Get beautiful group shots and sharp close-ups, with a high-performance 24-48mm autofocus zoom lens. Archive your special occasions with a date and time stamp on the back of your photo. Kodak Advantix C650 lets you do it automatically. Your pictures improve with processing because of advanced technology that gives your processor vital statistics about each shot.Advantix C650 zoom camera features triple format selection. In each format you can take three different size pictures - Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) - from the same film cassette. The viewfinder frame changes to match each format selection. You can choose to have date and time information printed on the back of your prints. You don't need to worry about accidentally re-exposing your film. Your camera reads the film status indicator (FSI) on the film cassette to prevent re-exposure.

The safety interlock on the film door prevents the door from opening before the film is completely rewound.

Waste of Money2005-04-13
My mom bought her C650 years ago, and I have to say I hated it from the beginning. It has a funny way of taking pictures - you can't just click the button - it has a delay and won't take pictures if the light is even a bit dim. The battery life has always been bad no matter what brand we used, so it must drain a lot. And it jammed with a filled roll once so this camera is really worthless. If I could, I'd give it negative stars. Save your money and buy another camera.
good camera2003-04-29
I got one of these cameras as a present for my high school graduation, just in time for my senior trip to New York City. It was a great camera that took wonderful pictures; I loved the low-light flash option (when I remembered to use it). Mine was stolen just over a year ago and I've been looking for another but haven't been able to find one until now.
SHORT LIFE...2002-12-01
I HAVE HAD THIS CAMERA SINCE CHRISTMAS 2001, AND IT WAS WONDERFUL
FOR THE TIME HAD IT, VERY CLEAR PICTURES, GREAT BATTERY LIFE. REALLY GREAT, BUT NOW IT IS NO LONGER UP TO PAR. BUT AT 80 DOLLARS I GUESS NOT MUCH MORE TO EXPECT.
Poor quality2002-11-25
The first Kodak Advantix C650 camera I bought did not work out of the box, so Amazon replaced it. The second one I received produced lovely pictures (for about 2 months), but it stopped working in the middle of my Disneyland trip, forcing me to buy one-time-use cameras while there. I have sent the camera in for repair twice and it took 1-2 pictures before ceasing to function again. I lost the cost of the camera, two batteries, the cost of several one-time-use cameras, and the cost of shipping it twice. (I may try sending it one more time in sheer determination to get something for the money I've invested in it.) Although the pictures I took while the camera worked were of fairly high quality and I love the APS film options, this camera itself is of poor quality and it's a good thing it's been discontinued. I'm not likely to buy a Kodak camera again. Buyer beware.
More experience with my C6502002-06-03
I wrote a review for this camera shortly after I bought it, rating it 4 Stars. Now that I have used the camera for a year or two, I changed my rating to 5 Stars. I am no photo expert or camera buff; I am just a taker of snapshots, but I really like the C650. It is small, easy to load, easy to use,inexpensive to purchase, and I really like the APS format. The negatives are stored in the film cassett, and they can be stored in a book-like holder so that I can easily find the negatives when I want them, and I really like the wide-screen format of the pictures. It proably costs twice as much to use the APS film vs. 35 mm, but I think it's well worth the extra money (how much does one really spend on film & developing anyway?), and though I have a 35mm camera that I bought around the same time as the Kodak, I now use the Kodak exclusively.

This is the only APS camera that I have ever used, and there are probably some that I would like better, but so far I am well pleased. I just hope that the APS format doesn't go the way of the disc camera.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer.
