prices.
Comments: Pivoting viewfinder is great for self-portraiture and narcissists. Stores the previous microseconds of images and can record them when you press the shutter a moment later or a few microseconds after you press the shutter. Spin Panorama software makes assembling panoramas easy. But weight and size are awkward."
