Hi Christian,
Having run test films through both my 110 and 110 Super I would
advise you use it outdoors only. Using the AF130P was fairly hit and miss
with red eye and nasty shadows and it was very difficult to focus precisely
indoors. Plus with the flash attached it is not nearly so compact.
Outside though, all the photos were fine, and some closeups of roses looked
almost as good at 4x6 as 35mm usually does. It does make sense as a P&S, but
only if you never want to enlarge your photos.
I did have some problems with the second film, which was a kodak 400. The
bottom third of the film appeared to have some sort of stain or colour shift
on it. I'm not sure whether it was the film or the processing, but it was on
the whole film, not just the individual frames, so it wasn't a camera thing.
It also varied in width and petered out before the end of the film.
