From what I gathered from t'internet, the T70 is much more sophisticated than the T50, which is about as basic as cameras get, it is point and shoot with no manual controls except the ability to shoot at 1/60th second when the lens isn't set to A (automatic). However the T50 seem a nice robust bit of kit, the only obvious weak point is the battery cover which is incredibly flimsy. I've taken a few pictures to try the camera out and it seems to be working well. It's very noisy because of the automatic film advance, it feels like it's going to jump out of your hand after the shutter fires..
