I have long argued - prior to my association with Olympus - that the
Stylus Epic is THE pocket camera, when you consider image quality,
features, and price - For under $100 it will hold it's own against all
the Zeica lensed beauties... ;-) IF you can't find an XA, which has the
advantage of coupled rangefinder focusing the the best of Olympus
design.

No, sad to say, but the Stylus Epic - fixed 35mm f2.8 lens, auto 
focus and programmed exposure - is still made and runs a close second.
