Comments about Olympus Olympus Stylus Epic Black Camera with 35mm lens (requires #123 lithium battery):

This is the camera that goes every where with me and looks it; worn body with a scratch here and there, but not on the lens. My philosophy is if you don't have the image, you don't have the great photo; this is the camera which fills in for my DSLR when I'm not lugging the big camera around.

The camera is simple: quick to set up and shoot. Its the simplicity and quality of picture from a good lens that keeps bringing people back to this cult camera. The lens is reasonably fast given today's slower zoom lenses; its nice to shoot with a 2.8 lens.

No one is impressed when I show them the camera, but I'm usually the only one with a camera. My thinking is this: "the best camera is the one with you, not the one sitting at home."

Its easy to have a photo shop install your images onto CD, then process them in your computer. Or if you have a quality scanner at home, scan the negatives into the computer to work with and print out, email, or post to a web.

Its almost a perverted pleasure getting great images out of this camera and showing folks latter what camera took the image.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Stylus Epic Black Camera with 35mm lens (requires #123 lithium battery):

Bought it for my wife but I love what it produces so it is borrowed often. I used an photo from it at our camera club's first compitition this year and won first place. It became the talk of the club beating photos shot with cameras costing much, much more. Terrific back up camera for travel and family event for less than $100. Hard to beat.

This is a great "grab shot" camera. Small, light and fast. I carry it with me every day in Manhattan.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Stylus Epic Black Camera with 35mm lens (requires #123 lithium battery):

I purchased this camera to replace my dad's camera that he lost in Las Vegas. He always admired my older Olympus Stylus' picture quality and ease of use. He is absolutely thrilled with it. It's a nice camera for his casual user age because he doesn't feel intimitated by it. He's had it for a couple of years now and I haven't heard any complaints.
