While its just a manual camera, that is actually the greatest feature of the Kodak Kroma.
Cameras for amateurs work best when they are manual, without much features easy to use, easy to load, less operating cost (no fancy Ni-Cd batteries needed) etc.
Kodak Kroma gives excellent results, can be operated by kids too. The result I must say is breathtaking, and comparable to some of the best zoom, auto cameras.
Even the in-built flash is quite effective for indoor photography. Features like 100, 200, 400 ASA adjustment helps load special rolls and enables capturing pictures in low light and moving pictures too.
