The "funniest" part of it (well, at least, mine, I can't vouch for yours - but
caveat) is the interspacing of the frames on the film is *shorter* than
normal, so beware of the crops on the pictures if you give it to a lab. I
don't know if the machines detect frames or if they rely on a "normal"
spacing. Not a problem for me, because I've got an amateur lab, but consider
warning your shopkeeper it if you're shooting dias.

My aforementionned girlfriend loved it because she has a severe myopia, and
found it easier to focus than a manual slr. So it might well be that I won't
be the heaviest user of the camera ;-)

I'm wishing him all the best, this is a wonderful hobby. I don't know if
you're doing lab work yourself, but I once worked in a high school (pupils
aged 12~16), and was in charge of the photo activity. Childrens loved it to
the point of skipping TV time to join the club - this was a real endeavour.
