Summary: DIDN'T THINK IT POSSIBLE
Review: I've used Nikon SLR's for about 20 years and about two years ago picked up a Stylus Epic DLX as a simple "carry around" camera.

I fell in love with that little thing and it was stolen a short time later.

Went to Miami Beach for a vacation earlier this year and picked up a Zoom 80 a few days before and I never even tried it out.

Well, the pictures exceeded my expectations. That night time flash mode is super accurate. I took some shots of the art-deco district in SoBe using this mode and was shocked at the results! I couldn't believe the accuracy of the exposures using Fuji 200 print film.

I can't say enough about this camera. It's doesn't equal my Nikon lenses for sharpness, but Olympus has nothing to be ashamed of in that department. I'm sure Olympus' SLR's would also come out ahead on sharpness, but sometimes I just don't feel like carrying 10lbs of equipment around.

Summary: Great value!
Review: Found the camera extremely good for the price. All the photos I have taken till now have turned out fantastic. I am a beginner and it hardly took me time getting used to the camera. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good camera for less.

Summary: This camera is great
Review: I received my camera as a Christmas gift from son. I had always complained about my other camera - it was to big, I didn't like carrying it around. This Olympus Stylus is great. It is compact, light weight and most important, it takes wonderful pictures. I take it everywhere -- when my daughter isn't borrowing it. I am thinking about buying her one as a graduation gift to take to college with her. She is always borrowing mine, and I can't afford for her to take it off to college with her. I love it.

Summary: the best 35mm zoom ever!
Review: This camera has style. For everyone who has not had the opportunity to own an Olympus stylus, you are in a for a big treat! Not only are the controls intuitive, the quality is superb. The pictures that come out seem flawless and even professional. If you need to get a camera, this is it! Anyone can be a pro, with it. Also this camrea is sleek and small. It also makes people turns heads, and ask what it is. I am very glad I bought my Epic Zoom 80.

Summary: FYI
Review: The camera is great, but does not come with batteries. Add another $10 to the purchase price.

Summary: great value
Review: So far i have taken 9 rolls of film with this camera since december 25, and the camera works perfectly. sharp lens, well made, and good features. Although if i were shopping for this camera again, i would get the rollei prego 90 for only 30 bucks more. its zoom range is better, and the optics are better, with tons of features. none the less, this camera still isnt that bad

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great camera
Review: I got this camera for Christmas and its been a blast to take pictures with it ever since. Its small enough to fit into your pocket, but not so small that you feel akward holding it. All the pictures that I have taken come out really nice, the color quality is superb, as is the focusing. Overall, this camera is a great baragain, and is great as a gift.

Summary: This is my second Stylus!
Review: About five years ago I bought one of the first Stylus cameras. Worked great. I had one small problem when I damaged the battery door. (the original door was hard to open) I bought a new one. I see several small but well thought out refinements. Same great pictures!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tiny, great pictures, but not very durable
Review: I'm on my second Olympus infin. stylus/epic zoom camera. It takes great pictures, is easy to use, and very compact (although some of the new APS cameras are smaller now.) But, not very durable. My first broke (some gear/gizmo in the retractable lens) I got it fixed (for $90! ), and it broke again a year later. Silly me - I go shopping for a new camera, and this one wins me over again because of its small size and picture quality. But, here I am, only a year later (again!)and the flash is broken - and it's another $80 repair!

I take a lot of pictures (3-4 rolls of film a month), so maybe the small size/small parts of this camera are not durable enough for that much use. But, if you plan to use less frequently, I'd recommend. It does take really good pics!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sliding door failed after minimal usage, otherwise great
Review: I really loved this camera, but the sliding "door" broke and wouldn't close after only a few months of minimal usage. I don't know if I got a lemon, or what. The camera was never dropped or otherwise abused. I had had another Olympus for years with the same design, that worked great--it's really easy to get quick shots when you can slide off the lens cover and turn on the camera all in one quick motion ; I will most likely try another one even after my bad experience with this one. I hope that they have solved this issue, if it was widespread--at least one other reviewer mentioned the same problem...
