Olympus Stylus Epic QD CG Date 35mm Camera description
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

Olympus Stylus Epic QD CG Date 35mm Camera Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

Very Good Within Its' Limitations, could use more manual controls, but Spot Meter helps!

I stand by MOST of my old review, BUT after using the Epic a bit more, I've found that the Spot Metering is a good workaround for some of the camera's shutter-priority programming. Put that Spot meter to careful use, and you can get more depth-of-field and less flash use. Also, after days of heavy rain recently here in California, the Weather Resistant features are nice, too. This camera really IS a great value!

OLD REVIEW:
I'd suggest finding an old Olympus XA in good condition instead of this mostly pre-programmed techno-cam, although it does have a sharp lens..and it's very small and light too. But the autofocus is a little touchy, and it wants to shoot at f2.8 in any kind of even slightly low light. With the XA, you can choose any aperture(or ISO!)you want, and the lens is even sharper..of course, you might have to use a tripod too, but the Stylus Epic won't really acknowledge that choice!
However, within its' parameters, it's a slick little camera, and you really shouldn't have to pay too much for it; refurbished ones go for under $50.
