Only one complaint (maybe 2)..........2007-07-12
I had only one complain (maybe 2) for this. When it rewinds the film, it's VERY loud which I didn't expect and I rewound it in a place that expected quiet and didn't have any way to stop it. The other complaint may be due to the photo developer, not sure, but my "bright" sunny day pictures developed to be very dark appearing to be night time, even interior shots with exceptional lighting appeared the same way - in fact they were so bad, I couldn't see what most of the shot was a photo of! Also, the colors were completely off - I took a photo of something green and it came out pink! Again, that could've been the developer's error. I had a disc made which I'm going to check. I don't know if the developer can mess that up, also, if so I won't know if it's him or the camera. As for the zoom, it wasn't that great but I didn't expect "greatness" at this price, just something quick and cheap to buy for an unexpected vacation (my old camera broke so I needed something fast). Loading was easy - all you do it put the film in, pull out a little lead film and lay it in, you don't have to latch the film onto anything like some cameras (and I used to hate the models that made you bend the lead backwards to hook it in place to load, this one doesn't do that). So, for the price, if the photos don't come out dark with the next developer, then it was worth the purchase.
WONDERFULL TRIP CAMERA........2007-03-15
I was on vacation last February, and I do not want to carry my expensive
Canon Eos, so I get this camera for the trip along with the SP Studio Mi-
di Slave Flash: the result was extraordinary! Specially in backligth situations with the camera fillflash option, and indoor & nigth shoots with the slave unit suport. The results was incredible for a point & shoot
camera. Vicente Cardone, Barranquilla, Colombia.

A great camera.......2005-02-03
I received this camera as a gift about 5 years ago and use it for just about everything: family pictures, vacations, etc. The pictures come out clear, the camera is very easy to use and has nice features, such as zoom and auto-focus that make it a great all-around camera. The camera survived a lot of abuse from travel, etc. but did not survive a fall on a hardwood floor. But after many years of use, I can't complain. I would definitely recommend this camera!
harumph!.......2004-11-12
this is a fine camera, but i have to admit that when i finished taking my photos and got them developed, i was dissapointed to see that they all came back upside down! I am happy with this camera but would like to see a model in the future perhaps that takes photos right side up. It's annoying.
Great basic camera.......2004-04-21
Even though digital cameras are all the rage these days -- and I myself have three of them! -- sometimes you do want to use a film camera, especially when you can't carry an AC adapter with you, or don't want to shell out lots of money for extra batteries, to power your digital camera. Also, ISO/ASA 100 film or slower still gives you the best clarity outside of the negative and professional realms.
This Olympus camera is a great basic film camera -- and it's a terrific value at less than sixty bux. It has the following features that I consider essential on every camera:
-- auto focus. Some very low-end cameras (but this is not a low-end camera!) only have "focus free", which means there's no focus in the lens. Olympus' auto-focus and auto-exposure systems work very well.
-- zoom. Of course, this being a film camera means the zoom is optical. It's only 2x, but if you want more zoom you'll have to pay for it. (The Pentax IQ 145M does provide 4x zoom for under 100 bux, but that camera is also bigger in size.)
-- date imprint. I'm one of those anal types who must document every picture I take. Being able to print the date, while irksome to some people, is a must for me. With a digital camera the photo file has a digital stamp which Windows XP can read (date, time, camera used, size, resolution, image quality, etc.). With a film camera, "quartz date" comes closest to having some extra info on the picture.
-- lens cover. Some cameras don't even come with this!
This camera is also pretty compact and feels right in my hands. The buttons are laid out just right. I find the lens a bit slow in moving in and out but not detrimental to picture-taking in most situations. (I don't shoot sports.) Red-eye reduction works ok but I rarely use it. Flash range is good, but you have to remember that a built-in flash can never do a good job at doing soft lighting.
Picture quality is good with this camera. Assuming you use brandname film like Kodak and Fuji, you'll get pleasing pictures. (If you use a generic brand you got for free at the street corner from a guy in a funny hat, you may be disappointed in the prints... with any camera.) This is really a basic consumer camera, so don't expect lots of fine controls as you can with SLR's.
Some reviewers complain about reliability problems, but from my experience Olympus cameras are some of the most reliable on the market. I haven't had mine long enough to know for sure, but the body seems sturdy and should last a long time.
extraordinary.......2004-02-18
being i am new to this site, i find the product having the extraordinary.
defective.......2004-02-14
It took great pictures but needed to be returned....Both the original and the new replacement cameras were defective. (The button would "stick" and not let you take photos sometimes.)
