Olympus IS-20 DLX QD 35mm Film Camera

Pros: Auto features, Photo clarity, size, weight, ease of use, and Bright flash
Cons: NONE!!!

Before I found this Camera, I was using an old Minolta Manual. Dont get me wrong, i lovethe feel of control, but when i joined the newspaper and yearbook committe @ my current highschool, i needed something with a little more promise of better pictures.
I was searching ebay for cameras and i found the Olympus IS-20 DLX. I fell in love with just the concepts of having the stop action for sports and well and the portrait setting for the yearbook. i had to have it.
upon it arriving in the mail i opened it and found it was a littler heavier than expecteed but a beauty none the less.
I have been using it for 2months now and i will never go back to the Minolta again!

For me, this is a perfect camera for just having fun. I have too much equipment to be constantly trying to find the right combination. With this camera I can capture some fine images and enjoy myself as a bonus. Growing older, I find myself trying to unload the weight of too much equipment. This would a fine starter camera for anyone. It takes crisp clear images, is easy to use and still offers a learning experience, and is priced right. I told several friends and they bought the camera for wives, other friends or themselves. There are things that could be added to the IS20 but that might defeat the ease of use. Certainly no camera is perfect, but this one is great for which it's designed.

Overall, an excellent camera... I have used it for more than a year, and am still using it with as much enthusiasm as the first day i had it!! it allows a variety of options that are just perfect for the more-than-casual-but-not-professional photgrapher.....and takes very good pictures at night.... good investment!

I personally think this is a great camera. I have owned this camera for about one year and haven't had any problems and I am still taking tons of great pictures.
