The Olympus IS-2000 is an interesting camera. Technically an SLR, but more equivalent to a modern-day bridge camera. Amazing optics, and fully featured, it is a joy to use.
The good:
• For a 30-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.
• Shutter fires well, and tested exposures reveal no timing issues.
• Focus ring is fast and accurate.
• Flash works as expected.
• Full of features.
The less good:
• The viewfinder has some debris at the edges of the frame. This does not affect image quality, nor usability.
• The lens itself has a few specs of dust, but nothing that is noticeable in the final images (see attached sample photos)
• General wear and tear.
