Olympus Stylus

I really like the results from this camera. Sharp, good color rendition, and very low distortion. The viewfinder could have been a little larger though.

I bought one of these from a Goodwill/Thrift shop recently for $2. Film is waiting to be developed. I like the close focusing ability of this camera.

FrankS did better than me, I found a Mju II for $5. Nice sharp images, though I sometimes get reflections (looks like from the lens surround) in bottom rh corner of negs. I like the camera a lot - so pocketable with very good IQ.

FrankS, this was a Goodwill find, $1.95 I think. I've got about 35 little babies (and a box full of junkers) that I've rescued from the shelves for less than $3.00 each. It depends on which side of town I'm on as to how they get priced. Some I get as low as $0.75. I got a Stylus Epic Zoom 170 the other day, and took it out for a shoot this morning. It looks like it just came out of the box.

I think that sooner or later, I'm going to settle on a few of them to keep. Then either trade the rest, or donate them to a school program.
