Editorial Reviews:

Just a decade ago the revolutionary Stylus camera burst on the scene, receiving praise for its ease of use, stylish and compact design and high-quality optical performance. Now after a record-breaking 18 million units sold worldwide, the Stylus series is welcoming into the world its most powerful and full-featured model yet, the Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD.Housed in an ultra-compact and sleekly-designed body, the Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD packs a powerful - the most powerful and longest zoom lens in the Stylus family - 4.5x zoom lens with 170mm telephoto capability to make distant subjects seem close enough to touch. An Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass lens element is also included for the first time ever in a Stylus model to reduce color aberration along with two aspherical lens elements to help provide crisp, high-contrast images. Further innovation comes via the Advanced Combination autofocus system that automatically switches between active and passive modes to deliver precise, accurate focus. These new elements, together with the "staple" features of the Stylus family - all-weather construction, fully automatic operation, 12-second electronic self-timer - make the Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD a very worthy heir to the Stylus family throne. Advanced features include diopter correction adjusts for individual vision requirements, and quartz date that offers convenient date/time imprinting.

Summary: My Favorite Camera
Comment: In case someone is still looking for a non-digital camera, this is the one to get! The zoom is great (170), the photos turn out with crisp colors, and it's easy to use with very simple buttons. There are basically 6 "buttons" for choices. One button controls flash (none, flash only, red eye), another controls the zoom distace, two buttons control the date stamp (none and other varieties), one controls the self timer, and the last one takes the photos! That's it! It loads film automatically with an LED screen that tells you if you are successful or not. LED screen tells you the date/time, number of photos taken, and flash choices, if any, that you make.
The only drawback is the weight, especially compared to the small digital cameras out there, but it needs to be heavier to support the zoom lens that comes out. I've had this camera for over 10 years and never had a problem.

Summary: Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD 35mm camera
Comment: I ordered this camera used a year ago through Amazon to try it out. However, the used camera always gave me trouble. The zoom would not work with the autofocus or the flash and when putting in a new roll of film it often went right to rewind and I lost a roll of film. But I did like the quality of pictures the camera produced and the ease of operation. I have been very pleased with this new camera. Everything works and I got my first roll of developed pictures back and was very pleased with the quality.

Summary: Good camera for the price
Comment: I had an Olympus Accura for seven years and loved it so when it crashed I wanted another Olympus. I've only had this one for a few weeks, am still getting used to it. It's different than the other Olympus in that it doesn't take AA batteries and you have to hold it differently because of the flash and because it slides open whereas the other one opened when you pushed the button on top. That's the only problem I've had so far -- a couple of times I inadvertently shut it off by holding it wrong. I was pleased with the first roll of film I took with this camera -- only one blurred shot, and a nice close-up of a rose. Sometimes to get a close photo you need to use the zoom instead of just getting close. It always takes me awhile to get used to new stuff, but I think once I learn to use this camera I'll like it as much as the other. The zoom is cool and easy to use. Everyone says go digital, but with digital you lose the element of surprise and imperfection and that's what makes photography interesting. Plus all the girls see their picture and say, Ooh, I don't look good in that one, delete it! With this camera you can't delete so you don't end up tossing pictures that someone will like when they're old and gray and didn't recognize how good they looked at 23. I give this four stars -- I can't give it five stars because I haven't mastered it yet.
