Olympus Stylus Epic DLX 35mm Film Camera

Before I bought my huge mamba-jamba Olympus, I had this little compact Stylus Epic. It was lightweight, inexpensive, easy to use, and, as an added bonus, took nice pictures. No zoom meant that I had to use my legs to get in closer for the close-up shots, which could be a hassle at times, but it really didn't bother me much. There are no added features, I would not classify this camera as being 'fancy,' but sometimes simple is better.

We have all been there: standing in front of some National Monument, trying to teach some unsuspecting tourist how to operate a Zoom Power 9218639. You will never have this problem with the Olympus Stylus Epic. Point and shoot. Automatic flash, automatic focus, automatic rewind.

I have since passed on this camera to my younger sister, and have moved on to bigger and more complicated things. This camera was faithfully in my purse for four years, and I never had problem number one. Sometimes I almost wish I had not retired it--especially when I am trying to show poor Bob how to pop up the flash, find the right setting, and focus the camera while I am being screamed at to let someone else have a turn in front of good ole Abe.
