About the product.
The Olympus mju II Zoom 80 — the Stylus Epic Zoom 80 in North America — takes the design that made the mju line a cult object and gives it a zoom. The lens hides behind a sliding clamshell cover, so there is no cap to lose and nothing to snag on a pocket lining; the shell is weather-resistant, so a shower is not a problem; and at 185g you genuinely stop noticing it is there. It is the camera to keep in a jacket for a year and be glad of a hundred times.

In short
One point of clarification, because the names are confusingly close. This is the mju II Zoom 80, the zoom model. It is a different camera from the mju II / Stylus Epic, which is the prime-lens version with a 35mm f/2.8. The Zoom 80 gives you a 38-80mm range instead, at f/4.5-8.9 — more framing flexibility, a slower lens. Worth knowing which one you are buying.
Clean, fully working, with a bright clear LCD and no quirks to work around — the straightforward pick of our current mju II Zoom 80s. Comes with its pouch and strap.
