Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The IS-5's sleek, compact design makes it comfortable to take almost anywhere and comfortable to hold when the picture-taking time is ripe. And great features like a built-in twin flash system, creative exposure modes, spot metering, macro, continuous shooting, and panorama mode help to make you further at-ease while taking some of the best pictures you've ever recorded.

This is possibly the best 35mm film camera available for the amateur photographer. In point-and-shoot mode it is simple to use, and has a very good zoom feature. The flash provides options for different situations (though as mentioned in a previous review, the "red-eye reduction" flash works best in a "say cheese" situation). It has some good optional manual features for those who want to experiment. Best of all it takes excellent pictures. I have run several rolls through mine, and I prefer the results more than what I get from my 6MP digital camera. For anyone wanting to take the next step above the pocket-camera, the IS-5 would be perfect.

I had a digital camera that burned through batteries. This Olympus camera was the best I have ever seen for vacationing and, of course, other uses. The camera is ready to go at a moment's notice and quickly changes from 28 to 140 mm at the press of a button. I don't have to worry about batteries or a long lag time while the camera gets ready to shoot. Also, there is no lag after the shutter is clicked as is true of digital cameras. The shutter speed goes up to 1/2000 th of a second so pictures of widely varying light content and speed are possible. The camera is compact and lightweight and self contained so you don't need a camera bag with a bunch of lenses.

This is our third "IS" Olympic camera and is replacing a broken "IS 2". My wife is the primary user and she loves all of them but especially the "IS 5". For the past month she has been using a good Nikon pocket camera with a view finder (not "through the lens"}. She couldn't wait for the new Olympus TTL. Using the IS 5 will absolutely spoil you against smaller "point and shoot" cameras. I own Nikon F and Olympus OM cameras and use IS 5 90% of the time because of ease and quality of photos. We travel all over the world and find the IS series of cameras from Olympus to be the perfect travel camera for us.
