    May 27, 2008
    Pros: Fool proof automatic SLR 35mm film camera
    Cons: Big, bulky, lousy strap and expensive battery that is not long lived

    Summary: This review is late in coming, but these cameras are still available; and often at a higher price than they retailed for. The reason for that is that they are sort of the ultimate 35mm point and shoot, with excellent automatic focus and a nine element ... read more

    Pros: Picture quality is amazing. Packed with features.

    Cons: The carrying case

    Summary: Having owned some cameras that just didn't deliver I was fed up with ruined pictures from some great moments in my life (concerts, sports matches, travels etc.) and so I decided to buy a camera that delivers! And I was so right to buy this camera! ... read more

    Dec 5, 2000
    Pros: Does everything for you
    Cons: A little too smart

    Summary: After years of using my dads old camera my amateur skills were craving something a little more sophisticated for a change. Not that the old Minolta was a bad camera, but it didn't have the options I wanted. So I began to look for an affordable, yet ... read more

    Aug 11, 2000
    Pros: Excellent picture quality/useful features
    Cons: question of quality/longevity - Bad customer service

    Summary: I bought my first (key word here FIRST) IS-20 Deluxe in May 1999. With the first 10 rolls (or so) through the camera I was very impressed with the quality of the pictures it took, and the features on the camera. I take a lot of pictures and am familiar ... read more

    Jul 13, 2000
    Pros: grip,easy system to work,automatic,Great photos
    Cons: a bit bulky to carry

    Summary: I purchased the IS-20 because of the easy firm grip that conforms to your hand and feels comfortable. The Zoom button was easy to use and manipulate. Autofocus and flash meant I didn't need to recall shutter speeds and distances from subjects. The ... read more

    Jun 8, 2000
    Pros: light weight, low cost, excellent zoom lens
    Cons: Needs a better strap attachment

    Summary: This is a review of the entire Olympus IS 10, 20, 30 series. I first bought the original IS 10 DLX several years ago and recently replaced it with an IS 300 because I dropped the original on its lens when the carrying strap came loose. The design of this ... read more

    Pros: sharp lens, convenience, quality product
    Cons: larger than most point-and-shoot cameras

    Summary: About a year ago I purchased an Olympus IS-200 which is essentially the same camera as the IS-20 DLX. I found this camera to be the best of both worlds- an easy-to-use point-and-shoot 35mm camera that can be manually operated for special ... read more

    Pros: Easy to use, versatile, compact, great quality
    Cons: P&S in an SLR box
