Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus iS-50 QD Date 35mm Camera

Customer Review: Absolutely fabulous, no regrets.
Summary: 5 Stars

The customer comments on this page were really helpful in my decision to buy this camera. I own a Canon T70, but I've hardly ever gotten knock out shots from it. Pictures were just so-so, even with a professional Kodak Supra 100 35mm film. By comparison, I took the same shots with the same film with my newly purchased Olympus IS-50. Picture quality were simply stunning with the IS-50, hands down. I couldn't be happier. Almost every shot came out crisp and clear. However, couple of bad ones were due to camera shake due to unsteady hand, not attributable to the camera itself. And for the price I got it for--it was a steal. You could hardly go wrong with its superior flash system. How it calculates the right lighting is one of its best kept secrets, I guess.

Two negatives I have though, which aren't that much, considering. It doesn't come with a remote control for self-shooting. You have to buy it separate. And the other is it's made in China! I wish it were made in Japan, but these days, the only ones they still care to manufacturer are higher-end pro cameras. But my confidence in the durability and quality of this camera is based on my belief that Olympus has rigorous quality control towards the manufacture of this camera. Good enough for me.
