The PC35-AF is beautifully designed camera with an excellent 35mm f2.8 lens (5 elements in 5 groups). It's tied with the original Nikon One Touch and Action Touch as our all-time favorite point-and-shoot. The combination of a smooth manual advance and manual rewind with a sophisticated electronic shutter allowed the camera to be more compact than most of its rivals and have very good battery life (despite using AAAs). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReally the only gripe we could imagine anyone having with this camera is that it makes a warning beep when the light is low (to warn that you ought to use flash); that's a good feature for most people (prevents blurry shots) but some advanced shooters might find it annoying. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera requires two AAA batteries for power (not included). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe film tested this camera and all the photos were correctly exposed and focused.
