I'm so glad my mom had one of these in the 2000s to pass down to me so I don't have to buy into the hype train. I always figured it was worth like ten dollars until I saw one for sale.

[@owenandrew8108]

same story for me. i have a stylus epic zoom 80 (really rolls off the tongue huh) that i literally found in a cabinet and i when i looked it up and saw it was selling for >$50 i was shocked. ot has a light leak when you zoom in but other than that its a solid little camera.

[@elodiepoirier6058]

same story for me! bless moms

[@Mentorrailfanning]

For a good solid month there was one of these at the local goodwill and I didn’t buy it then I saw a sold listing went back and it was gone

[@Exxcalibur186]

I appreciated the Nishika nod, ridiculous prices for those things.

[@piperez81]

Especially considering their build is no better than something you'd find at Toys R Us

[@Leo9ine]

For anyone looking to get an auto 35mm like this or something like an AE-1 for cheap - Look at the 1990s Canon EF mount plastic-fantastic cameras. Rebel XS, 500N, Rebel 2000, etc. I have an XS. It shoots the same good film stocks, takes all the good EF lenses (even those white lenses), has fast AF, all the auto modes of a digital camera, built in flash, quick loading, and a motorized winder. Cost $16 USD shipped, does everything a maxed out Canon F1 will do, takes modern batteries, weighs nothing, and doesn't need tons of maintenance yet. Cheap and light means you'll take it outside and use it. At the end of the day a camera body is just a dark box, all the quality is in the film and the lens, so don't overpay for one. It feels like the best kept secret, but people deserve to know. Get one before the rest of us hipsters drive the prices to the moon. (Also it would be awesome to see you review one!)

[@pdtech4524]

Shhhhhh!! I paid just £20 for my Canon EOS 500n, it's mint, like new, these were £300-£400 back in the day, nobody wants them now!! I feature it in my latest short video. it even came with a canon 28-80mm ultrasonic zoom lens.👍 I have a few mju models, you can pick them up cheap now and again. The reason they get hyped and have gained 'cult' status and gained value, is there shape, design and ease of use, plus impressive results. The are many people wanting them so market forces dictate prices, they are out there in good numbers, mostly stuck in drawers unused..... Anyone looking for one, just ask older family members who might still have one they don't want or use anymore.

[@marike1100]

Maybe, as long as the actual plastic lens mount doesn’t bother you. The secret’s already out on the better EOS bodies like the Elan 7 or EOS3, two superb cameras that are already pretty pricey. Same for the Nikon equivalent N80 or F100. If you don’t mind or prefer manual focus all metal mechanical cameras like the Nikon FM and FE are incredibly good, but not thrift store cheap.

[@pdtech4524]

​@@marike1100 At the low prices these 'plastic fantastic' EOS models go for, if you ever get any issues you can just buy another! To be honest a plastic lens mount doesn't bother me one bit, if it's durable enough to last this long, it's a none issue.😊

[@jeetgan4671]

Thank you for pronouncing the name correctly. The symbol that accompanies the name is the 12th Greek alphabet (Mu/Miu/Mju) and is always pronounced as "mew" (like in music). I am not quite sure why so many people get confused about this ; for example , no one pronounces an Omega watch ( Omega is the 24th Greek alphabet) by breaking it up into O-M-E-G-A, whereas with this Olympus camera people often break it up to M-J-U or even "Miju".

[@plantlifeplantlife]

Great video! A note on the M.J.U / mju pronunciation, the μ symbol next to the [mju-1] on the japanese / european versions is the greek letter "mu" which is used to denote "micro-" in the decimal system, basically between milli- and nano-. I always pronounce it mew.

[@adamholod2103]

Always great stuff! Your work is much appreciated. The Olympus Infinity(AF-1) and Infinity II (AF-1 Super, adds flash control) share the lens of the stylus epic and can be found for a fraction of the price. If you really want to flex the 2.8 aperture but not break the bank.

[@billtingle1569]

Great video, I just went to the flea market and found the camera your talking about and a Olympus pen 3 i didn't know anything about cameras but they just stood out to me in the pack and after some research and your video, best 9 bucks I've spent in a while

[@madbug1965]

This was my go to camera back in the 90's for attending Comic Con. I just gave this to my son who is taking photography classes in high school.

[@monsterthing2]

I got an Olympus Stylus Zoom for about $30 and I love it as just a "documenting life" camera!

[@petehatzakos]

I got this camera new back in 1994. This was the only camera I had back then cause I was not making much $$$ back then. I had seen all the "defects" you mentioned, 99% of the time this camera gave me great photos. Sometimes the autofocus was "off" but as long as you remember you remembered the focus thingy ( ) was in the middle it gave you great photos. I'm seeing the ebay prices and while its a good camera, I don't think it's worth what people are paying today.

[@jonalinereoma1153]

The enlightenment that I need! Nice cam but youre defn right, i should spend my money for a much more important stuff

[@yolkycoin0801]

For a starter camera if you can find a good Nikon fe2 or fm2 I’d highly recommend that. I found my late great uncle’s fe2 in my grandpa’s attic and it works perfectly. Those cameras are literal tanks

[@NoviSavvy]

These days for a price of one mint condition MJU II you can really buy a nice Nikon F100 with a couple of tiny scratches, a couple of averagely used screwdriver lenses and a roll of Portra 400. Well that brings some weird sense to me. I've chosen the first option and I'm so happy 🙂

[@mistermars1479]

I got a MJU 1... nearly ten years ago as a gift with some other analogcameras and stuff :) So I am using it since I re-entered the 35mm-Analoggame in early 2020! Love it and I hope it wil last some time :)

[@liammm7036]

Wow, I had no idea they were this valuable. I found an Olympus Infinity Zoom in an antique store a few months back for $15 - and after a quick repair and a new battery, it's rock solid. Easily my favorite portable film camera.

[@Giggityxxgooo]

The zooms aren't quite as valuable, the lens quality isn't the same as the fixed one (just a touch poorer!) but because it's so easy to confuse the two, their prices have also gone drastically up. That being said, I got lucky at a thrift store with a zoom version for 10 dollars, and love it, especially for that price.

[@liammm7036]

@@Giggityxxgooo totally agreed- I can tell the lens on mine is a *touch* soft, but I kinda prefer having the 28-70 zoom for more shot composition options :) Definitely keeping an eye out for the fixed power ones though!

The olympus Mju or syile is for me the most beautifull poket camera. The compact ergonomic was way over the other models... but my dad pick the pentax zoom 105 for the long range.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

I happened to end up with one of the Stylus medium zooms and I tested it out. Pics were -- OK, not fantastic in my opinion. But the way that I held the camera had one of my fingers actually blocking the pop-up flash from popping up. I have fallen in love with the Nikon One Touch 100 -- not a zoom, but great, sharp lens, easy to hold/use, no vignetting -- really love these as point-and-shoots -- and you can find these for $15 or less....

[@H2A2I00]

With any point and shoot I always advised people that you should be comfortable with just burning that cash if the camera starts to fail. I have had two cameras go bust on me and it really makes me think carefully of what camera I am picking up. For the price, I wouldn't pick it up but to each their own

[@wotakutrash]

Always love hearing people talk about these Olympus cameras rather then the overhyped beasts like the T2. Lucked into acquiring a few old Olympus point and shoots from my father last year when he was cleaning up his camera collection. Love carrying one in my car and one in my backpack whenever I'm outside. As far as point and shoots go, I understand why they command the price that they do; but if I had to buy a point and shoot, I'd honestly probably use the money on a toy point and shoot instead then whatever was left over on bulk rolls for it. All of the little perfections in these cameras take away from some of the character of shooting on film in 35mm in my opinion. If I wanted my shots to look perfect, I'd rather use my Leica or my Pentax 6x7. That said they're always a great option for when I'm out with my friends or when I see something in traffic, but every time I scan these images I just wonder how different my approach would be with my other cameras for a similar sharpness or quality. At the end of the day, if anyone is convinced they need a point and shoot, I will ride and die for these cameras. Definitely worth every penny if that's the style you're shooting for.

[@aardXcro]

I love the little mju. If anyone is still wondering, It comes from the greek letter µ, pronounced... well, mju. Referring to the fact that it was a "micro" camera. First camera I ever bought, back in the late 90s when I was barely a tween. Still have it, still love it, still can't believe people are paying 3 times the price that it was when it was new. And yes, it does take nice photos, but mine has a very nervous front slider that sometimes doesn't register so the camera goes on strike and won't work. But I wouldn't part with it for any money out there...

[@dustysprockets1505]

Got myself a nikon L35af and I love wandering around with it and not having to worry about babying it, since its an 80's brick Point n shoots are fun, but prices can get hectic

[@NandR]

I picked up a Stylus for $5. I sold it on eBay auction and instead I use my Minolta Freedom Zoom as my quick shot camera. Paid $3 at the flea market and the film date goes to 2021!

[@shaunbrowne3963]

I found a Pentax 115 point and shoot camera, at a garage sale. It’s an excellent camera, batteries are easily available, and a stablemate to my other film cameras, including an Olympus Trip 35, bought for $2.00, CDN

[@monojokisan1945]

I have found olympus trip af 51 and an old zenith in my parents drawer few days ago, my mom got me a film and said i can use the Olympus if i want. As a kid raised by two foto people i kind of grew up looking through lenses so this was an exelent offer. I have 32 photos left so i hope i can document some good memmories

[@vincentvincent5979]

If you're looking for a good alternative for a fraction of the cost I recommend the Canon Sure Shot Max as it has an absolutely killer lens and feels really nice to use. Sure it's bigger than a Stylus, but not too big or boxy to the point where it becomes unpocketable or uncomfortable to use like a lot of P&S can be.

[@RhettAnderson]

I bought mine new and took a lot of photos of my kids in the 90s. I thought it was the perfect camera to take with my when an SLR seemed like a pain.

[@markbernhardt6281]

I love mine, I took it to the north pole, acted like a champ every time back in the day. Going to take it out again soon.

[@robertknight4672]

I just found a stylus for $7 and a thrift store and they haven't had any cameras for quite some time. I also have the Stylus Epic Zoom 80. As neat as these tiny Olympus cameras are, I actually find the larger boxier point & shoots a little more comfortable to hold.

[@BillyHopscotch]

Dan Bassini says he went through at least four of these and never paid more than $10 thanks to thrifting. It's the way to go for these cameras.

[@sonalisheelam6399]

i found one of these in my grandpas basement. along with a box of expired kodak film. i love it so much

[@nofacedetected]

I got one for five bucks at a garage sale! Definately worth that. Though I might prefer my canon z135 that I got new in box for 99 cents.... My stylus also back focuses sometimes. It's usually with the flash. I've dropped mine way more than I'd like to drop an slr, and all that's happened is that i need to put some tape on a corner where the seals are cracked, no big deal.

[@Gypples]

Huh, I had one of these on a shelf from when I was younger. I think I just played with the door back then. Glad it still works, lol

[@aperturecollect]

This is one that I found highly addictive to shoot. I like to shoot it more than the 2.8 Epic even though the Epic produces better quality photos usually. Something about that shutter button......

[@srenhaandbk7904]

I am so glad that the slides arrived safely, I was very worried. I am through the roof with happiness about what you said, made my heart melt. On the topic of projectors, when I found this, there was a projector to go along with it (I think). It was beyond all repair, since it was made of some sort of thin, rusty sheet metal. Parts were missing, but it might've been a live flame that illuminated the slides. They were at least definitely supposed to be viewed on a wall, no doubt. I was debating whether I should include translations of the individual titles, but decided against it lol They are, btw., not history based, as these pictures would have been new at the time, but rather geography based, to show students what things and landmarks looked like in the Americas. Again, thank you so so much. Please, if there is anything you want to know, I will supply you with everything I know about the details about these.

I can remember seeing glass slide pics but it was that long ago I can't even remember when it was. Maybe somewhere between 580 and 325BC :) :P They were just random pics and there wasn't that many of them. They were about the same size as the ones you had there. Now, coming a bit further forward through time, I picked up a little Panasonic point n shoot awhile back, a C-355EF. Got it for around $65 and it works a charm. I'm very happy with it :) Like you said, there are hundreds of the things on eBay and Etsy and any one of them would be good as a first film camera for just having fun with. You don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a Mju or anything like that, just because some celebrity has one and you want to follow the trend.

[@theMansalad]

Hey, I was wondering if you have come across a Canon AS-6? It’s kind of like the WP-1, but can be pushed a little more than the WP-1.

[@steviewonderisnotblind5833]

It's worth considering that the type of people who buy $300 P&S cameras are mostly beginners in film photography who are used to the thousand dollar pricetags that digital cameras fetch. Under those terms the price of an mju isn't all that high.

[@AnalogResurgence]

I think there’s too much of beginners feeling that they have to drop a lot of money just to even begin shooting film because of a community that is largely dominated by people showing off expensive gear that most people don’t need.

How does this compare to a Canon Sure Shot 60 zoom.

I shot some last month and the results were great.

This the first video I've seen with someone having auto focus issues ,I love mine was my dad's and still works give amazing sharp results but at least 5 odd shots out of a roll come out of focus ,shot 2 rolls on it so far ,is it my fault or the camera

[@vincentvincent5979]

I'm glad that I paid £30 for my Mju ii/Stylus Epic to be honest because as much as it is a brilliant camera and an absolute joy to use it's nowhere near worth the £300/£400 price tag I've seen it going for on eBay UK at the moment. It's perceived value is all based on the hype and that it's seen as an alternative to the Contax T, and there are so many cameras that can take amazing photos of the same (if not better) quality for far less.

[@spencerbacon]

I agree…there are cheaper point and shoots that get the job done…the contax T2 for example!

[@dankspangle]

I found a Mju 2 in a charity shop for a couple of quid. Never really got on with it. I didn't think the pics were all that, and the didn't like the design. If I want to use an Olympus point and shoot I've got an AF-1s and an AF-10. I prefer both of those. They take great pics and fit more happily in my hand being a bit bigger and boxier. The king of Olympus compacts is the XA, of course, but that's a different kettle of ballgames being a rangefinder. I thought I'd done pretty well when I sold the Mju 2 for £80... Oh well.

[@Verdoux007]

The mju's are fine cameras for documenting everyday stuff around you, but so are most point & shoot cameras that cost way less. If you're thinking of getting one for street shooting, then don't. They're slow, loud and you're probably going to forget to disable the flash sometimes.

Correction on the film loading -- place the tip of the film leader to the orange stripe inside the right (take-up) side of the back, make sure the film is laying flat across the back of the camera, then close the back cover. DO NOT push the film into the camera past the orange stripe! Granted, the instruction booklet is rather poor (images/drawings, "X" for "Don't do this" instead of explanations, etc.), but you can download a copy for free from numerous sources.

What do you think about the Polaroid Go, do you think it was a necessary to introduce a new format? I felt is was a move to a broader audience rather than the niche creative audience.

[@AnalogResurgence]

I think it’s fine but I’m not that interested. Seeing as I’m not American I have to order film from the site that ends up being somewhat inconvenient when wanting to use a fun small format. Shipping and the exchange rate just isn’t motivating and I’m more likely to spend the money on something a little more special like SX-70 film. Instax stills wins for me in terms of price and convenience for how easy the film is to just go buy.

The XA is still one of my favorites! If only the ISO setting went higher than 800. The XA3 will go up to 1600 but it loses the rangefinder in favor of a simpler zone-focus lever like on a Lomo LC-A. But I'd still love one of those as well.

I watched this the other day and today I found one for $10 at a flea market.

I have a strange relationship with compact cameras, I have a few but rarely use them… and the ones I have are good ones, XA, XA2, Fuji tiara and Nikon 35ti

How do you process APS?

[@daviehudson4270]

@@Zetaphotography I don’t have any aps but there are labs that still do it

350 Deutsch Mark..that was pretty expensive back then

I'm with you: who needs to spend big money on a point and shoot? But I wonder if it's not a good distraction for collectors of better cameras. When Kendal Jenner wantabes shell out hundreds for uninteresting p&s cameras, they are passing up other thrift shop treasures that hopefully means an affordable, interesting used market for the rest of us.

Any idea why these cameras got so hyped up? Did someone buy a bunch of old stock of them and bribe some film youtubers? ;P

[@lysolboss]

[@NoviSavvy]
