Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 QD CG Camera

Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 Stylish point-and-shoot convenience and a compact, lightweight silvery design distinguish the Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 QD 35mm camera from the rest. With an aspherical 38 to 80 mm zoom lens and fully automatic operation, you can bring your subjects up close and into focus with the touch of a button.

This camera's other automatic operations include focus, exposure, load, and rewind with midroll rewinding possible. The protective clamshell barrier design ensures you will never have to be fumbling for your lens cap (or forgetting that it is on). The 12-second self-timer gives you time to get in the picture. Optional quartz dating can imprint the date and time on your photos for easy reference.

The Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 QD also offers a variable-mode flash so you can choose between red-eye reduction, fill-in, or flash-off mode for times when flash photography is not permitted. The camera comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.
