Pros Takes some absolutely fabulous photos.
Cons A few minor details. Nothing major.
Recommended it? Yes

The yearbook kids were getting much nicer photos than my newspaper kids. There is a little competition there, but the two departments work together. It's a small school, and it really helps to share the load and to pass on tips.

I asked one of the yearbook photographers how they got such... Read full review »

Takes great photos, but it's not worth the price

Pros Easy to use, excellent exposure and focus
Cons Annoying flash function, over priced for what it does, lacking in basic features
Recommended it? No

The Olympus IS series cameras have always had an identity crisis. At first they were called "ZLRs" or "Zoom Lens Reflex." They have the internal making of an SLR (a mirror mechanism that shows you exactly what the lens is seeing), but lack the versatility of being able to change the lens.

Pros So many different options, wonderful zoom, crystal clear. Fast focusing, beeps in...
Cons Won't "fire at will" in bad situations, flash doesn't automatically...
Recommended it? Yes

For photography, even advanced, this camera is for you. I only bought it because a friend told me they found one on clearance and I happened to need a camera at the time since my other one broke. I almost fainted when I saw this one and the price. I have an old Canon AE-1 and this new Olympus is... Read full review »

Great photos in daylight, but horrible flash

Pros Beautiful photos in daylight, can purchase for very cheap now
Cons Irritating and undependable flash
Recommended it? No

This point and shoot camera takes beautiful photos in daylight, and I love the feel of it ergonomically speaking. However, the flash is very irritating because it will work fine for a few photos, and then it starts making a sizzling sound while it's trying to flash, and the flash becomes annoyingly...

Pros Weight, grip, balance, size, zoom, ease of use, options, add-ons
Cons Right handed grip (I'm a lefty)
Recommended it? Yes

This camera was one purchased for me as a gift at Christmas and I love this camera. This camera not only has the feel I love but the weight is just right. The resulting photos on one roll of film alone is wonderful compared to some of my other photos from other camera's results which were great but... Read full review »

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Full auto,auto flash,great zoom,
Cons bit heavy,night mode is a bit confusing,no manual focus
Recommended it? Yes

I was getting into the world of SLRs but was unnerved by all the terms and the cameras themselves. So I did a lot of research on most of the brands and found that this model fit me perfectly. It has all the features if an SLR camera but is almost as simple as the P&S ones. It has a great feel and... Read full review »

1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Very simple camera to use; Takes wonderful pictures, even in less than ideal lighting...
Cons A bit bulky/heavy compared to compact digitals, however I prefer 35mm to digital any day.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this camera after reading reviews on this website, amazon, photography review and half.com. It has turned out to be a great camera. The first time I used it I was shooting pictures at a wedding dance, minimal lighting, of course, and the pictures turned out great! That was without... Read full review »
