Amazon.com Review

The durable Olympus Stylus Epic offers full-featured, high-quality 35mm operation in an affordable package. With this ultra-portable point-and-shoot--one of the smallest 35mm cameras available--you'll never leave your camera at home.

While it's extraordinarily light and small, the Olympus Stylus Epic is heavy on styling and great features. It sports a miniature version of Olympus's signature clamshell sliding case, making it easy to turn the camera on and off. Its good-looking, high impact case is durable and splashproof.

The Olympus Stylus Epic offers the advanced features of Olympus's larger camera lines, including quartz date and time imprinting and a self timer. The Olympus Stylus Epic also has a whopping six flash modes, including automatic, red-eye reduction, and night scene.

The Olympus Stylus Epic was a pleasure to use--it was as small or smaller than many of the new Advanced Photo System (APS) cameras, but uses standard 35mm film. Its tapered design made it easy to slip in a pocket, and since it was little larger than a deck of cards, we found ourselves carrying it everywhere. If you hate lugging even a normal-size point-and-shoot around, the Olympus Stylus Epic has the portability you need.

Pros:

Extremely lightweight and compact
Durable construction
Wide range of flash options
Affordable

Cons:

Battery compartment is hard to open

I'm a Japanese.......2007-06-01

Small, light, and strong.

The best for a tough traveling abroad.

It has no Panorama Mode, no Wireless Remote Control, no Pouch, and no CR123A Battery.

Then, it is simpler than Olympus µ[mju:]-II.

great little camera.......2005-10-11

I am absolutely NOT a photographer. The pix I took with this camera all came out excellent.

great pictures, but unreliable.......2005-08-05

Because of the lens, pictures come out sharp and beautiful. I've even took slides.

It's small and, so, it fits in your pocket. I take it kayakking.

But I find it unreliable. I've owned three and each time around the 1 year mark, the camera would inadvertently rewind the film as I was opening the shell.

I wish that there was a competitor. But there's really no other point and shoot with anything close to the sharpness that comes with an f2.8 lens.

Simple camera that takes great pictures!.......2005-06-27

As others have noted, this is a non-zoom camera with an excellent, fast lens. I bought it a month ago in preparation for an upcoming trip to Italy. As someone who learned to use a Pentax ME Super 25 years ago, I bought it mainly for the fast lens and small size. I also like that it has a slightly wider angle than my zoom compact camera -- great for both travel pictures and indoor group pictures. So far I've taken two rolls of film, in part to test all the features of the camera, and all of the pictures are excellent. I may add to this review after my Italy trip.

A few things I've noticed so far:

1. There are times when it uses the flash for outdoor pictures -- even when people are not in the picture. I assume it thinks it needs a fill flash in those situations. The pictures were all good, but it was a little disconcerting at first to see the flash go off on a sunny day.

2. When the date feature is used, the pictures have the date at the bottom right but not all the way in the corner. The date is smaller than I had with a Pentax IQZoom 140, and the red color sometimes blends in with the photo. I use the date feature only on one or two shots per roll to help me later remember the correct time frame for certain events.

3. Using just the standard flash setting (instead of the red-eye reduction setting), I haven't had any problems yet with red-eye. I should note, however, that many of the pictures were taken outdoors -- only a small number were taken indoors.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this camera so far.

Additional comments: I took 15 rolls of film during my trip to Italy, and I'm very pleased with the results!

Forget the BIG ZOOM. Go with this little guy.......2005-01-16

Let me start off by saying that I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to photography. All things considered, I would much rather shoot film than digital. I primarily shoot in B+W, with an SLR, process my own film, and if I need a digital copy, I'll have the film scanned. I own a terrific little digi-cam (Canon S330), but I never fell in love with the format.

That being said, I wanted to compliment my SLR system with a small 35mm camera to carry with me all the time. I considered a Lomo, but decided against it taking into consideration the reliability issues. Since I love my EOS Elan 7e and the S330 performs commendably, I choose a Canon Sure Shot 115u. I wasn't very impressed with the first few rolls, but I wasn't expecting much from a point and shoot. After about 10 or so rolls, I did some research (perhaps later than I should have). I learned that the key to a good point and shoot was the speed of the lens. Very few point and shoots have fast lenses, and a big whopping zoom only slows down the lens more. The lens on the 115u is an f5.6 at its fastest, with zoom fully retracted. The overall choice from the research was the old Yashica T4, which is no longer available. The second choice was the Stylus Epic. The lens is an f 2.8. I bought one and boy was I surprised.

This camera is terrific! Quick is the best way to describe it. Out of the box, the instructions are simple. I was up and taking pictures immediately. The auto-focus and auto-exposure lock on accurately in the blink of an eye. The auto-flash performs an admirable job of providing enough light without washing out the subject. The flash also fires to overcome exposure issues from fluorescent and tungsten lighting. Pictures come out sharp and detailed.

But here is the secret...pop in a roll of ISO 400 (or ISO 3200 if you are adventurous) black and white or ISO 800 color film, engage the spot mode, turn off the flash (as simply described in the manual) and shoot away. The indoor photos are spectacular. The camera favors wide aperture over a slow shutter speed. Camera shake is almost never an issue. One doesn't have to feel so invasive with the flash popping off when trying to get some candid shots. The pictures develop with a true, natural lighting that so many photographers crave.

The drawbacks of this little guy are the same ones as others have said. When you close the lens cover, the next time you open it up, you have to re-set your settings; because it is small, if you are not careful, your finger can get in the way of the lens; and the buttons are difficult to operate even for people with Lilliputian digits. However, these are minor concerns.

This review may be a little hyperbolic, but I am very impressed with this camera. Just remember it is a point and shoot and not an SLR. If you want true versatility, you will be disappointed. However, I have had my Epic for a little less than a month, it has not left my side, and I have shot 15 rolls of film (even in the snow; don't forget the weather-proofing). It was exactly what I wanted. If you think you need a zoom lens, you don't.; move closer to your subject. If that doesn't help, the photograph probably wouldn't have been that good with the zoom lens anyway.

PS The 115u resides in the glove compartment of my car, just in case I ever have an accident I need to document.

Amazon.com Review

The Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 QD CG offers advanced features and a zoom in a compact package, allowing you to get the close-up shots you want with the portability you need.

While the Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 is one of the smallest zoom cameras available, it is heavy on styling and great features. Its miniature version of Olympus's signature clamshell sliding case makes it easy to turn the camera on and off, while offering protection against lens scratches. It comes in a good-looking and durable brushed champagne gold case that is splash-proof, so you can shoot pictures in all kinds of weather. The 38-80mm zoom lens is perfect for framing portraits, getting in on the action, and capturing faraway subjects.

The Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 offers the advanced features of Olympus's larger camera lines, including quartz date and time imprinting and a self timer. The Olympus Stylus Epic also has a whopping six flash modes, including automatic, red-eye reduction, and night scene. It also has a useful Infinity mode, which sets the focus to let you take shots of distant landscapes and other subjects.

The Olympus Stylus Epic is a pleasure to use--it is as small as or smaller than many of the new Advanced Photo System (APS) cameras, but still uses standard 35mm film.

Its tapered design made it easy to slip in a pocket, and since it is little larger than a deck of cards, we found ourselves carrying it everywhere. It's especially nice to have the zoom in such a compact camera. --Walt Opie

Pros:

It very cool.......2004-12-02

This is a very cool overall camera! The zoom is average, but the picture quality is AMAZING!!! I use the cheapest film around and my brother is a camera freak and my camera still takes better pictures than his! I have had it for 5 years and I LOVE IT!!!

If you want a nice camera with great quality

GET IT :>)

Sliding door failed after minimal usage, otherwise great.......2004-06-16

I really loved this camera, but the sliding "door" broke and wouldn't close after only a few months of minimal usage. I don't know if I got a lemon, or what. The camera was never dropped or otherwise abused. I had had another Olympus for years with the same design, that worked great--it's really easy to get quick shots when you can slide off the lens cover and turn on the camera all in one quick motion ; I will most likely try another one even after my bad experience with this one. I hope that they have solved this issue, if it was widespread--at least one other reviewer mentioned the same problem...

perfect point and click camera.......2003-10-22

The size and design of this camera make it ideal for what it is designed for. It takes great pictures in light and dark (though it's better at outdoor pictures) and it fits easily into your pocket. It opens quickly with one hand; no fumbling around with a lens cap. It focuses quickly so you can take a shot from a closed position very quickly.

The only thing worth noting is that this is a point and click camera. If you want to control exposure, shutter speed, etc. or play with macro, this is not your camera.

Handy Dandy Camera.......2003-08-16

We purchased this camera to take on a European vacation. It is very easy to use and the pictures, for the most part, turned out well. I only wish I had taken along an old 35mm SLR I've had for 20 years so I could have used a wider variety of lenses. This camera, for all of its capabilities, did a very good job.

looking for manual.......2003-07-10

I would love to be able to use my camera.. It was given to me without instructions.. please help
