Summary: A Must Have for us Technically Challenged shutterbugs
Review: I'm impressed with this camera. I've always wanted to have an SLR to take better quality pictures, but didn't want to spend months learning how all the do-dads and whats-its can influence those all important family pictures. Even my fiancee likes using it, and she's terrified of anything overly technical.
I'm a whiz with other technical gear, but I've always been leary of jumping into the world of photography. The camera is not going to make you professional. But it does make it easier to explore those fun and creative impulses. Once I load the camera with film, I want to use up the roll as soon as possible.
I made this decision for a camera to keep for the long haul. I'm not disappointed.

Summary: Absolutely Fabulous
Review: My quest to find a versatile camera with good quality output resulted in this camera. The pictures are extremely sharp and clear, even at the maximum zoom. The camera offers several automatic modes that come in handy and add to the versatility of composition. I highly recommend this camera to anyone.

Summary: Professional quality, with the ease of point and shoot!
Review: That "inner voice" told me that this was the camera I wanted. I checked it out in the stores. I liked the way it looked, I liked the way it felt. The fact that it was a 35mm SLR, and a good zoom was a must.
I checked prices on this camera EVERYWHERE. You will not find a better deal on this camera than here at Amazon.com!
So the incredible price sealed the deal.
It is so easy to use. It has an automatic feature that does it all for you, right down to the focus. Or all the settings for a professional.
BUT! I got my first pictures back today, and WOW!!!! The color is brilliant, the images sharp! We took pictures at the zoo, and they look like they came out of a magazine!
The only drawback is the size. It's a little heavy and bulky, but preserving my precious children's faces in such a quality photo.... I don't mind! I couldn't reccomend a better camera

Summary: Absolutely fabulous, no regrets.
Review: The customer comments on this page were really helpful in my decision to buy this camera. I own a Canon T70, but I've hardly ever gotten knock out shots from it. Pictures were just so-so, even with a professional Kodak Supra 100 35mm film. By comparison, I took the same shots with the same film with my newly purchased Olympus IS-50. Picture quality were simply stunning with the IS-50, hands down. I couldn't be happier. Almost every shot came out crisp and clear. However, couple of bad ones were due to camera shake due to unsteady hand, not attributable to the camera itself. And for the price I got it for--it was a steal. You could hardly go wrong with its superior flash system. How it calculates the right lighting is one of its best kept secrets, I guess. Two negatives I have though, which aren't that much, considering. It doesn't come with a remote control for self-shooting. You have to buy it separate. And the other is it's made in China! I wish it were made in Japan, but these days, the only ones they still care to manufacturer are higher-end pro cameras. But my confidence in the durability and quality of this camera is based on my belief that Olympus has rigorous quality control towards the manufacture of this camera. Good enough for me.

Summary: Worth Every Penny!
Review: This camera is wonderful. I've shot two weddings for friends and now that I have a one year old running around - I'm taking pictures almost every day. People are impressed when they see me whip this camera out of the bag - but even more impressed when they see the pictures I've taken. Everything is crisp and clear and the colors are brilliant. I wish I could show you some examples to prove the ability of this camera. You don't have to be a pro to take great pictures. I highly recommend investing your money in this camera if you want something durable, something with quality and something that really takes great shots and is easy to use. GO FOR IT!
