Camera arrived in great shape, looked brand new
Camera arrived in great shape, looked brand new. Haven’t delevoped any film yet, but based on the quality of flash and everything else considered I expect great quality photos. Highly recommend.

Good camera for the price
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.

Camera didn’t work
My camera didn’t work when I ordered it. My friend got the same one and hers works fine but mine doesn’t extend the lease and I can’t take any pictures at all.I tried reaching out to the seller and haven’t heard back. Very disappointed.

Not happy with Olympus
I hate this camera, primarily due to the useless customer support and owner's manual. The instruction manual contains 5 languages PER PAGE and has NO troubleshooting guide, among its many flaws. Customer support is pleasant enough without really doing a single thing to be helpful. The first camera I had took fuzzy pictures for inexplicable reasons, so it was exchanged for another one (same model), and this one is now not operating properly. Customer service guided me through troubleshooting my problem by telling me I must not have film loaded when I knew I did, then had me open the case, exposing the film of which I was in mid-roll. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. I will never buy another Olympus product.

I have mixed feelings on this one.
Really, I wish I could give this 3.75 stars. At three stars, I feel like I'm low-balling it.I didn't pay full price for this camera. If I had, I may not have been as happy with it. It has its flaws, that's true. When the zoom lens is extended out all the way, I have never been able to capture a non-blurry photo. I kind of expected that might be the case when I bought it and other reviewers have cautioned on this issue, so I don't really feel particularly let down by it. I always take hyper-zoomed pictures with the understanding that it might just not work out. Unfortunately, I've yet to be proven wrong.The thing that actually bothers me is the flash. It has several flash settings for different times of day. There's even an option for no flash. Sometimes though, when that option is clearly not going to be useful, it would be nice if the flash wasn't so spot-like. It doesn't diffuse over the entire frame very well, I guess you could say. I have several pictures where I can clearly tell where the flash went off as it's brighter in that part of the picture; sometimes just a tad, sometimes considerably so. Its biggest downfall is at mid-dusk when the light is too dim for no flash but is just dark enough to expose its spot-like flash problem.I offer all of that with the caveat that when it's not mid-dusk and not at the absolute end of the zoom length, it takes great pictures. Really, it does. It works peachy all day and nearly all night, save for mid-dusk. When you don't use the flash- perhaps for ambient, moody pictures- it gathers light very well and you'll get what you want.

Excellent!
I was looking for an older date camera. I love the look it gives all the photos.

Fast shipping and excellent packaging. The Leatherman tool feels very premium and sturdy.
The most potent and full-featured Stylus model yet, the Stylus Epic Zoom 170 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 included to reduce color aberration (which is very important at 170mm telephoto range) along with two aspherical lens elements to help provide crisp, high-contrast images.
Further innovation comes via the camera's Advanced Combination Autofocus System, automatically switching between active and passive modes to deliver precise, accurate focus. And let's not forget the \"staple\" features of the Stylus family - all-weather construction, fully automatic operation, 12-second electronic self-timer - that help make this (and all Stylus cameras) a great choice for your picture-taking needs.
All-Weather Construction - Special seals and coatings allow worry-free shooting in any weather.
Spot Mode - Solves tricky lighting problems by limiting exposure readings to a specific area of the frame.
Dioptric Correction - An adjustments dial allows you set viewfinder focus to suit your preference.
