Not in the least!!! They were expensive to have developed and you didn't know what you'd get. Three trips come to mind: San Francisco trip, Hawaii trip and Vancouver Island trip including the Buchart Gardens....ALL three had the camera act up and I have NO pictures for those trips. It was an expensive camera....we had no idea it wasn't taking the pictures because it advanced the film. Expense be da**ed, I threw the camera away after spending $70.00 on development for the last trip. Digital cameras have opened up a whole new world for me!!!!
