Good basic P+S.......2007-09-11

Decent amount of options, good lens quality, but do wish it had exposure compensation and spot metering, I've found many lighting situations where this camera could have used those features. Also wish the lens were a little wider angle so found a used Canon Z90W.

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.

Product Description

The super-slim Sure Shot 85 Zoom combines the power of a high quality 2.2x Canon zoom lens with a surprisingly low price giving you great results time after time.With a range of 38 to 85mm, the Sure Shot 85 Zoom is the ideal camera to capture all those shots, from wide-angle landscapes to close-up portraits. The zoom buttons are on the front of the camera, where your fingers fall naturally, making it easy to use. With its highly accurate 3-point AiAF (Artificial intelligence Autofocusing) system, you can be sure that your photos will always be razor sharp, even if the subject isn't in the center of the frame. The simple to operate mode dial has five flash modes including two automatic modes where the camera senses the light level and fires the flash accordingly. In using red-eye reduction, the flash pre-fires a second or so before the flash exposure, causing the subject's pupils to contract, thus greatly reducing the red-eye effect. Forced Flash mode allows you to use the flash even in bright light conditions, especially useful when your subject is illuminated from behind. With Slow Synchro mode for improved night-time exposures, you can be sure of optimum exposure, whatever the conditions.

A Satisfied Customer Review.......2002-12-21

I brought this camera sometime in July/August 2000. I have been using this camera for more than 2 years now. I tested it first when I went to Disneyland, LA. The pictures were awesome. I even got some great pictures of the Fireworks at the Cindrella castle. This camera is a beautiful piece and the pictures come fantastic.

The features are great. The zoom in / zoom out button on the front are more ergonomic and easier to use than the other ( Olumpus ) camera''s. It has all the features you might need for your everyday picture needs. Panoramic view and the other some times used features are missing, but I never bothered for them too. Day and Night time pictures come fantastic. I had a SLR camera earlier and this camera gavis me sharp and nice pictures just like the SLR camera. Mine had a date feature which is also very very easy to set/change.

Batttery life is excellent.

In sumary, I got what i was looking for. Its an excellent camera and I am really happy with this piece.

Lost Memories.......2001-02-16

I gave my wife a Sureshot 85 for Christmas. The picture quality was fair. The subjects were ghostly white from a flash that was too strong. We took pictures of my daughters first ski lessons. The camera would not work with the lens fully extended. All pictures taken with the lens extended were blurred. The same thing happened at my daughters birthday party the following week. The pictures were blurred or undstinguishable at any setting when the zoom lens was used. I'm loking for a new camera. It won't be a Canon!

Good Camera.......2000-12-31

I really do like this camera. The zoom features are easy to use and the different flash settings are a big help. The only drawback? NO DATE STAMP! I ordered this even though another reviewer had said each time you change the battery you have to reset the date. There is no date function on it.

Otherwise it would be a five!

Great Point and Click Camera.......2000-12-06

Its more than 2 years and countless rolls of films since I bought this camera. And I am very happy with this camera. The photos that I are much better than my older Pentax. I am getting very clear pictures. I have used this camera in at least 5 vacations and the pictures have always come out very well. I am very happy with this camcorder and would recommend it to you.

Excellent Pictures.......2000-08-30

I had a Pentax earlier and it was good. But this is much better. Easy to use and I just developed my first set of photographs and they are awesome. Especially the photograph of a sunset.

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!

Works great........2006-08-11

Easy to install, easy to setup. It only took me about five minutes and part of that was getting the package open. Very good product.

Card is great........2006-08-02

We broke 2 usb bluetooth adapters in normal laptop usage. They just stick out too far. This card is more durable.

The card was up and running practically right out of the box.

This bluetooth card is not recommendable.......2006-07-04

I bought this item from Amazon.com about 4 month ago. Driver is installed easily and works fine. But, speed of data transfer and mouse response is very SLOW!!! Transfer rate is under 1/4 than another USB bluetooth dongle, and I cannot enjoy games with bluetooth mouse because mouse cannot follow my action and is inaccurate. I think this is not recommendable for expert users.

Easy Bluetooth Intro.......2006-01-05

I have thought about Bluetooth accessories for a year or so, but this is my first venture. I installed it on a Dell XPS laptop according to directions, and have had no problems with it. The only device I'm currently running is a mouse, and the setup and operation has been smooth and problem-free. My only gripe is that the card sticks out about 1/2" from the side of my laptop. I think that's an unavoidable problem with any card in the slot, however, and it hasn't been a problem.

I cannot use this device.......2005-12-19

I didn't do enough research on the product before I ordered it. It doesn't support the native Windows XP Blue Tooth drivers provided by Microsoft and the drivers provided by Belkin are not 100% compatible with some of the newer Bluetooth devices available. The only way to get it to work at all is to run the full install from the Belkin CD and it disables the Windows Bluetooth services and replaces them with Belkin services rather than just providing a driver that works with the native windows Bluetooth services. This is most likely because this device has been around since before Microsoft released support for Bluetooth technology. It would be nice if Belkin released an updated driver but they haven't..

Great Product.......2007-02-13

My overall objective of buying this product was to utilize my iPaq 3900 series (which was laying in my draw from last 3 years and doing nothing) by converting it into GPS receiver display. I bought BT-359W GPS receiver (which is also very impressive) and attached that to my iPaq using Bekin product. The connectivity was so smooth. Never drop the signals. It (Belkin F8T006 Bluetooth Wireless CompactFlash CF and PCMCIA type II PDA and PC Adapter Combo Card) worked very efficiently, not only with my GPS receiver, but other BT supported devices as well. The only problem, I had so far, is that my iPaq gets hang if I turned it off and on back again. Could not figure out why is it doing this? The interim solution of this problem is to perform a soft reset in my iPaq and then every thing works great.

Overall this product, really worked great. I am happy that I utilized some thing from my old stock. Now my iPaq is out of my old stock draw and that space is empty for some thing else º
