Kodak gave its KE60 35mm camera a virtually fail-safe film-loading system. Instead of pulling out the film leader, all you have to do is slide the film tip in and place the cartridge in the camera. The Easy Load feature won't let you take pictures if you haven't loaded the film properly. The film door automatically locks after loading film and can't be reopened until the film is rewound. An indicator changes color to verify the door is locked.
With the KE60's three-zone autofocus system, you can take sharply focused pictures in a variety of situations. Once you have your subject in focus, the focus lock keeps it there while allowing you to readjust your shot. You can get as close as 1.5 feet to your subject, and the autofocus keeps your picture sharp.
The KE60 also lets you switch to portrait mode to further ensure a great close-up. If you're more than 3 feet from the subject, a red light alerts you to the possibility of poor focus. The camera's in-the-picture feature works well with the 10-second self-timer, or when you're photographing a large group. If the red indicator light on the front of the camera is visible, you know you're in the picture.
1 Only Good For a Short Time
I purchased this camera at the end of 2004 because the price was unbeatable. The place was trying to get rid of its 35mm cameras to make room for new digital cameras. At first, I was totally pleased with the quality of the pictures and the easy loading of the film. However, after only 2 uses the camera began to malfunction. When I try to load the film now, it won't accept it and the display on the back of the camera won't stop flashing. I can turn the camera off but once I turn it back on, the display on the back continues to flash, not allowing me to do anything at all. Glad I didn't pay the actual retail price for this camera. I was terribly disappointed because the first set of photos I took came out unbelievably beautiful. I woudn't recommend this camera at all.
2 Beautiful Pics, Easy to Use
I've had my camera for almost two years now and I've been very happy with it! The pictures turn out beautifully, no matter the lighting. It's very easy to use with great features. If you're just looking for a simple film camera with great quality, this is it.
3 Good Camera gone Bad
This camera was fine and it took really good pictures and they came out well. But then the camera's battery went dead and the camera was jammed in the middle of rewinding then I finally got the film out but it all out and every picture I took was ruined. Then when I put a new roll in the camera the film went all the to the end of the so I couldn't use it again.
4 Film winding does not work
I read the reviews of this camera before buying it and I had hoped that the ones about the film winding system not working properly were wrong. However, after taking less than 10 rolls of film with the camera the film got stuck inside and would not wind. I took out that roll and tried other rolls that also got stuck in the camera. I e-mailed Kodak and asked for a refund and they said that they could only send me a replacement. I really don't want a replacement if there is a good possibility that it won't work because of poor design.
5 Unhappy Customer
I bought my camera the latter part of 2002. It is the Kodak Easy Load 35mm camera. I am very unhappy with it. I have not used it a dozen times yet. So,it is still new. I use the same kind of film everytime that I use the camera. The film is stuck in the camera and will not come out. This would not be a problem except the pictures that I have on the roll are the people that I have worked with for 12 yrs and our company is closing. I will NEVER buy another camera from you. I am so disgusted and upset that I have lost valuable pictures.
6 Don't buy it
After 3 rolls of film the automatic lens cap stopped openning automatically. The only way to know it doesn't open is when you get your film back and they are all blank.
Buy something else.
7 You get your moneys worth
I am not a big photographer so I did not want to spend to much on a camera. This on is small so it is easy to carry and it lives up to its name: It is veyr easy to load. I loved having it last year when I had been in Disney Land because when I ran out of film I could pop it in and keep going. Although it does not have a zoom it still takes really good pictures. Another think that I was really impressed about was me and a friend had tried taking pictures of fireworks, she had a $150 zoom camera but mine came out great, crystal clear. If you are looking for a all around camera I would strongly suggest it!
8 It a nice little camera specially for shorter distance photo
This camera look like a digital camera and it has its class built in it. Nice little camera and may be best one for a one who cann't effrod for a zoomable or digital camera and still want to make sure u get the best possible picture.
9 Great if you are like me and hate loading film
After losing numerous pictures because I had loaded the film wrong I decided I would buy one of those advantix cameras to make my life easier. Luckily I found this first. It uses normal film so you don't have to pay all those extra fees for advantix film development. Loading film in this camera is a piece of cake just pop it in and close the door. I haven't lost a picture since and the quality of my pictures is great.
10 2nd KE 60 froze & won't rewind
Camera takes great photos...however..after taking only 1 roll successfully, on TWO seperate cameras...they BOTH froze up and would not let me rewind the film. I do not want a 3rd. Want a replacement. Not good for when taking photo's on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
11 Camera Expert Review
It's been a year now since I've had this camera and from the pictures I've developed they have become pure evidence of how great this camera is. It's simple, cheap and produces great pictures. What more can you ask for?
