I'll agree that they are not the greatest machines. I am on my fourth. The first took pictures but stopped advancing the film. The service rep was good and tried all different things over the phone and eventually said send it back and we'll pay for a new one. I just exchanged it at Cabellas.

I should have purchased a different brand with the money - but nooo. The second one never took a single picture on three rolls of film so back that went, to the manufacturer this time and they sent me a new on in less than a week.

The third would not rewind. After I ruined two rolls of film, I ripped out the film, I am sure that did it no good. It made a lot of grinding noises. Back to Cabellas.

The fourth has worked so far. I think I am on the fifth or sixth roll. Although last night, the roll had one picture of a doe, several of me building my blind, and a lot of grass and corn. One more chance and I'll return it to Cabellas and buy two dozen arrows.
