I have had over ten happy years ownership of an Olympus OM10 camera and have recently bought a second (not as a replacement but so I can have one with colour film and one with black and white). From the fact that I have two you are right in the assumption that I like this camera but why? First things first, as it was manufactured in the 1980s, the OM10 is a SLR (single lens reflex) camera which takes 35mm film ... yes this is still available in Boots and supermarkets quite cheaply; developing is also available both by post and in Boots and supermarkets, although I have noticed that supermarket developing (my preference for price, service and convenience) has ...  Read the complete review

This is one of those classic cameras, and probably more of an antique in this day and age with all the digital cameras. However it was the first camera I received and a cast off from my Dad, and the start of a passion in photography for myself. I have done a little bit of research on the origins, as of course, due to it being a cast off and the fact I was relatively young at the time, it meant I did not know about the slightly more interesting aspects.

The OM series of camera bodies are numbered by professional grade and order of release: single digit models (OM-1, OM-2 etc) are ...  Read the complete review

A light and easy to use camera way more capable than the price tag suggests. The camera as standard is an Aperture Priority automatic exposure, 35mm Single lens reflex. In Aperture Priority mode the user selects the aperture and the camera selects the shutter speed. Exposure compensation is still possible by moving the film speed dial up or down to increase or decrease the overall exposure depending on the lighting conditions. A so called Manual Adapter add on is really a must to give the user full control of their photography. The Manual adaptor is a clip on optional extra accessory which allows manual control of the shutter speeds and hence greater scope for ...  Read the complete review
