Which why I keep coming back to the Sylus Epic - Simple. Reliable. Really good quality FAST (for a P&S) fixed 35 mm lens. A true P&S. At one point I owned an Olympus IS-3, which I actually used, along with an OM4, on my Somalia trek. It is a really good all in one SLR with, among other features, very accurate spot metering.Very sharp lens...but..the lens is something like 4.5 to 5.6...which is why I got rid of it eventually. Granted, if someone is going to use flash everytime it's not noon on a bright day - what the heck.. B.
