| mynameis_taken's Full Review: Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD 35mm Film Camera |
This Camera rocks. It beats the ever-loving tar out of most of my other cameras in one way or another. I am an art major hoping to get into photo journalism (long story, but it will work, trust me) and for over half my shoots, this is the camera I grab.
It's unobtrusive.
I have lenses for my SLRs that would make some paparazzi blush, but with this thing I can get close enough to any subject for them not to notice or care.
It's sharp.
Even in total darkness this things performs like a pro, at least as well as the Nikons I've abandoned quickly.
It's cheap.
Very very affordable, keep one in the camera bag and one in the car.
It's durable.
While Hiking in New Mexico, one of mine survived a fall from at least thirty feet onto rocks and into a creek, it only took one night of drying for it to be shooting away again like new.
Water-Resistant
Managed to take the beating of salt spray in Costa Rica. Very well done

Amount Paid (US$): 100
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Flexible Enough for Enthusiasts
