5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, awesome photos, December 20, 2006

My wife and I purchased this camera to take on a vacation. The photos that came back were nothing short of awesome. The exposures were almost always spot-on perfect (except for when the camera was too close to the subject and the flash was on, but you'll get that with any camera.) Crisp photos with excellent shadow details, simple operation, small size, long battery life.... what more can you ask for?

Also recommend the Kodak Ultra Color 400 Professional film to go with it. That's what we used, and it was a great fit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great pictures, awkward handling, July 23, 2007

This review is from: Olympus Stylus 150 QD Date 35mm Camera w/ 37.5-150mm Zoom (Electronics)

Positive stuff first: I can't argue with the picture quality. I have only put one roll of film through it, but the images came out sharp and with good colors both at the widest setting and the longest telephoto setting.

Negatives: I'm not a fan of the ergonomics. The sliding cover on/off switch is okay for switching on but a bit unnerving when switching off because you have to slide it just enough to make the lens to retract, wait for that, then slide it completely closed. The popup flash is annoying because it's right where I try to hold the camera while operating the on/off switch, and it also gets in the way of using both hands on the camera while shooting. The viewfinder isn't especially sharp either, presumably because it's a compromise for both close and long range viewing.

But so far I can't argue with the quality of pictures the camera takes.

Bought this camera for my wife, she still likes to shoot pictures with film.{?} First time out of the box it was easy to load and she took lots of pictures on Thanksgiving with all of the family home and they were excellent. So that must be why she still likes anolog. It's a nice camera and the seller was excellent.
