- Only lasted 15 months...
This camera takes quality pictures, but we did not find it to be very well constructed.The diopter (view finder adjustment) stopped working in the first 90 days, and the film advance mechanism failed about one year later.We take a lot of pictures, but do not treat the camera roughly.Even with the instructions, we were not able to make the "date-stamp" work correctly.My wife also had occassional trouble loading the film.The optics seem to be good, but overall we were un-impressed.We were ...

- Good starter camera
I've had this for almost 2 years now. Picture quality varies with the auto focus function, however overall they come out good. It is definitely heavy and there other much lighter SLR's around. I've seen certain 35mm compact cameras that can compete with this camera in terms of picture quality. If you are lloking to buy a "true" SLR camera then you should probably choose something else. If you want a easy to use, good SLR type camera then this is a great buy.

- I love this camera
The world has gone digital and yet Olympus produced one of the best 35mm cameras out there just as film cameras were becoming obsolete. It'sa shame because this camera kicks [...], because it's simple to use, produces amazing shots and has a great zoom/lens, autofocus, battery life (beats any digital camera) and it feels great in my hand. I've taken many shots with it, including B&W shots, which are even greater than color shots. I've also taken tons of night shots, including auroras, which I never ... Read More

- Great for point & shoot, but still lacking
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 versatility of being able to change the lens.
I've owned or given as gifts a number of Olympus cameras - the OM10, the IS-2, the IS-10 and now the IS-50.To this day the IS-2 remains one of my favorite cameras, especially with its unbelievable macro ... Read More
Rating: - The Best Camera Ever
I have never owned a camera before this one but I have taken a lot of pictures with other cameras so I know a good camera.I did a lot research when I decided to finally buy my own camera. I chose this one based on it's not complex features.I wanted something that would take up a lot of my time to learn as I am a college student and need that time to study school work not how to work a camera.I got the camera about two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with the results, these are some of the best pictures ...
