I have tried a POP before and had seen the different coloured ones on various sites and thought if I saw one I would try and get it..so here is the red version.
Konica has released many different point and shoot cameras and I have been impressed by all the ones I have tried. This version was released in 1988 and came in three colours. There is nothing to explain that isn’t said on the front of the camera.
- Focus Free
- Auto Flash
That’s it. This site has all the technical information you might need.
I am always nervous when I don’t have any control of the flash. I prefer to keep the flash turned off at all times and use natural light. I do not really enjoy street photography and a flash seems extra intrusive.
Anyway, I took this one to Leeds, West Yorkshire on a dreary day, but that certainly was not how I was feeling. Here are the test shots.
I think the camera performed well in difficult circumstances, but it is much more suited to a brighter day.
Keep or sell: I think I will sell or give away. I doubt I will use it again and I am running out of space 🙂
Some of the shots look underexposed. I wonder if it has fixed aperture/shutter speed.

Yes I think it does and my film was slow too.

On a better day looks like it would produce nice results.
