Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 115 Deluxe 35mm camera w/ case (serial 3118245)
The Olympus Infinity Stylus Epic Zoom 115 Deluxe is a high quality 35mm point-and-shoot camera from the early 2000s. Here's how the camera was described in Olympus' 2004 catalog:
"No matter what the forecast, the all-weather Stylus Epic Zoom 115 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."
The 'Deluxe' designation means this camera adds gold coloured accents, a panorama mode, and a handy feature called the Visual Confirmation Finder. Here's how the last feature was described by the company:"Have you ever been unsure whether you took a picture or not? You saw a great photo opportunity, thought you pressed down on the shutter button, but wasn't really sure if you did or not. Well worry no more. Olympus' exclusive Visual Confirmation Finder (VF) momentarily darkens the lens (as seen through the viewfinder) once the shutter button is pressed, clearly indicating to you that your photo was taken so you'll know you got the shot you wanted when you wanted it."
This camera requires a CR123 battery (optional).
Condition notes
We tested this camera with film and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed photos. All functions are working correctly and the camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos). It was treated very carefully by original owner and showed no signs of light leaks that are common with Olympus Stylus Epic series camera that were carelessly stored. The original Olympus case is included.
