Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Olympus's I Zoom 3000 features a precision crafted 21-85mm lens, which is equivalent to a 26-73mm lens on 35mm camera, as well as a 2.8x power zoom. This lens gives you the ability to capture your shots the way you want them with the simple touch of a button. You can zoom in for an intimate close-up or zoom out to capture the entire group. The I Zoom 3000 also gives you three print options, C (classic), H (HDTV), and P (panorama), so you can truly capture any scene in its entirety. You can switch formats at any time on a roll of film.

The built-in flash includes settings for red-eye reduction, fill-in, flash-off, and night scene, ensuring that your image is always perfectly exposed--whatever the lighting conditions. This easy-to-hold camera sports a metal front cover giving it an attractive look and feel. It is compact and lightweight, measuring in at about the dimensions of a credit card and weighing just under five ounces, making it extremely portable.

To further improve the quality of your images, Olympus uses Print Quality Improvement to record shooting data, including exposure and aperture settings, onto a magnetic strip on your film. When you take your film to your photofinisher, they use the recorded data to make sure your prints look their best. For your own records, the I Zoom 3000 comes with a time/date stamp, so you can record one of the following on the back of your images: no data, year-month-day, month-day-year, day-month-year, and hour-minute; this camera has an automatic calendar through the year 2049. This way you'll never again forget when you shot that roll of film.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time!, October 3, 2002

Geez, if there is a half-star rating here, i could have selected that one, giving this camera 1 star is too much i think... The pictures are all [bad]! no picture came out good at all... everything was blurred and every shot was so bright, everybody was white. No part of the pictures are in clear focus. Would return this camera right away. Olympus disappointed me on this one... I love olympus camera, had three 35mm Olympus cameras and they were all great. that's not the case when I switched to APS camera by Olympus.

I don't know if the Newpic Zoom 90 is better than this one. I called olympus and they said the I Zoom 3000 is better than the Newpic Zoom 90, because it is newer. I can't find any online store now that sells newpic 90 brand new, if there is, it is way too much expensive, but its reviews were cool.

This camera is NOT RECOMMENDED! stay away.

This camera was made for people who can handle a camera and be very steady with it! My pictures came out amazing! There are different kind of shots you can use, long photos and regular 4 x6 ones. However it wasn't suitable because the battery dies out really fast..
