Product Description

No matter what the forecast, the all-weather Stylus Epic Zoom 115QD packs an impressive punch with its 38 - 115mm 3x zoom lens with a real image viewfinder that's 70% brighter than the original Stylus Zoom 115, providing outstanding picture clarity and sharpness. For truer color reproduction, the camera sports Olympus' exclusive auto color-balancing flash ensuring natural color even when shooting in artificial/fluorescent lighting situations.

Amazon.com Product Description

Though slimmer than its predecessor (the Stylus Zoom 115), the Stylus Epic Zoom 115 QD still maintains the same high level of quality and performance. Its 38-115mm, 3x zoom lens lets you zoom in for candid close-ups and zoom out for large scenes or group photos. The bright, real-image viewfinder makes your shots easy to frame and compose.

The Stylus Epic Zoom 115 QD uses Olympus's exclusive auto color-balancing flash to give your images truer, more natural color, even when shooting in artificial or fluorescent lighting conditions. Its built-in flash has several mode options, including auto flash, fill-in, off, red-eye reduction, night scene, and variable power flash. When these high-quality optics are combined with the flexible flash system, you get outstanding picture color, clarity, and sharpness.

At just under eight ounces, and constructed of weatherproof material, you can take this camera with you anywhere without worrying about rain or splash damage. The rear LCD panel makes function control more convenient and easier to read, while the dioptric can be adjusted to meet the needs of your individual eyesight. You can even print the date on your images with the date feature.

An Excellent Camera with a Great Telephoto Lens.......2003-08-03

The camera is compact, solid but light, and very easy to use. The images are very good to excellent. All the features seems to work just fine. The telephoto lens really brings images in. Its relative resistance to water-spray helps with boating photography. So far it has worked without a hitch. Though I own a digital camera, I believe that a film camera like this is still preferable for travel or for taking many pictures in a short time. All you have to do is plop a new film in and keep going, and then drop it off for development and you will end up with photos that will not fade out in a few years. I highly recommend this Olympus for an uncomplicated way of handling photography in an economical fashion and ending up with excellent results.

Very nice camera, BUT...........2003-02-17

We have bought six Olympus's for our large family of grown children. They are easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and compact. But, they have a major flaw. On three of the six cameras we have bought, the lins cover has broken and this prevents the camera from operating. The authorized service places in Houston Texas say they can not get the parts to repair this product deficiency.

Camera Broke on First Use.......2002-09-11

The lens cover broke on the first use!!! I will never buy an Olympus Product again!

Great photos, light weight.......2002-07-23

I bought this camera because of the light weight, the date/time stamp and the zoom capability, and I am very please with the purchase. We have two young kids and use the 115QD to take a lot of photos. The photo quality is very good (may be close to the Canon AE1 SLR that I used to use) under a lot of different lighting enviornments. So far we have no complaint about it, it is reliable and take great pictures.

Not Recommended.......2002-06-26

I loved the features on this camera when I first purchased it. However, on only the 2nd or 3rd roll of film, I noticed the pictures (particulary the zoom pictures) were fuzzy. Olympus diagnosed the problem as the lens being off center. Now only 2 years later, the lens cover has broken off and the motor is not working properly. I am now looking for a new camera, but definately not an Olympus.

Product Description

The Stylus Epic Zoom 115 QD joins the Stylus family, the world's best-selling point-and-shoot camera series ever. This 35mm model is a slimmer version of its predecessor, the Stylus Zoom 115, and continues to pack an impressive punch with its 38,115mm 3x zoom lens with a real image viewfinder that's 70% brighter than the original, providing outstanding picture clarity and sharpness. For truer color reproduction, the camera sports Olympus's exclusive auto color-balancing flash that ensures natural color even when shooting in artificial/fluorescent lighting situations. These features, together with the camera's all-weather construction, help make the Stylus Epic Zoom 115 QD one of the most convenient and sophisticated quartz date models available.

Amazon.com Product Description

The compact Olympus Stylus Zoom 115 QD camera has a precisionautofocusing system that ensures sharp, clear pictures. Its fullyautomatic operations include autofocus, auto exposure, film loading,and film rewind. The 3x, 38-115mm zoom lens lets the photographershoot everything from wide-angle views to telephoto close-ups.

The variable-power flash provides soft illumination, giving your subject natural skin tones even at close range. When your subject is backlit or under artificial light, the color-balancing flash fires automatically. In night portrait mode, the camera automatically lowers the shutter speed to ensure that both foreground and background are properly lit for night scenes. If your subject is in both bright light and dark shadow, the fill flash softens the sharp contrasts, giving the scene a more natural look. However, in those cases when flash photography is not permitted, or if you want to capture that "moody" special effect using just available light, a flash-off mode is also included.

5 Years & Counting.......2005-05-07

I've had this camera for 5 years. I had borrowed my Mom's smaller non-zoom Stylus for a trip to Italy (so I wouldn't have to lug my big ol' SLR with me), and got such great results with it that she gave me this one for my birthday. It's everything that hers is, and it has the zoom. I love it. I've taken it everywhere with me, including several more trips to Europe, and it has always performed flawlessly. And I get better percentages of successful shots with it than I ever got with the SLR. I heartily recommend this camera.

Terrible Close-ups & Flash system.......2003-03-09

I bought it to take pix at my kid's birth. Every single close-up came out blurry. 100% of them. I also missed several pictures because of the "flash 50 times before taking the darn picture" system. Like most of the new point and shoot autofocus (supposedly) cameras, this one has cumbersome unnecessary technology. What I wouldn't give to have my 1989 Canon SureShot Zoom S back. I didn't know how good I had it.

Great Pictures.......2002-09-30

The Olympus is a great camera. It has been on many trips with me and not failed me yet. The camera has experienced some mild damage (broken lens cover, crack in viewfinder), and still takes wonderful photos. The clarity and color are wonderful. The available remote control (recommended) allows the person behind the camera to be in the picture!

Excellent camera.......2002-08-06

I bought a refurb. The camera has all the features including auto load, rewind. It uses Lithium batteries and I am now shooting the 5'th roll without any problems. The picture quality is very good. The zoom is not very effective at long distances and needs careful handling to prevent shake for good pics. The flash is effective under normal distances of 10-12 feet. The camera is robust and all weather as stated. A very good deal for its price.
Buy by all means.

Great pix.......2002-06-22

I love this camera! Just got my two rolls back...easy to use...
easy to carry....great zoom....can't say enough!

Pictures outside are beautiful...even took some pix inside without the flash of an entertainer (where camera's were not allowed)...and they came out perfect!

Product Description

Through the years Olympus has contributed many creative and exciting products and put them in the hands of consumers around the globe. And in doing so, Olympus has been the pioneer behind a number of technological and design innovations that enable people to see and hear the world in ways never before thought possible. Olympus. Nothing's impossible.

Amazon.com

Olympus has long been a leader in 35mm point-and-shoot cameras, and the Stylus Zoom 115 DLX is one reason why. Encased in the distinctive, clamshell design favored by Olympus, the Stylus Zoom 115 offers a 38-115mm zoom lens, six flash modes, spot focus, a panorama setting, and a host of other features that make it the toast of mid-range zoom cameras.

To turn the camera on, simply slide open the clamshell lens cover--out pops the lens and flash unit and you're ready to shoot. Control the zoom lens using a small rocker switch that's conveniently located on the top right of the camera next to the large shutter release button. The Stylus Zoom 115 has an autofocus system that can take in subjects as close as 2 feet. The camera's focus-lock feature lets you selectively focus on subjects that are outside the camera's autofocus range. Flash modes include red-eye reduction and night flash; the flash range extends to 16 feet. The camera includes a self-timer, date-time stamp, and a diopter viewfinder adjustment designed for farsighted and nearsighted users. On top of all this, the Stylus Zoom 115 is weatherproof. Although you can't take it scuba diving, the camera will survive accidental splashes and sprays. --Harry C. Edwards

Amazon.com Product Description

A dazzling new addition to the Stylus line. Not only does it feature the elegant body lines and full-auto convenience of its best-selling predecessors, it also expands the frontiers of photographic performance with a powerful new 38-115mm zoom lens.

Takes great pictures! I love this camera........2001-05-21

This is the best pocket camera I have ever owned. It is easy to use and takes great pictures. Just slide back the lens cover and it's ready to shoot. Almost idiot-proof!

Froze up at the worst possible moment.......2000-02-06

I purchased this camera in August of 98, and moved overseas. In January '99, my eighty-one year old father was riding on the back of an elephant in Thailand. When I went to take a shot of this once in a lifetime event, the camera lens froze in the out position and would not take a picture. A moment lost forever! Attempts to get the camera fixed overseas were futile, as they would not honor a US warranty. I sent several emails to Olympus asking some direction but received no response.

Also, soon after we purchased this model, my husband and I stood side by side taking the same picture with this and a Samsung comparable model, both on automatic, and found the resulting pictures to have no noticeable difference. Due to the lack of email response by Olympus, I would hesitate to buy another, as this one was money down the drain.

If you buy only one camera, this is the best.......1999-08-10

I am an advanced photographer, worked at it professionally, and posess 8 high-end cameras with boxes of lenses, accessories, etc.

I decided to try the Olympus as a "vacation camera" rather than hauling around camera cases stuffed with equipment. This jewel fits in a shirt pocket.

We headed for the Pacific Northwest. As a test, I decided to leave all the settings on the camera in the default full automatic mode in order to test its capability in dealing with varying photographic situations.

I was amazed. It handled backlight, sidelight, frontlight, full sun, overcast, fog, scenics, closeups, portraits, and anything else I could dream up and produced excellent prints of them all.

Don't worry about tiny buttons; you will rarely use them. The important ones are full size buttons.

I used only Kodak 800 MAX film with Kodak Premium processing, and could not be more pleased. The Olympus is the best "point and shoot" camera I have used.

Not stainless steel, just looks it........1999-07-13

The camera does most things well, but it isn't "stainless steel." Nearly all Olympus cameras are plastic bodied, and have finishes meant to resemble metal, leather, lacquered wood, etc. Other manufacturers offer metal-bodied cameras at substantially higher prices. Aside from that, the camera will be most useful for people who can adjust to small buttons and remember to cycle through the flash modes to select the right flash for the setting. It has good optics for a zoom-lens camera. Use a 400- or 800-speed film, and you'll get fine results.

Exceptional Cameras.......1998-12-18

My wife and I began using the stylus series years ago - starting with the single focus. Since then, we have collected several, including two zooms. They are so good, we find ourselves leaving our full-size 35mm cameras at home. My hobby is birddog training, and you cannot beat them for ease of operation, picture quality, and dependability in the field. I have had the clamshell frozen shut from freeding rain, warmed it in my hand, and then snapped pictures that turned out exceptional. As the editor of "The Flushing Whip," the official publication of the National Red Setter Field Trial Association (NRSFTA), the majority of the pictures published are taken by our Olympus Stylus cameras. Get your hands on one and you will not be disappointed. Happy Hunting!

This is a great way to store data, music, etc. The writable surface makes it easy to write on and there is about 703 MB on each disk just in case you have data that is a little over 700 MB. The disks work great for me and can play in most stereo systems.
