Summary: Great Camera!
Comment: I've had this camera for 1 year and very pleased with the pictures it takes. Two vacations, a brand new baby girl and the expensive 35mm camera is collecting dust. Side by side with the elph, 35mm Olympus and 35mm Cannon this camera's pictures compare. It's so small and light you have to take it with you. Much lighter than the elph and easy to use. Two negatives, the buttons are small and the zoom is noisy.
Summary: Could've been A LOT better...
Comment: 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!
Summary: Great Looking, Less Filling :-(
Comment: I luv the looks & compactness. But the pixs were grainy and very dissapointing.
I shot pixs on a clear & bright day on the beach and it looked like it was unfocused.
OVerall build quality is good. Easy instruction and ease of APS. But I expected more picture quality. It makes me long for 35mm.
The 2 stars are for looks only!
Summary: Dissapointing all around!!
Comment: I have bought this camera for Christmas as a present and to my surprise it did not work when we opened the Christmas presents. I returned it and bought another one just like it. This second one was a dissapointment as well; the zoom lens would never work and it would constantly shut off by itself. I would not recommend anybody to buy this camera. IT'S AWFUL!!
Summary: A handy quality camera for grab shots
Comment: 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.
Editorial reviews:
i Zoom 2000 is one of the latest additions to Olympus' growing family of "worry-free" Advanced Photo System cameras. And although it is extremely elegant in its look, remarkably compact in its size, and incredibly light in its weight, i Zoom 2000 packs quite a punch when it comes to its features. i Zoom 2000's diminutive body contains a precise 2x all glass zoom lens to go with a real-image viewfinder in providing sharp, clear images while its automatic operation and impressive array of flash modes allows you to enjoy your picture-taking experience without worry. Plus it boasts all the conveniences of APS such as drop-in loading and three various print formats. This take-anywhere, user-friendly camera is the perfect companion for all your indoor and outdoor activities.i Zoom 2000 features fully automatic operation - autofocus, auto exposure, auto film loading, advancing and rewinding, and drop-in film loading. It has 24-inch (0,6m) close-up macro capability and red-eye reducing flash mode with pre-flash illumination. i Zoom 2000 provides standard to APS choice of three print formats (C - classic, H - HDTV, and P - panorama), IX (information exchange) data recording, and date/time imprinting on front/back of prints.
