Nikon note:

All Nikon Nuvis models with an i-suffix (indicated after each model
number) include a special data recording system. Non-data versions
(without the i-suffix) use an optical system to indicate the picture
print type you have chosen. They offer most of the other Nuvis
features.

APS Notes:

Film 24mm wide vs 35mm for 135 format.
Image area (max) 16.7x30.2mm (H format) vs 24x36mm

C format= 16.7x25.05mm 2:3 ratio (same as 35mm) but 1/2 the negative area
H format= 16.7x30.2mm 9:16 ratio of HDTV full frame
P format= 10.07x30.2mm 1:3 panoramic format (smaller than the panoramic in
the single use cameras (13x36mm)

All pictures are shot full frame (H format) but the default format is C format
so the image is cropped at the lab to C format or 3 1/2"x5" prints with the
other formats H and P being user selected.

Some print sizes available now as:
C format: 3 1/2"x5", 4"x6"
H format: 3 1/2"x6", 4"x7"
P format: 3 1/2"x8 1/2", 3 1/2"x10 1/2", 4"x10", 4"x11 1/2"

It comes with the index print (a thumbnail sheet of all photos).

Rolls are available with 15, 25, and 40 exposures. Each frame on the roll
can be printed in one of three formats: Classic (C), HDTV (H), or Panoramic
(P). The film has a magnetic coating which can store data including the
date and time of exposure, print format, and exposure conditions.

The films are housed in cassettes which permit fast, drop-in loading
and feature a Film Status Indicator (FSI) that tells consumers whether
the roll is Unexposed, Partially Exposed, Fully Exposed or Processed.
This cassette also serves as a film safe to store and protect processed
negatives and makes it easier for consumers to order reprints or enlargements
later on.

The five developpers are: Eastman Kodak Co, Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. of
Japan, Minolta Co. Ltd, Canon Inc. and Nikon Corp.
