Strength:

I am a professional scrapbooker and people always comment on my pictures. The quality is unbelieveable. My whole family has this kind of camera and we are all very pleased with it. I like the way you can choose your flash and couldn't live without the zoom!

Weakness:

None at all. I'[ve had to replace the battery a few times but that is easy.

When I need to replace this camera, I'll get another Olympus for sure!

Customer Service

I've never needed customer service but I'm sure it is good.

I've used other 35 mm but none compare to this.

Strength:

Lightweight! Damage resistant casing. Sexy camera body. Weather resistant.

Weakness:

Wish the autoflash was not ON by default, but rather an option to turn on. The autofocus can be unpredictable, typical for a P&S.

Typically a zoom lens on a P&S is just going to add weight and extra light fraction exposure, but I've found with my Olympus Stylus Epic Z80, neither of these are factors. The zoom (four-element 35/2.8 lens) is not super powerful, but nice to have nonetheless. The body camera style and quality name brand really sold me on this camera. I notice this web page has a listed MSRP of $249, but most stores sell it for $149.

Model Reviewed: Stylus Epic Zoom 80

Strength:

I have the 80 Wide which has thte 28 mm.
Clamshell design is the best. Champaigne colour- girls like it.
Sharp/ very contrasty.

Weakness:

no, but a bit on the chunky side

Very contrasty lense- wide 28 is great for travel- I wish someone would make a 24mm fixed pocketable P&S. a definette no brainer- is good indoors- where most P&S don't do well because of the slow zoom lenses.
