Olympus IS-50 QD 35mm Film Camera

Pros: Takes some absolutely fabulous photos.

Cons: A few minor details. Nothing major.

The Bottom Line: Unless you want to buy professional equipment and spend a lot of bucks, this camera is just the ticket. Photo quality is wonderful.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: So many different options, wonderful zoom, crystal clear. Fast focusing, beeps in response.

Cons: Won't "fire at will" in bad situations, flash doesn't automatically pop up.

The Bottom Line: This camera has so many options and the best part is a beginner doesn't need to use them. You can literally point, zoom, and shoot with this camera.

Review: 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 ha ...

Pros: Full auto,auto flash,great zoom,

Cons: bit heavy,night mode is a bit confusing,no manual focus

Review: 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 simpl ...

Pros: Weight, grip, balance, size, zoom, ease of use, options, add-ons

Cons: Right handed grip (I'm a lefty)

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Very simple camera to use; Takes wonderful pictures, even in less than ideal lighting situations.

Cons: A bit bulky/heavy compared to compact digitals, however I prefer 35mm to digital any day.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Easy to use, excellent exposure and focus

Cons: Annoying flash function, over priced for what it does, lacking in basic features

The Bottom Line: Yes, it takes great pictures, but why buy this when you can get something better for the same price?

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Beautiful photos in daylight, can purchase for very cheap now

Cons: Irritating and undependable flash

Review: 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 ...
