Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Olympus Accura Viewzoom 90 QD uses a real-image viewfinder, with an in-focus indicator, so you'll always know exactly how your picture is framed. The increased magnification of up to 2x gives you a larger and brighter area to frame and view your subject. An indicator is visible inside the viewfinder allowing you to confirm camera operations such as focus accuracy, flash readiness, and shutter release. For added convenience, both the viewfinder and the indicator are illuminated, letting you see clearly whether it's night or day, while the dioptic correction feature lets you adjust the viewfinder focus to suit your individual eye requirements.

The 38-90mm, 2.4x zoom lens makes getting the shot you want even easier. You can zoom in for close-ups and back out for large group scenes. A versatile, built-in flash lets you select from several preprogrammed modes, including: auto, red-eye reduction, off, fill-in, night scene, and red-eye reducing night scene. This ensures that your picture will always be correctly exposed, no matter the lighting conditions. If the camera senses that your subject is out of focus, the autofocus mark indicator blinks off and on; if your subject is registered as a close-up, the close-up correction mark lights up.

This is certainly a very great camera. About the only I problem i have with it, is that it's kinda bulky, and not easily carried around in a pocket. But when I finally got my pictures back from a trip i took, the picutre quality was incredible. I took my pics on 200 film instead of the recommended 400, and they still came out great. The zooms takes you a lot closer to the action that most other cameras do. And the automatic rewind feature sure is handy. If you're looking for a great camera [without paying a few hundred dollars], you CAN'T go wrong with this item!

I recieved this camera for Christmas, and have had the opportunity to use it in diverse situations. Consistent with my experience with Olympus products, it is easy to use and takes sharp, well exposed pictures. Olympus is known for making sharp lenses, even in lower priced cameras, and this one doesn't dissapoint. It is bigger than many other point and shoot cameras, but I prefer having something a little bigger. There have been some complaints about the date imprinting, I also don't like it, but it can be turned off. Read the instruction manual, it's not hard to do.
The only compliant I have is that the lens is quite slow. With ISO 100 film, the flash comes on in all but the brightest sunlight. ISO 400 film is recommended. However, this problem goes with the territory in point and shoots with zoom lenses, and to fix it would greatly increase the size, weight and cost of the camera.
The exposure system is accurate, the only problem I had was in Death Valley, taking a picture at Badwater, all the white salt fooled the exposure system into underexposing the picture, but it was still well within the exposure latitude of the film.
I haven't replaced the original battery in this camera, which is even more impressive in that I took the battery out of another camera which broke. Point and shoots eat batteries for breakfast, this one seems to do quite well in the battery life department. ...
In short, if you're looking for a zoom lens point and shoot, prefer something on the larger size, ... you can't go wrong with this camera. Good features, great pictures, and Olympus quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very handy camera, February 1, 2003

I purchased this camera because I wanted a small camera to take with me on rainy days or when I did not want to carry around my Pentax P3 or my Nikon FG-20 and various lens. I was skeptical about how well this camera would meet my diserning eye, but I thought for the price, and that it had been refurbished, it was worth a try. My husband and I went to Harper's Ferry for our honeymoon and spent 2 days taking pictures by the two rivers and of the church. Because of the heat, I opted to leave my good cameras behind and just take this little Olympus, knowing this would be a once in a life time opportunity and that camera needed to do well! When we got the prints back, and it really makes a difference where you get your photos developed!, the quality and clarity of the photos were excellent. I really do enjoy having a small camera so I able to relax and enjoy the hike and also trust that my photos will be clear and sharp. I am pleased with the one that I have purchased.
