Full Review
I have had several years of excellent results from modestly priced Olympus 35 mm cameras. The photos have been clear, the color consistently bright and well-defined, and images focused and well-defined and detailed. However, I needed a new one this last month. I was looking for one with strong magnifying zoom and clearly imprinted date/time info. I ordered an Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170 35 MM camera through the Amazon.com Marketplace for $130. My first roll of film produced wonderful photos, repeated the bright, clear, focused, images I have previously experienced. I am especially pleased with the date/time imprint. It is clear, has an apostrophe before the year to differentiate it from the day and month, and is legible without obliterating the photo.
The camera is thicker than the lower strength zoom-lens cameras.
I am glad to recommend this camera.
