Hi,
I've one (Nano 80) in the collection; it's a pleasant camera to use with a nice lens on it. The usual range of flash settings and an "infinity" position to over-ride the AF.
The only thing that's odd is that the wrist strap is on the left side.
The lens zooms in 6 steps (8 elements in 7 groups) and is labelled "28 - 80 mm" as though it was a 35mm camera. That's not unusual on APS! Wide open at the widest setting the lens is f/4 and the shutter runs from 1/3rd second to 1/400th. They say it has a spot AF system, I'd guess that means centre weighted. Battery is a CR2
Closest focus is 68 cm.
I hope this is some use.
Regards, David

Thank you very much , David !
I can't afford yet a Contax Tix and I think maybe it could be a replacement as small pocket APS cam . Other contender would be the Konica revio Z3 .Don't know wich one produces better IQ pics .

Hi,
I've got and used both. They are both good and so I'd suggest buying whichever turns up on ebay at 99 cent first...

PS Have a look on ebay as there's a firm in Sweden selling off a lot of APS film. It's only a couple of days out of date.
PPS (Edit) the Kodak T550 is one of my favourite non-zoom APS cameras. And dirt cheap.
