Here's my new toy that was given to me by a work colleague. It's incredibly small; why did they stop this format that only started in 1996?



It is mainly P&S but it does have a panorama mode (P, H, C). And came with 7 expired films (hopefully, finding somewhere that processes APS film should be easy).

It was late issue digital was in corner already and this little format nice with best lenses only or for family stuff only.Most lab can process it I think and even scan it. Pretty awesome technology I was amazed too, but nice result did come only from Contax TIX. I still have Konica and Canon I did shoot one roll with both, user experience was great scanned result was crap. I paid a lot for develop, scan and result was so-so I did give up. Look forward your experience!

I've still got the one I bought new many years ago, it's well traveled and gave us a lot of great pictures. It really was a great little camera. I shall have to get a battery and some film for it.

How funny, i've just posted new topic asking: which model would you think is collectible of IXUS APS line? Then i found this topic opened already.

My dad owned all-metal one and it was really quality stuff.
