Canon Snappy Q Test

[farlymac]

After the post mortem on my other Snappy Q, a friend of mine sent me another one, in working order. It does work, but like all these P&S cameras that have been around the block a few times, they just don't hold up when not taken care of. I've seen some good results from one of these, even on 100 speed color film. This one doesn't handle brightness very well. It likes the shade. And infinity suffers quite a bit. But it's a strange and cool little camera to carry around, with a built in "Foggy Corner" filter that doubles as a lens cap.

I loaded it up with some Kodak Gold 100, which I've gotten decent results with on other cameras. Then took a saunter around downtown Roanoke, VA one afternoon while the clouds were moving in. I kept having to cancel out the flash button that would pop up all the time, and yet it took good exposures without the flash. Go figure.

I have never seen a "Snappy Q" before Phil, but you got some nice shots from it. That
"Soup's On" is so colorful and sharp ! Nice work

Thanks, Charles, that was the best one of the bunch. The focus range seems to favor anything from 6 to 40 feet away. After that, it's a bit iffy.
