Cons: Can't take anything closer than 2 ft.

I needed a new point-and-shoot to replace my trusty old Olympus of five years (I'm embarrassed to say that I'd dropped it one too many times...it still works, but these are memories I'm taking, and I don't want to be caught off guard one day...), so I...

Pros: Produces good pictures and is waterproof.
Cons: none

The Olympus Stylus Epic is one of the best point-and-shoot designs of all time.However, it just got a lot better. Epic added a faster lens, faster shutter, trick metering, and more.

The Simple-operating Stylus has controls for self-timer,...

Pros: Small, convenient, and takes good snaps
Cons: Uses an expensive battery.

Our old Nikon point-and-click suddenly died on us after 5 years of regular use, so we went shopping for a new camera at London Drugs.

We wanted a small camera, for the economical 35mm standard format, without fancy zoom lenses to go wrong,...

Pros: size, performance, water resistance
Cons: prone to dust on the gasket seal

I have been taking photos for nearly 50 years and I find that this is the most convenient camera I have ever owned. It all so has amazing qualities such as an ultra fast lens is water resistant and is small enough to put in a pocket and hardly be...

Pros: Inexpensive, good basic features, dependable, compact
Cons: Lacks features of better cameras, not professional quality

Stylin' with the Stylus...

I was first introduced to Olympus as a camera company a bunch of years ago. My sister's venerable Kodak DISC camera had had it, and she was looking for something compact, automatic, and...

Pros: Great Clarity, takes pictures at night
Cons: none

I bought this camera off of my brother's recommendation about two years ago, and it continues to amaze me. The picture quality is incredible, with the ability to adjust to all light conditions for a great shot. Sometimes I wonder if it possible to take...

Pros: Very compact, inexpensive, sharp lens, f/2.8 aperture (great for indoor / subdued light shooting); 35mm focal length (wide enough for most indoor / party shots, many vacation shots)
Cons: None really

From time to time manufacturers get the "magic formula" of a given type item just right, resulting in a product that's priced right, has all the features you want and none of the gimmicks to get in the way, is a joy to use, and produces...

Pros: all-weather, sharp pictures, light weight
Cons: fragile, no zoom

I borrowed this tiny camera for a weekend from my brother so that I wouldn't carry a big SLR around. I didn't really care about a superb quality, just needed to shoot something easy. It was quite a surprise when I developed the pictures, a tiny Stylus...

Pros: Small beauty
Cons: Wanted more manual control options

It is not commercial by Olympus, just opinion of my own!

When I selected camera for myself, I wanted small good-looking camera that takes good pictures. Because large, pro-looking camera are too large to put it in coat's pocket and other...

Cons: With price in mind there are no cons.

My requirements were...

Pros: Lots of features for the price, fantastic optics
Cons: Small view finder

Stylus Epic

If you are looking for a small, light, rugged, inexpensive camera that takes great pictures, look no further. I travel a lot on business and get to visit some really nice places. I have an expensive SLR, but I’m reluctant to...

Pros: Great optics
Cons: Breakable

The dreaded cheapo zoom lens is hard to avoid these days in a point'n'shoot camera, which is why I love the Stylus Epic.

The zoom lenses on P'n'S cameras suck. They're slow, which means large depth of field (bad for portrait shots). They have...

Pros: Compact, sleek, top quality functions and picture results, an overal very cool camera
Cons: Not the best there is, but the best there is for your money and general needs

This is one of my favorite compact 35mm cameras, bottom line. Few cameras pack so many benefits and perks into a small package. It looks good, it feels good. Picture quality is far from sacrificed, however. The automatic focus function is activated...

Pros: 2.8 aperture, focusing range, lightweight, compact, clarity of pictures
Cons: no filter mount, no zoom

How did I become convinced of the merits of the Stylus Epic point-and-shoot automatic camera?
