Olympus Stylus Epic (mju) I & II
The Olympus Stylus or Olympus µ[mju:], known as the Epic in North America, is an obvious progression from the Olympus RF and XA families. It was popular when launched. The original and smallest Mju comes with a fixed, 35mm focal length lens and a fast f3.5 aperture. The later Mju II has a faster f2.8 lens and selectable, spot light metering. Later it received a slight facelift but it is still the same camera underneath.
The Stylus quickly gained bulk and lost speed with the addition of zoom lenses but it continued to be a best seller for Olympus. The Epic II is still (November 2004) available, although in a slightly different case from that of the original.
