The Olympus I Zoom 75's sleek, lightweight form, zoom lens, and splashproof construction make it an ideal camera for travelers who want the advantages of the Advanced Photo System in a quality package. The compact 75 is protected in a splashproof metallic-looking cover, and sports a slimmer version of the Olympus signature sliding-clamshell case, allowing this model to fit easily in to a pocket. The only disadvantage to this camera's compactness is that the self-timer and flash buttons are a little hard to press since they're so small. The Olympus I Zoom 75's multi-autofocus system helps produce the best photos possible--we found the camera did a good job of focusing even when our subject wasn't dead center. The flash gave us a choice of auto, red-eye reduction, fill-flash, night scene, and off modes. The night-scene mode allows you to sync the flash with a slow shutter speed so that you can take portraits with a night scene in the background. The zoom lens--a bonus on such a compact camera--has a 28 to 75mm equivalent range, good for everything from wide-angle landscapes, to portraits and medium close-ups.
The Olympus I Zoom 75 is extremely easy to use, especially since it uses the Advanced Photo System (APS) format. APS film is a snap to load; no messing with film leaders, or alignment of cartridges, as the film just drops in and loads automatically. The APS format lets you take regular, wide-screen, and panoramic photos on the same roll, and your processed prints will include an index print, with thumbnails of every shot, for easy reprinting.
Pros:
- Ultra compact form
- Zoom lens
- APS format
- Wide range of flash modes
Cons:
- Certain buttons are too small
