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:
- Extremely lightweight and compact
- Durable construction
- Wide range of flash options
- Includes zoomCons:

The zoomer is cool. They say that it is 2.2x, but a 35mm with no zoom is .45x, so you are actually getting 4x zoom relative to a non-zoom 35mm wide angle point and shoot. This is the best bet for your money. If you want more zoom, go get a professional camera, but with that much money (over $200), its time to go digital.
This is the perfect camera for me going to LA and shooting at the LA Galaxy (Soccer MLS) players.
Best of all this camera is a snap to use and has tons of great features. We really like the quartz dating as it comes in handy when creating memory books. We also bought the accessory kit with the remote control and camera case.
For the price you can't beat it!
On the other hand, the picture quality is excellent, with SLR-type quality. Genuinely much better than the results I can get from a similarly-sized digital camera, especially at the shorter end of the zoom. And the flash does a pretty good job. There's some red-eye, but in general it doesn't over-light scenes, the way most flashes do on small cameras.
I had this camera for a number of years, and my friend still uses it. Over the years it's developed a few problems: it makes a grinding sound as the zoom extends (it hasn't broken yet, but I expect it will someday), and it can be a little tricky to open the door enough to activate the camera.
Maybe the still-in-production Stylus Epic 2.8 lens is a better choice - there's no zoom but it has a faster lens, a smaller body, and slightly better picture quality.
