REVIEW:

The Olympus IS-500 is an all-in-one SLR camera; it looks and acts like a traditional 35mm SLR, but the lens is built-in and cannot be detached.

So the IS-500 is a cross between a compact camera, in that it has a fixed lens, and a 35mm SLR camera, with the creative control that the SLR format offers.

Offering the versatility and quality of an SLR camera with the comfort and convenience of a compact, the Olympus IS-series is the ultimate All-In-One solution.

Stunningly designed and easy to use, these cameras offer a multitude of exceptionally sophisticated features for total creative control.

 The superior clarity afforded by the outstanding high-class lens system, guarantees the ultimate in image reproduction.

Let professional results be a pleasure to obtain with the Olympus IS-series of cameras.

DETAILED INFORMATION:

The lens on the IS-500 is a 28-120 mm, f4.9-f6.8 zoom lens.

 The lens accepts inexpensive 52mm filters.

It has a range of automatic modes including Program AE: Full-Auto, Stop Action, Portrait, Night Scene, Landscape, and then offers Aperture-Priority AE and Long Time (manual) as the more advanced modes.

 Exposure compensation, where you can over-ride the exposure that the camera has set, is available in 1/2 steps up to 2EV above or below the recommended exposure.

One of the main strengths of the IS-500 when you compare it to conventional compact cameras is its flash performance.

 There are 4 flash modes available; Auto Flash (Automatic flash activation in low-light, backlight and fluorescent light), Red-Eye Reduction Flash (same as Auto otherwise), Fill-in (forced activation) and Super FP activation.

The last one, Super FP, is perhaps the most interesting, as it allows full flash-shutter synchronisation up to 1/2,000 second in Portrait Mode.

Otherwise the IS-500 is limited to a maximum synchronisation speed of 1/100th second.

The IS-500 has an impressive range of metering options, with TTL light metering system, ESP light metering, centre-weighted average light metering and spot metering all available.

 As the IS-500 is aimed at beginners to SLR photography, film loading, advance and rewind are all automatically handled by the camera.

There is an LCD panel on the back of the camera which displays all relevant settings, and the optical viewfinder displays the Autofocus frame, Spot frame, Autofocus indicator, Flash indicator (also used as flash warning)and Exposure compensation / overexposure / underexposure warning.
