Amazon.com Product Description
Available in three colors--Kosmic Kiwi (lime green), Rocket Ruby (pinkish) and Sonic Sky (powder blue)--the Olympus i Snap APS camera is stylish, lightweight, and compact. It comes with a high-quality fixed-focus 24mm Olympus lens and automatic flash with red-eye reduction. Designed with the youth market in mind, this kit includes fun accessories like a see-through camera strap, a see-through camera case with a hook so you can hang it from a belt or bag, and an inflatable 3.5 x 5-inch picture frame that promises not to shatter. The complete package also includes a CR2 battery, APS film, and photo tips booklet. Because the camera uses the Advanced Photo System (APS), you just drop the film in and shoot--no loading, no worries. You can even have your film developed in three different print format sizes: classic 4 x 6-inch, HDTV 4 x 7-inch, and panoramic 4 x 11.5-inch.

4 out of 5 stars Perfect for taking just 4" x 6" pictures..........2005-03-24

I recommend for those who like using APS cameras to first try the one-time use verisons before buying this one. I have used two one-time use Kodak Advantix cameras, 35 mm single use, Poloraid instant camera, and 28 mm or 110 Kodak Cameo Camera. But I seem to like having more options and this is what came up. However, the Olympus i Snap APS camera doesn't have the Panamoric view, nor the Print H type available...just the Print C type available and that is 4" x 6" print type available on this camera. I remember paying alot to have a few panamoric prints being processed and that didn't come cheap. So, if you want three Print types available, then buy a used Kodak Advantix Camera instead of this one. Also, I think the resulting prints depends on what brand name film cartidge you use, the lighting, and how the exposed film is temporaily stored before it is taken in to be processed.

1 out of 5 stars Stylish but bad pictures.......2003-04-22

I think that this is a terrible camera. Even though it is very stylish, it takes bad pictures. Even if you have bright lighting the pictures look dark. I would not suggest buying this camera.

5 out of 5 stars Hip and Stylish Camera.......2001-08-22

Even at the age of 12, I think this camera would be great for kids, because its easy to reload film into and it's not hard to work with. I think it's a pretty cool camera, because there is color to it instead of the plain old normal gray and black. You don't have to worry about you're kids breaking a hundred dollar camera the first time they you use it. I would give this product a five star rating.
