Canon Z180u
With the Canon Z180u reaching all the way out to an 180mm focal length its imperative that you use a faster film. In this case I chose to use a good roll of Portra 400 which I usually reserve for cameras I deem to be more deserving but seeing as it was my first and possibly only trip to a sub zero Celsius Alberta I thought I would splurge. It was worth it, the Z180u is not that bad all things considered especially compared to the Pentax IQzoom 200 . However I think the Olympus Superzoom 160G has slightly better optics. I’ve used this camera a few times now and while the results have never been stellar they haven’t made me want to recycle it either.
The lens on the Z180u is a 38-180mm f5.6 to f12.9 and that’s all I have to say about that.
The images that I didn’t include in the gallery are a good indication of where this cameras weakness lies. Long zoom and low light.
