Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Olympus iZoom 2000 is an ultracompact Advanced Photo System camera with a built-in zoom. It is elegant, light, and perfect for worry-free shooting indoors and out. This small camera contains a precise 2x all-glass zoom lens to go with a real-image viewfinder. It provides sharp, clear images with an impressive array of flash and exposure modes. The iZoom 2000 has fully automatic focus, exposure, film loading, advancing, and rewinding. It allows for a 24-inch close-up macro and three print formats.

The APS format lets you shoot portrait, wide-angle, and panorama shots on a single roll of film. The IX240 cartridge drops into the camera for loading and is automatically advanced so there is no chance of improper film loading. If you don't want to use the whole roll, this camera offers midroll rewind at the press of the rewind button. It also automatically rewinds at the end of the roll.

The Olympus iZoom 2000 records digital information about the exposure conditions for the best quality photofinishing. It has a wide range of shutter speeds (1/500 to 1.8 seconds) and a focusing range of 2 feet to infinity so your images aren't likely to be fuzzy. The viewfinder includes an autofocus mark, close-up correction marks, and a green lamp, as well as the selection of print type (close-up, wide angle, and panorama). The iZoom 2000 is packed with all of the best APS features in a compact and stylish form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olympus iZoom2000, June 13, 2000

I recently purchased this wonderful mini-camera and have shot 2 rolls of film so far. I wanted a small camera that had big-camera features. It has an easy-to-use telephoto lens and accurate viewfinder. The APS film make it practically fool-proof. You drop in the film, wait for the camera to load, then you're ready to take pictures. It is so light (about 10 oz.) that you can easily wear it around your neck with the included neckstrap and be ready whenever you need it. I still have my 35mm camera but I wanted the ease and spontaneity of a palm-sized camera so I could catch all the precious pictures of my little 1 year old granddaughter. This camera fits that description perfectly. I love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A handy quality camera for grab shots, October 20, 2000

I purchased the Olympus iZoom 2000 to carry with me to catch those fleeting moments when you wish you had a camera. Overall quality is very good. Picture quality is fine, if not up to 35mm standards. One minor complaint is that the camera is normally in flash mode. You have to push a button twice to turn off the flash. Also - for photo enthusiasts - there is no data visible on the camera's settings for a given photo and no manual overrides. All in all, however, a nice package.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could've been A LOT better..., March 25, 2001

The Olympus iZoom 2000 looks great- sleek, small, light and silver. Judging by the price I thought this would be a good camera, and small enough to take anywhere. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that this camera is by no means perfect. Every picture I have taken with this camera came out grainy and low quality, much worse than my cheaper Minolta Freedom camera I had before. Also, the viewfinder is tiny when you look through it so you can hardly see what you're taking a picture of... I asked a few other people about this, so it's not just me. It's also confusing to control the flash, etc. This camera is NOT WORTH IT, go for a higher quality Olympus or a Canon Elph if you want a compact camera that takes quality pictures. Dont waste your money on this one!
