Olympus Trip 600

(*est. $30)

Olympus Trip 600

Basic 35mm film camera

pros
  • Compact and lightweight
  • Wide 28 mm lens
  • Inexpensive
cons
  • No zoom
  • Limited features

Olympus is one of the few companies still making 35mm point-and-shoot film cameras, so it's fortunate that reviewers are fond of its product line (though we found few reviews for this specific camera). The Olympus Trip 600 is inexpensive, lightweight and compact; reviewers point out that it doesn't have a zoom or many other features, and it is really just one step above a disposable camera. One nice feature is the Trip's wide, 28mm lens, which is suitable for landscape shots or fitting a large group of people into the frame. If you'd like something more fully featured, reviewers praise the Olympus Stylus Epic (*est. $100), which is weatherproof and solidly constructed.

Not many professional sites or magazines review 35mm point and shoot cameras anymore, so we consulted user opinions about the Olympus Trip 600 and other cameras in the Olympus Trip lineup on retail and consumer-review sites, including Amazon.com and Epinions.com.

2. Epinions.com

Epinions is a good place to find user reviews for film cameras, which are rarely rated. You can find reviews here on some of the Olympus Trip cameras and also for the Olympus Stylus Epic line.
