Olympus Stylus Epic (mju) I & II
The Olympus Stylus Mju, known as the Epic in N.America, is an obvious progression in the Olympus 35mm, P&S family when you look at it in the context of the 35 Rx and XA families. When launched it was the camera to own. The original and smallest mju came with a fixed, 35mm focal length lens and a fast f2.8 aperture. Quickly, the Stylus gained bulk and last speed with the addition of zoom lenses but it continue(s/d) to be a best seller for Olympus. The original Epic is still available, although in a slightly different case than the orginal, and is something of an unsung, cult-ish, pocket camera among photogs. It is hard to live up to the hype and runors that developed about this camera but the mju tries its best. 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), you shouldn't be disappointed.
