Nikon Lite Touch AF Review
The every day carry point & shoot film camera
This is a fantastic camera and exactly the camera I want to take with me everywhere. I own a few cameras (F6, FM2n, F80s) with awesome lens but I was looking to add a small everyday camera to enhance my iPhone photography. I found this for about 100 bucks on eBay.
Pros
Small and Light Weight
This is the smallest film camera I have seen or ever used. I’d say it even smaller than most disposable 35mm film cameras. Disposable are lighter but this one isn’t much heavier. Plus it has a flash!

Thin profile
The lens is retracted when the camera is off. Nothing pokes out so it easily slides into my pocket.

Fixed 28mm
This is a perfect focal length for just about any situation. Indoor, outside, at a desk or table. In the city or out in nature. Even in a car or an elevator. I always prefer it than my iPhone for photos. Unless it’s an immediately needed photo for reference like a parking space # or whatever.
Cons
Tiny viewfinder 
The viewfinder is so tiny it’s almost unusable. Sometimes I can’t even find it when I pull up the camera to my face. I painted a white outline on the viewfinder and put a red sticker below it to help my eye find it. The view inside the viewfinder is so tiny its almost pointless to compose. I find myself not bothering to use the viewfinder. I mostly point and shoot off the cuff, that could be a pro feature thou.

Mushy trigger button
The tigger is really mushy. I’ve found it best to use 1 of 2 strategies. Option 1) Press the tigger down so hard with my finger I slightly vibrate the camera from the resistance.  Option 2) Which I find works better, but a lot slower is pushing the trigger down til I feel slight resistance and hold… About 1 second later the camera is like OH OK and fires the shot. Slow but it works and no shakes. 'Nikon Mushy Touch AF' might be a better name for this camera.

LCD Screen
Has no illumination so it’s impossible to see at night.
The Nikon Lite Touch AF (also knows as AF600) has a few other cool features such as Panorama Setting, Slow Flash, Pause Film Rewind, Two Shot Self-Timer and more. Check out the manual

Nikon Lite Touch AF is tiny.
Less than two 35mm boxes wide!
This is an awesome camera that I would buy again.
