5 comments about Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD Date 35mm Camera.

1. I had an Olympus Accura for seven years and loved it so when it crashed I wanted another Olympus. I've only had this one for a few weeks, am still getting used to it. It's different than the other Olympus in that it doesn't take AA batteries and you have to hold it differently because of the flash and because it slides open whereas the other one opened when you pushed the button on top. That's the only problem I've had so far -- a couple of times I inadvertently shut it off by holding it wrong. I was pleased with the first roll of film I took with this camera -- only one blurred shot, and a nice close-up of a rose. Sometimes to get a close photo you need to use the zoom instead of just getting close. It always takes me awhile to get used to new stuff, but I think once I learn to use this camera I'll like it as much as the other. The zoom is cool and easy to use. Everyone says go digital, but with digital you lose the element of surprise and imperfection and that's what makes photography interesting. Plus all the girls see their picture and say, Ooh, I don't look good in that one, delete it! With this camera you can't delete so you don't end up tossing pictures that someone will like when they're old and gray and didn't recognize how good they looked at 23. I give this four stars -- I can't give it five stars because I haven't mastered it yet.



2. I ordered this camera used a year ago through Amazon to try it out. However, the used camera always gave me trouble. The zoom would not work with the autofocus or the flash and when putting in a new roll of film it often went right to rewind and I lost a roll of film. But I did like the quality of pictures the camera produced and the ease of operation. I have been very pleased with this new camera. Everything works and I got my first roll of developed pictures back and was very pleased with the quality.



3. very easy to use. size is just right to carry in pockets, etc. pictures are sharp and clear. would buy this camera again.



4. In case someone is still looking for a non-digital camera, this is the one to get! The zoom is great (170), the photos turn out with crisp colors, and it's easy to use with very simple buttons. There are basically 6 "buttons" for choices. One button controls flash (none, flash only, red eye), another controls the zoom distace, two buttons control the date stamp (none and other varieties), one controls the self timer, and the last one takes the photos! That's it! It loads film automatically with an LED screen that tells you if you are successful or not. LED screen tells you the date/time, number of photos taken, and flash choices, if any, that you make.
   
   The only drawback is the weight, especially compared to the small digital cameras out there, but it needs to be heavier to support the zoom lens that comes out. I've had this camera for over 10 years and never had a problem.



5. This camera is the second one I've owned. I looked until I found it on Amazon. I was delighted with the first camera and am thrilled with this one.

1. I recently bought two reusable underwater cameras from Adorama Camera through Amazon. The reviews for this company looked great so I felt I couldn't go wrong. How wrong I was! I paid for two, but got one! Wait, thats the wrong way around... I immediately sent an email to the company requesting another camera or my money back and noted the shipping costs that were paid for the weight of one camera. However, in contrast to their great customer rating, I never heard back from them!
   
   Beware the deal you will get from shopping with Adorama Camera - they're in it for themselves apparently!



2. I just come back from my vacation to Caribian, where we did a lot of snorkeling. I bought this camera specially for this trip and used it a lot...
   Can you imagine my feelings when there were NO ONE picture that you can see. They even did not charge me in the processing center, because there was nothing to print...
   
   Two rolls of films (24 each) and NO pictures at all. The rolls were Kodak 800 (the best you can get) and I followed all instructions (I am tech guy, so it's not an issue).
   
   Next time I will buy one-time use Kodak or other brand underwater camera, but this one is trash...



3. We used this camera to swim with the manatees and we ended up trashing most of the pictures. Because we weren't in super super clear water like in Hawaii, the pictures didn't turn out that great even though there's a flash. The water was clear enough where I thought the pictures would turn out better since we used a disposable camera without flash the last time we were in Crystal Rive, FL. We were very disappointed since all the reviews were really good for this camera.



4. Great underwater camera value. Skip the "brand names". Easy to use and RE-USE since you can replace the film and batteries.



5. 1. First of all, everything about the camera is manual. Loading the film, remembering to rewind before opening the rear of the camera etc. It took me a while to figure it out. And by the way, I did expose one roll that had my diving pictures. Since it happened in dimly lit room, I still got some pictures.
   2. Having a flash was a plus but isnt a huge improvement. The pictures come good only in very short range. It defeats the whole purpose of wanting to take pictures when you go diving or snorkelling. It didnt capture the colors or the detail.
   
   Overall it wasnt much of an improvement over a disposable camera.

4 comments about Polaroid One Step Express Instant Camera.

1. This Polaroid One Step Express Instant Camera is not the latest model, but it is good & fun enough for people who want to "catch the moment"-- take and get pic in hands within 3 min.

   Digital cameras & images are great. You can almost take as many as pictures you want and would not be afraid of wasting your films. As the instant film is more expensive, you may not take pic that "freely" but what's on the pic will be what you treasure and you would like to keep. The size, shape, & texture of the instant film can give you something different & a little "nostagia" flavor.

   There was black & white film for this model, unfortunately, they are no longer manufactured. So, only color films are available for its use. That's a little disappointing, but I think this camera is still fun to have. :)




2. I have the silver version of this camera. (It uses the same 600 film so I assume they are the similiar (if not the same), just different colors). I think Polaroid instant cameras are great, but there are a few niggling problems. 1) Photos often lack sharpness and can look slightly out of focus, 2) For some reason an occasional photo will come out as if it has already been half-exposed, and 3) There is no counter to tell you how many pictures you have left! This is the most annoying aspect b/c you only get 10 photos per pack (and they're kind of spendy). There is little more frustrating than to press the button and have nothing happen. I believe there is a counter on the Joycam, but I prefer the traditional Polaroid size and shape. Otherwise, I still think this is a quality, fun camera and there is nothing better than not having to drop off your film for development.



3. I got this camera as a hand me down. It works great for instant gratification, but it is hard to get a quality picture. They can be blurry, or the person's head will end up really small and not in the place I wanted it to be in the picture.



4. the camera is good to use, but it is kind of old. however, it is acceptable.

5 comments about Canon EOS Rebel G SLR Camera Kit with 35-80mm Lens.

1. I bought this baby used for 40 bucks it was in mint condition. I read the reviews here and most didnt like the lens that came with the camera. I went out and got 2 other lenses a Canon 50mm f1.8 and a Sigma 70 - 300mm f4-5.6. Needless to say the pictures came out GREAT!! I had to get used to the fact that when you load the film it goes all the way to the end of the roll and shoots backwards. You get 24 exposures, when i loaded my other cameras manually you could squeeze in a extra frame or two. I dont mind about that this is a great camera if you are just starting out to shooting with film.



2. I got my Rebel G 10 years ago when it was over $200 bucks at a major department store. I've been using it ever since.
   
   It's sturdy and feels solid in my hands. The click that it makes isn't too loud but when you place your film in...it sure is pretty loud as it advances. I've used it in all types of weather and lighting situations and it still works fine. (I've done well to protect it from moisture and extreme heat too.) I've invested in a (hybrid digital/film) good lens an now my photo options are expanded. I use the original lens in situations where I can hand my camera to a friend and have them take the picture with the trusty green box (amateur) setting. There are several settings that Canon has on this camera that help you easily compose for the right situation.
   
   I'm not fond of the pop up flash as it can be distracting and does not produce lots of light in very dark situations. But good thing it gives you the option of adding another flash of your own onto it's hot shoe.
   
   Sometimes the auto-focus is a bit slow though it may be that my batteries are getting low. I rely on the manual focus. The batteries are what hinder me a bit since they are about $12 for a pair of them.
   
   Personally, I've had good experiences with Canon. And this camera is no different. It can be used by a beginner or with somebody who knows their way around a camera. This is also a great student camera since you can switch to a manual mode. (I've used it for class, it was great!)



3. I bought this film camera to use with my Canon digital XTi. I like to shoot both film and digital, and these two cameras use the same lenses, which is a plus. I do a lot of photo documentation, and with a negative in hand, there is less chance to claim that something has been 'photoshopped'. This is important in my line of research.
   
   The camera itself is a delight to use, and is light weight. The AF is flawless and very fast. The viewfinder is bright, and the mirror and shutter are relativly quiet, another important quality in my line of work. The grip provides a secure feel, again, which is important in the field.
   
   I would recomend the camera body without hesitation. The lens on the other hand is OK, but not great. I do not like lenses without a metal mounting bayonet, so I ditched the kit lens, and replaced it with the better lenses made by Canon. I want a tight, vibration free mount, and I do not trust plastic lens mounts.
   
   In all, this was a great bargan, and have already shot several rolls of film with it.



4. I have had this camera for over 7 years. I have taken it on countless trips to the beach, dropped it in foot deep snow twice, taken pictures in the rain, and left it in a closet with no dust protection for 6 months.....And even with all of this unintended abuse, it still works as perfectly as the day I bought it. It is a trustworthy camera that takes incredibly clear, colorful, and high quality photos. This camera has made me love photography and constantly strive for improvement. I highly recommend it.



5. I have had this camera since it first came out sometime in the mid-90's. It was a great camera back then, and I always loved the photos that it took. Then I 'grew up' and life got in the way, and my love of photography waned for many years. Digital cameras took over, and a Digital P&S was smaller, faster, and easier.
   
   Many years later, my love of photography has been renewed. The film camera simply needed to be dusted off and have some film, and it still takes pictures of the same clarity and quality as it always did before. I expected it to have some issues after having collected much dust over several years, but it was fine.
   
   I have now just purchased my first DSLR, but I will never get rid of my little Rebel G. It's small, light, easy to use, and takes amazing pictures even in Full-Auto mode with the kit lens (the only lens I ever had for it). It was expensive for my budget when it first came out and was new, but now used bodies in great shape can be purchased for around $100 if you shop around. All EF lenses work with it, as well as the Image stabilized ones.
   
   It really does take amazing pictures. My daugther's eyes are blue and the blue is truly captured with the film camera (see uploaded image). No digital camera, not even the ones the Pro's use, has ever truly captured the blue of her eyes like this little camera can.
