Olympus Stylus What is it worth?

[dave lackey]

Cannot seem to find the exact model but we gave our niece a really nice champagne color Olympus Stylus camera for Christmas in or around 2004. They have since moved to digital P&S. So what is one of these cameras worth these days if I were to buy it back before they toss it or sell at a garage sale?😕

Does it have zoom?

If it is NZ why sell it? They take amazing pictures when the focus is right. I carry one loaded with Fomapan 400 at all times just about. If you give it just a second to focus you usually get very sharp pictures.

If it is an Epic non-zoom $30-50 (Ebay dude wants like $90). Regular NZ can be had at a thrift store for $3-7 so I would sell it at $10 for a good working order. I would really just be charging for the fact I checked thrift stores enough to find a non-zoom (sometimes you spend months dry of NZ P&S).

The beauty is also how pocket-able they are with only the sliding door for a mechanical mechanism.

After all I see no P&S AF (F) in your signature.

IIRC the black Stylus Epic with simple 35mm f2.8 is "the" one to have & I don't think I've seen them for more than $35. (I've got two so the selling prices kinda stick in my head.) I believe all others go for less (i.e. different, and zoom lens models).

I bought a black mju (European version of the Stylus) with the 35/2.8, this year, for $10, and it came with a good battery.

The non epic 3.5 (non mju) is still very good if it is a NZ. I want an mju (epic) f2.8, sure. Seriously upwards of $90 on Ebay these days. I have passed up enough Nikon 35TI's for nothing at thriftstore (not knowing if they were any good at the time) to never spend $90 on a P&S.
