I was bought this camera for my A levels, and initially i didn't like it. It seemed blocky and heavy, but that was compared to a DSLR. It didn't take me long to get to grips with the camera, and... more

    5 Stars Olympus OM-10 Quality and performance way beyond it's price tag 14/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Olympus quality assured, truly comprehensive and versatile system

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rewind button is fiddly. Manual adaptor is essential not optional for full control

    A light and easy to use camera way more capable than the price tag suggests. The camera as standard is an Aperture Priority automatic exposure, 35mm Single lens reflex. In Aperture Priority mode the user selects the aperture and the camera selects the shutter speed. Exposure compensation is still possible by moving the film speed dial up or down to increase or decrease the overall exposure depending on the lighting conditions. A so called Manual Adapter add on is really a must to give the user full control of their photography. The Manual adaptor is a clip on optional extra accessory which ... more

    5 Stars Pssst ... Want To See My Lovely Photos 14/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's easy to take good photos straight away and is very reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I find it tricky to put the film in the camera

    On the wall, just inside my front door, there is a large framed photograph taken in Yosemite Park, California. I think it's a bit special and I'm always delighted to say, "That's one of mine", when anyone remarks about how nice the picture looks. I love taking photos, but not for me the up to date digital way. I have an old Olympus OM10 camera. I've had the camera for about five or six years and it was given to me by my father who'd used it, previously to this, for probably another five years. So my OM10 is cracking on a bit age wise now, but I love the camera and it travels everywhere with me ... more

    5 Stars Perfect camera for photography students! 03/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very Versatile, Build and Image Quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ummmm ...............

    Around 7 years ago I wanted to replace my ageing point-and-shoot compact camera with something that would offer me more potential for taking better photos. After talking to a friend who was a keen amateur photographer, and a local camera shop owner I decided to purchase a secondhand OM-10. I'd previously looked at new SLRs in Jessops but wasn't impressed with the 'feel' of them, being mostly plastic they were lightweight and didn't seem sturdy enough. The camera came complete with a standard 50mm lens and a flash unit so I tried taking a few photos, and have to admit I was pleasantly surprised ... more

    5 Stars Excellent manual camera 09/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lightweight, solid and reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages out of production - parts hard to find

    Looking to buy an excellent manual camera that is cheap and reliable? I bought an Olympus OM-10 for night time astrophotography because of the cheap cost of the camera as well as its BULB settings and because my other camera was using too many batteries for night time pictures. If you are an experienced 35mm photographer or you have a good idea of what settings you like on scenes, then this camera may be for you. You can pick one up on the net easily for around $150.00 - $180.00 USD for the body and about $40.00 per lens. All around this is an excellent price even if you want to learn about ... more

    5 Stars OM10, the only film camera i'll use. Review with images 06/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Variety of lenses, quality of photos

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need of an adaptor to make manual.

    I was bought this camera for my A levels, and initially i didn't like it. It seemed blocky and heavy, but that was compared to a DSLR. It didn't take me long to get to grips with the camera, and the quality of my initial shots I felt was great, and I carried on using the camera. It can be difficult to rewind the film if you don't realise how to do it, but having read the manual, or having it to hand would combat this. If the guide isn't with the camera, it is easy to find on the internet, it was the first link I found. The camera is aperture controlled only, unless you have the adaptor. In my ... more
