Olympus Stylus Epic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Olympus Stylus Epic, also know as the MJUII in other parts of the world, is a 35mm compact camera. Launched in 1996 the Olympus Stylus Epic followed a long line of prime lens budget priced, consumer level, point and shoot cameras from Olympus that have tended to appeal to enthusiasts and professionals who want a camera small enough to fit in a pocket.

The Epic has a Fixed 35mm F2.8 lens, and can focus down to 14 inches. It has a spot meter, red eye reduction and will automatically add fill in flash in ambient light to correct Whitebalance.

Despite praise for its lens and size unlike some of its predecessors like the Olympus XA it is often criticized for lack of control which is often desired by enthusiasts.
