Product Description

This fully automatic camera utilizes Picture Quality Improvement (PQI) technology to optimize each photograph. An advanced 5 point passive auto focus system with Spot AF helps ensure that your photographs are always sharp.33mm-100mm lens zooms from wide angle to telephoto at the touch of a button! This powerful 3x zoom lens brings far away subjects up close. Choose of 3 print sizes from C - Classic (4 to 6 ratio), H - HDTV (4 to 7 ratio), and P - Panorama (4 to 12 ratio). Real image changeable viewfinder zooms right along with the lens. You also get to see which print size you selected before taking the picture. An extra large bright viewfinder makes framing your pictures easier than ever. The high quality all glass lens brings out the best in all your pictures. Infinity mode lets you get extra sharp pictures whether shooting through glass or water, or just taking a picture of a beautiful captivating landscape. Acclaim Zoom 300 "communicates" exposure information onto the Advanced Photo System film. The film then transmits this information directly to the photo finisher, resulting in optimum results for every photograph. LCD display panel allows to easily read the frame number, flash mode, self-timer, battery status, date, infinity mode, and Spot auto focus mode. This ultra quiet camera enables you to take candid, more natural looking photographs without altering your subjects. Advanced red eye reduction system helps reduce the possibility of having "red eye" in your pictures. The advanced BBS (Bright Bulb System) doesn't startle your subjects before firing. This results in more natural looking photos. Acclaim Zoom 300 has a full complement of back printing capability. In addition to the date, frame number and film cassette number, choose from 9 different titles in 6 languages!

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera   June 2, 2001
13 out of 13 found this review helpful

When I first bought this camera, I thought it was too good to be true. I mean it's very cheap compared to other cameras with the same amount of options, and options it sure does have. There's five different flash modes for you to get the best looking picture possible, 3 different picture sizes, drop in film loading, the ability to imprint messages onto your pictures, and display of date and time the picture was taken on the back so it doesn't ruin it if you want to get enlargements. It's also very small and light, making it very easy to carry around. The quality is excellent, outdoing my old 35mm too. Overall a great camera. [...]


5 out of 5 stars Great Camera, Many Functions   July 2, 2000
This is a spectacular camera. It takes good pictures, has many options, and works great. It's so small and light weight that I take it everywhere with me to make sure I don't miss a shot. The price here on amazon.com is so low too, I reccommend buying it from here if you get it...


4 out of 5 stars Great gift...good options and functions   April 18, 2000
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

I have this camera and love it! I live in the mountains and take a wide variety of pictures and this camera can handle them all. The panoramic and landscape functions are particularly helpful. I also like that the camera has a function that prevents you from taking pictures when the lighting isn't good enough (green light flashes)or the subject isn't in focus(red light flashes). Keeps you from having terrible pictures developed! It is compact and lightweight but still has a realy large zoom lens. Great camera for all occasions...


1 out of 5 stars Camera never worked right, company totally sucky   February 15, 2000
78 out of 81 found this review helpful

My Yashica camera didn't work right from the get-go. My pictures came out blurry and dark no matter what speed film I used or what conditions my subjects were in. So, I sent the camera back to the company for repair. FOUR MONTHS later, they returned it to me with a list of all the things they adjusted. But all the pictures I took were STILL dark and blurry, which means they either did nothing for four months, or they adjusted a few token things but didn't test it out to see if it was working right yet.pEither way, that's pretty cruddy behavior.pSo, I sent the camera back AGAIN (with sample photos). This time, they didn't get back to me, despite the fact I sent TWO letters inquiring about the status of the camera. Finally, I called them and they said they had never received it.pOkay, so, good thing I sent it insured mail, right? But why didn't they answer my letters? Why didn't they repair it the first time around?pSo, my review is: you can't trust the quality of this camera and you certainly can't trust the company to do anything for you if your camera is defective. Buy somewhere else!
