| − | The '''[[Olympus µ|Olympus Stylus]]''' or '''Olympus µ[mju:]''', known as the '''Epic''' in North America, is an obvious progression in the Olympus 35mm, P&S family when you look at it in the context of the 35 RF and XA families. When launched it was the camera to own.<!-- Huh? --> The original and smallest mju came with a fixed, 35mm focal length lens and a fast f3.5 aperture. The Mju II gained a faster f2.8 lens and selectable, spot light metering. Later it received a slight face lift but it is still the same camera underneath.

| − | Quickly, the Stylus gained bulk and lost speed with the addition of zoom lenses but it continue(s/d) <!-- ??? --> to be a best seller for Olympus. The Epic II is still available, although in a slightly different case than the orginal, and is something of an unsung, cult-ish, <!-- How the hell can it be "unsung" AND "cultish"? --> pocket camera among photogs. It is hard to live up to the hype <!-- What "hype"? --> that developed about this camera but the mju tries its solid, best.<!-- Huh? --> As long as your expectations aren't overblown when you pick up this camera, and you use some knowledge and skill when using it (just because it's a P&S doesn't mean you should stop thinking), <!-- What does it mean? What knowledge and skills are required? --> you shouldn't be disappointed.
