Advantages: Brilliant quality
Disadvantages: Bit fidly at times

The Olympus 3000 combines many great features into an easy to hold package at a reasonable cost. But this camera excels at the most critical aspect of any camera -- the very purpose you buy a camera -- to get great pictures. I have personally recommended this camera to several people and everyone has loved it. If that doesn't convince you, let me tell you that I am very willing to shoot this camera against any other camera in a variety of extreme ...
...survey that showed that the Olympus 3000 was already in the top ten of consumer digital cameras being sold. Here are the specific features that make this camera so appealing to me: Quality pictures 400 ISO (makes nighttime photography possible) Fully manual mode with metering Automatic mode that can easily be adjusted darker or brighter The most important feature of any camera is picture quality. If a camera doesn't take great pictures, it doesn't ...

Review of Olympus I ZOOM 3000

Awesome camera, but note limitations before you buy

Advantages: Easy to use, spot focus feature helpful, fits in pocket
Disadvantages: A little loud and flash options hard to use

...might want to consider the Olympus Epic which has a small footprint than the Stylus. It's only about 9 ounces The spot focus feature makes this a lot better than standard point and shoot cameras. The camera will normally focus on the object in the middle of the viewfinder. However, there are many times when you want to focus on an object to the side. With the Stylus, you simply point to the object you want to focus on, press the shutter button half-way ...
...however you want and press the shutter button all way to complete taking the photo. I expected a relatively powerful zoom lens but an added bonus was the "macro" feature. This allows me to take close-ups of my kids from as close as 2-3 feet away. I no longer have to back-up to take a shot, just press the zoom button in the reverse direction. Nice unexpected bonus. Because I'm so used to my trusty Nikon Semi-Automatic, I've had to adjust to a P&S ...

Review of Olympus i100AF Compact Camera

Great APS camera but

Advantages: small; full of features; trusted brand
Disadvantages: uses too many batteries

...previous compact was a 35mm Olympus zoom as well - it was about 5 times the size of this one and a whole heap heavier. I'm pretty pleased with this camera overall. It's so small that I take it with me more frequently - the photo quality is also good - as good as APS can get anyway. If you're thinking of getting an APS or already have one but are disappointed with the picture quality here are a few hints: Take photos in HDTV format - this is how ...
...resolution. Use Fuji Colour film instead of Kodak - I have regularly found that Kodak APS films are grainy when developed. Beware of the flash! My anti-red eye flash flickers for so long that everyone has moved by the time you take the photo. Oh - I almost forgot -take spare batteries with you when you go away - they run out more quickly than on 35mm compacts and are quite pricey. They'll be used up more quickly if you play with the zoom alot ...

(Price was 3 years ago and now you can pick the camera up for around the £40 mark) The Camera Now you may think that’s pretty pricey for a camera and you are correct, but this beauty comes with a black carry case and 3 free films (well it did when I got it) which gave me a head start for all the photography that I was going to ...
