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:
    • Battery compartment is hard to open

The light exposure is messed up. After getting the photos developed I noticed a big light ring around all the photos ruining most completely. 20 out of 40 photos where totally useless.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful little camera
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2001

Takes great pictures. Survives a drop onto the sidewalk (dropped from 2 feat from a bench). Handles rain no problemo. Still takes great pictures. Small size is great and it's easy to use. The editor review says battery compartment is hard to open -- It is unintuitive by the arrow direction (it looks straight), but look at the hindges and you'll figure it out. The viewfinder is tiny, but it works just fine. The camera's small size lets you get 2-3 extra pictures from a 24 exposure roll becuase you don't have to roll out the film at all to cross the camera body :) It is so small that it fits in teh secondary compartment of the camera bag I bought along with it.
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera for the price
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2001

I am pretty pleased with this purchase. The camera is really nice and seems pretty sturdy. My chief complaint though is that it is super slow opening up. Well, it seems really slow. Maybe I am a product of the instant gratification crowd, but it is a little annoying when you have the must take quickly picture opportunity. I guess you just get used to it. Overall, however, I am very happy with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect For Close-Up Shots!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2000
Verified Purchase
I bought the Olympus Stylus Zoom 80 because our family needed a camera that could take close-ups without getting all blurry. At first I was skeptical that such a small camera could really take good pictures close-up. Boy, was I ever wrong! When I got back my first roll of film I couldn't believe the crispness and clarity of the close-up pictures. My wife practically had tears in her eyes when she looked at the pictures. All she could say was "WOW, we should've bought this camera a long time ago." I couldn't agree more.
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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Dated but good
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2008

Maybe this camera is too dated. It's quite large, it can barely be called a compact camera. Also, the maximum aperture is a mere F4.5, so it's a good idea to use high-speed film.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t load/roll film
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022

Was so excited to use but it doesn’t roll/load the film. I’ve tried going to 3 different camera shops to see if they could help and ofcourse they couldn’t help too much because this camera is discontinued. So disappointed because the reviews were mostly all good. Would love to exchange or something for one that works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Picture this: First trip to Italy
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2001
Verified Purchase
I purchased my Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 in January specifically to take on my vacation to Italy. I did not regret it! It's lightweight and very convenient to carry in my purse when not in use. I used 400 speed and I took pictures through the bus windows (without the flash), on cloudy days and even on a boat ride in the afternoon rain and never had a problem. It was quick and easy to learn how to utilize the extra features: date, red-eye reduction, zoom and wide angle. The night time pictures did blur - I did not have the suggested tripod. I had a great time in Italy and I have wonderful pictures to recall the fun!
