Amazon.com Product Description

Sleek and expertly designed, the Olympus IS-50 35mm camera provides all the manual controls you need to give photos that personal touch; or, you can sit back and let the automatic functions take over effortlessly. The powerful wide-angle 4.3x zoom lens provides you the range of perspectives you need without having to lug around various lenses.

The advanced flash system has variable power to provide the right amount of light for different conditions, and you can also set the flash to red-eye reduction, fill, and manual off. The predictive autofocus system keeps the subject sharp and clear. Shoot in different exposure modes like landscape, night scene, portrait, and stop action for the ideal look. You can easily keep track of these settings with the large LCD panel.

Film operation is a cinch with fully automatic film load, advance, and rewind. The 12-second self-timer is useful for shooting self-portraits and group photos. You can also imprint the date and time onto photos for record-keeping purposes. Given its ergonomic design, the IS-50 is easy to hold and carry around for any purpose.

I love this camera.......2006-06-23

The world has gone digital and yet Olympus produced one of the best 35mm cameras out there just as film cameras were becoming obsolete. It's a shame because this camera kicks [...], because it's simple to use, produces amazing shots and has a great zoom/lens, autofocus, battery life (beats any digital camera) and it feels great in my hand. I've taken many shots with it, including B&W shots, which are even greater than color shots. I've also taken tons of night shots, including auroras, which I never knew how to do before. This camera works especially well with Fuji film. I want to buy another one before they get rid of film cameras forever. Sad.

Great for point & shoot, but still lacking.......2005-06-09

The Olympus IS series cameras have always had an identity crisis. At first they were called "ZLRs" or "Zoom Lens Reflex." They have the internal making of an SLR (a mirror mechanism that shows you exactly what the lens is seeing), but lack the versatility of being able to change the lens.

I've owned or given as gifts a number of Olympus cameras - the OM10, the IS-2, the IS-10 and now the IS-50. To this day the IS-2 remains one of my favorite cameras, especially with its unbelievable macro ability that rivals cameras/lenses costing hundreds more.

The IS-50 is a good camera. It takes great photos, its exposure system is excellent, it's light weight, has a powerful flash, and its automated features will be a boon to novice users. However, there are still better choices available.

I bought the IS-50 for a young nephew who wanted something easy to use and to shoot sports. The IS-50 delivers on the first, fails completely on the second. This camera does not have a continuous advance and focus sports mode. You press the shutter release, take a shot, and then have to repeat.

As a semi-pro user I found the flash warning system on the IS-50 to be especially annoying. The average person can easily take a photo in low light situations with a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second. People with super steady hands can even go as low as 1/15th. Experienced photographers know that you want to use natural light as much as possible because the flash creates shadows and harsh skin tones. The IS-50, however, starts warning users to use a flash at around 1/100th of a second! This makes no sense.

Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal for a point and shoot. However, camera prices, especially on 35mm models, are falling and users are expecting some bang for their buck. For the same price of an IS-50 you can buy a used Nikon N50 or N65 - both of which offer versatility, ease of use and exapandability. Earlier IS models such as the IS-1, 2 and 3 all offered much of these features. Why not the IS-50? At the very least, the price should be lower given the value and low cost of novice SLR models such as the Nikon models or the Canon Rebel.

Even with all these criticisms, the IS-50 is still an OK choice for novice users. If you want simplicity and good 35mm photos this is one camera to look at. Just be aware that for the same price or a little bit more you can get a camera that's a lot better.

The Best Camera Ever.......2004-11-20

I have never owned a camera before this one but I have taken a lot of pictures with other cameras so I know a good camera. I did a lot research when I decided to finally buy my own camera. I chose this one based on it's not complex features. I wanted something that would take up a lot of my time to learn as I am a college student and need that time to study school work not how to work a camera. I got the camera about two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with the results, these are some of the best pictures that I have ever taken. This is definatly a camera that is for the first time camera owner.

Fun starter camera.......2004-06-22

Although all the gadgets were a little overwhelming at first their instruction manual is very helpful and helped me not only with the camera but a little general photography. It would have been nice to get some batteries with it but if that's the only gripe I've got I'm pretty impressed.

Excellent Beginner SLR.......2004-05-28

I recently went on a trip to England, and wanted a camera that was of higher quality. I chose the SLR style because I wanted what I saw in the viewfinder to be what the final product looked like. I chose this camera specifically because it has an integrated zoom lense (up to 120mm) and multiple automatic features. I have found this camera to be excellent in nearly every aspect.

PROS:
1.Fantastic image quality. Olympus lenses seem to be of superior quality to some other major brands I've tried.
2. Quick selection of auto features (night, landscape, high speed, etc.)
3. LONG battery life
4. Quick rewind and loading of 35mm. film

CONS:
1. Built in lens means no way to change lense (No going to a telephoto or macro lense.) What you see is what you get.

6 our of 12 EZNET-8SW overheated.......2001-09-12

I'm actually writing about the EZNET-8SW, which appears to be slightly different than the EZ-8SW. I purchased 12 of these switches to expand networks in our building. 6 of the 12 units have a horrible heat problem. They all get hot to touch, but 6 of them lock up regularly. Cycling the power helps for a couple hours, but then it locks up all over again. This has been an ongoing problem and unless they changed the EZ-8SW a whole lot, I can't see it being much different with the heat problem.

SMC hasn't wanted to swap out the units. Each time I get on the phone with tech support, they pretty say, "well, is it working now?" to which I say, yeah, but in a couple hours, it won't. "Well, if it's working now, I can't really issue an RMA." Give me a break!

I got a D-Link DSS-8+ and it never even gets hot and never locks up.

Better Quality - Same Price.......2001-08-04

Not much to say about the functionality - plug it in and it goes to work BUT, the thing that made me happy was it has a real, metal case AND a conventional computer style, three prong plug! A little switch with the quality of a big one.

SMC EZ-8SW - good 10/100 switch, reasonable price.......2001-06-10

The SMC EZ-8SW is a non-managed 10/100 switch. You give it power and plug ethernet cable into the RJ45 jacks, and it sends stuff to the right places, at up to 100 Bps each way, on each port. Mine's been doing that, reliably, for several months. Before that, I was using a 5-port SMC EZ switch, and it likewise delivered 2x100 Bps per port with no trouble for about a year, but I ran out of ports, so I got the 8-port version. This model uses normal AC -- no transformer block to try to fit, awkwardly, somewhere; it has a grounded plug, so you'll need a three-prong outlet within 4 feet of the switch location.

The switch looks and feels solid, largely because of the all-metal case. As for speed ... within the local network, files under a megabyte seem to move instantaneously, larger files move at about 10Mb/sec. In ordinary home or small office use, this switch won't be a bottleneck.

About the only thing I don't like is that the cable jacks are on the front of the unit, so with my setup the status lights are partly obscured by cables.

Good unit, dead simple to use, completely reliable so far.
