A Fine Piece of Technology
Date of Review: Aug 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Sleek technology for excellent photo taking.
Canon Autoboy LUNA 105 S
It is an exceptionally high cost performance, effectively balancing the benefits of high functionality, refined design and outstanding operability which only took $100 out of my wallet.
It has a high-performance 38-105mm zoom lens which delivers sharp imaging performance throughout the entire zoom range. It is extremely simple to use, easy to locate the main body subject and shoot a straight shoot, never cut out part of the picture again.
The body of the new Canon compact camera features a stylish white-gold and neutral-titanium two-tone front-face design and a thin metallic ring around the lens unit provides a refined accent.
Personal Touch
I adore the sleek case and durability. It feels like I have a camera in my hands and not some flimsy cheap plastic camera. Its additional features are extremely useful taking picture taking to a whole new height.
I find the flash a bit strange, the way it slides out on the side, however does not impede anything and helps reduce red eye. I find no faults in the camera to give negative feedback, it is, for $100, a bargain which I reccommend to all.
