Summary: Perfect Camera for a Photographer!
Comment: 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..
Summary: Waste of Time!
Comment: 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.
Editorial reviews:
Sophisticated yet simple is the theme of the new i Zoom 3000. Featuring a precision-crafted 21-58mm Olympus lens boasting wide-ranging 2.8x zoom power, i Zoom 3000 gives users the freedom to capture the photos they want with the simple touch of a button. The wide-angle zoom is especially useful when trying to photograph scenes in limited-space areas such as indoors.i Zoom 3000 also continues the "worry-free" tradition of the i series family and includes a powerful built-in flash to provide the necessary environment for a variety of situations. Further benefits of this newly-designed camera, sporting a metal front cover to provide a more attractive look and feel, include an electronic self-timer as well as the standard features accompanying the Advanced Photo System format such as drop-in film loading and multiple print formats. i Zoom 3000 is compact (measuring the size of a credit card) and lightweight for easy portability. It features fully automatic operation (autofocus, auto exposure, auto film loading, advancing and rewinding), Print Quality Improvement technology, and date/time imprinting on front/back of photos.This kit includes i Zoom 3000 camera, case, and battery.
