Kodak's fixed-lens APS compact — Ektanar 28mm f/3.5, active AF, Sensalite flash, auto exposure 1/4-1/500s.
The Advantix 1600 Auto was a fixed-lens autofocus compact for the Advanced Photo System, sold under Kodak's Advantix APS brand from around 1999. It sat among the simpler single-focal-length models in the range, below the motorised zoom Advantix cameras.
It used a Kodak Ektanar all-glass 28mm f/3.5 lens with active autofocus and focus lock, automatic exposure spanning 1/4 to 1/500 second and apertures from f/3.5 to f/11. The built-in Kodak Sensalite flash offered auto, fill, night-view and off modes, a real-image finder handled framing, and it accepted APS cartridges from ISO 50 to 1600 with date and title imprinting.
The fairly wide 28mm lens and genuine glass optics made it a handy snapshot and travel camera in its day, quicker to like than the fixed-focus models below it. Today it interests APS collectors and anyone shooting down remaining Advantix stock; the slow maximum aperture keeps it a daylight and flash camera.
APS film was discontinued in 2011, so only expired stock remains and processing needs a specialist lab, which is why many examples sell as display or prop pieces. The camera is battery-dependent and will not fire without power, so confirm it wakes, the flash charges, and the cartridge door and film transport cycle correctly.
