THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY GREAT LITTLE CAMERA 2001-04-20
When I first bought my Olympus iZoom 75 I thought it was a great little camera. It's light, sleek, weather resistant, aesthetically appealing, plastic but apparently well made, has quick flash recycling, and has a faster than average lens for this camera type (f4.7). Unfortunately I soon became disenchanted for the following reasons: 1) Slow opening and setting-up time 2) Quasi-manual open and close 3) Slow zoom action 4) Non-ergonomic function buttons (except "shoot" and zoom buttons) 5) Worst of all; that trademark "strobing" flash, which makes true candid shots almost impossible, draws unwelcome attention and slows down functioning. I ended up giving this camera to a friend.(Who likes it) Considering the many fine features of this camera, and Olympus' impressive track record over the years, it's especially disappointing that they didn't think this one through a bit more carefully. This could have been a really great little camera.
Compact quality 2000-10-25
I've owned Canon Elph 370 and Nikon Nuvis S equalivants and they can't quite compare with the sharp and clear photos this one produces, even with difficult backlight and low light conditions. The very compact size, feather weight and weather resistance make it a backpacker's dream come true.
A great little camera! 2000-09-08
We bought this camera in June and have taken several rolls of fim since-trying it out for a trip to Ireland in a few days....so far, I like it a lot. I do wish the instruction booklet wasn't printed in every language known to man....it makes it hard to find what you're looking for fast. I came to this site today to find what kind of battery to buy-I swear I couldn't locate that info in the booklet! (Could just be me, tho'!) At any rate, I would recommend this camera-it's so light-just perfect for travel.
One Huge Drawback 2000-08-15
One of the best and smallest APS cameras out there. But there is one drawback which you should be aware of before purchasing. Unlike some other APS cameras, this one does NOT offer mid-roll film change. This feature allows you to switch from 200 to 400 film in the middle of a roll depending on whether you are indoors or outdoors. It is a wonderful feature which I wish this camera had.
Great Small APS Camera 2000-06-24
Just got the camera and love it. APS is among few of the overall advantages. It fits right into your smallest pocket and is extremely light weight. The zoom is just about as good as it gets for a camera of its size and the photos are beutiful. Buy this Camera!
Fantastic pictures! 2000-05-11
The camera takes clear, crisp pictures in every mode and lighting condition, is very lightweight and easy to carry along on trips. The only downsides--the button to switch flash modes is tiny and sometimes tricky to use, and the pop-up flash stuck inside the case a few months after we bought it (though it was promptly fixed by Olympus). I'd recommend it to anyone!
The I Zoom 75 is an impressive, above average APS 2000-01-06
I found the camera to be extremely easy to operate, the compact size will be excellent for a purse or coat pocket. The instructions should be carefully read; it's a small, 156-page booklet in 5 languages. The Troubleshooting section (p. 124) has back references to the instructions. The purpose of buying this model was to have a simple, point-and-shoot camera for my wife to use, but have a few fun features for myself. Both of us are very pleased with the choice.
Easy Fantastic Pictures 1999-12-05
I bought this recently and used it on a trip to Nepal. The zoom allowed me to focus in on the animals well, while still letting me take in the full breadth of the Himalayas. The flexibility of the lighting options (red eye, night flash, red eye and night, etc.) allowed me to take pictures in many variations of light. The 3 different view options allowed me to frame the picture in the way that best suited the variety of my subjects. The film is easy to come by even in Nepal and simple to load. The colors were amazing. It's a great camera to take with you, simple to operate, and still allows you to get quality pictures.
A sleek and handy little camera that isn't shy about water 1999-10-25
If you need a very compact, easy camera to operate and load, this guy fills the bill. I found it easy to slip into my pocket, almost forgetting it was there! It has a great zoom, long and SHARP. Since I spend lots of time outdoors, and sail, splashing water rolls right off. Waves which left me drenched - I just washed the camera in the sink. NO PROBLEM. If I need big prints, larger than the normal snap shots, I find 35mm is better than ANY APS, but the film is easy to load. The super compact size paired with easy to use ergonomics makes me think these people know how to make real cameras. The crisp color and sharp detail makes the pictures ones you are proud to show. If you want great pictures in a small package, they don't come any better than this. Now if I can get it back from my daughter...
