 Couldnt be more pleased June 11, 2002

I bought this camera wanting some control and great zoom with, at least moderate picture quality. What turned me on most was the fact that I didnt have to buy and carry around another lens to get "closer" to the object I wanted to capture. I havent owned many SLR cameras but, I have to say this is easily the best camera I have ever owned. I thought for the price, I would just be getting a mediocre camera with marginal picture quality at best, but I was pleasently mistaken. This camera takes great pictures with incredible detail. If you do not know anything about apurature, and how to generally opperate an SLR camera this is the camera you should seriously look into. It is fully automatic. It will sellect the best settings for the light and focus for you with only a push of a button. If your a control freak, dont worry, you have that option as well. You can sellect a manual setting that will give you total control. The zoom is unbelievable, and the camera is well balanced. For the price, you cant beat it! Ive really enjoyed taking pictures with this camera. Enjoy!
Professional quality, with the ease of point and shoot! June 14, 2002

That "inner voice" told me that this was the camera I wanted. I checked it out in the stores. I liked the way it looked, I liked the way it felt. The fact that it was a 35mm SLR, and a good zoom was a must.
I checked prices on this camera EVERYWHERE. You will not find a better deal on this camera than here at Amazon.com!
So the incredible price sealed the deal.
It is so easy to use. It has an automatic feature that does it all for you, right down to the focus. Or all the settings for a professional.
BUT! I got my first pictures back today, and WOW!!!! The color is brilliant, the images sharp! We took pictures at the zoo, and they look like they came out of a magazine!
The only drawback is the size. It's a little heavy and bulky, but preserving my precious children's faces in such a quality photo.... I don't mind! I couldn't reccomend a better camera

My quest to find a versatile camera with good quality output resulted in this camera. The pictures are extremely sharp and clear, even at the maximum zoom. The camera offers several automatic modes that come in handy and add to the versatility of composition. I highly recommend this camera to anyone.

I'm impressed with this camera. I've always wanted to have an SLR to take better quality pictures, but didn't want to spend months learning how all the do-dads and whats-its can influence those all important family pictures. Even my fiancee likes using it, and she's terrified of anything overly technical.
I'm a whiz with other technical gear, but I've always been leary of jumping into the world of photography. The camera is not going to make you professional. But it does make it easier to explore those fun and creative impulses. Once I load the camera with film, I want to use up the roll as soon as possible.
I made this decision for a camera to keep for the long haul. I'm not disappointed.

I recently went on a trip to England, and wanted a camera that was of higher quality. I chose the SLR style because I wanted what I saw in the viewfinder to be what the final product looked like. I chose this camera specifically because it has an integrated zoom lense (up to 120mm) and multiple automatic features. I have found this camera to be excellent in nearly every aspect. PROS:
1.Fantastic image quality. Olympus lenses seem to be of superior quality to some other major brands I've tried.
2. Quick selection of auto features (night, landscape, high speed, etc.)
3. LONG battery life
4. Quick rewind and loading of 35mm. film CONS:
1. Built in lens means no way to change lense (No going to a telephoto or macro lense.) What you see is what you get.
