In 2004, during one of my many film-digital-film waffle sessions, I picked up an old Stylus Epic for use as my “every day carry” camera.

Many of the cameras I buy for specific reasons turn out to have been wishful thinking. Not so the Epic. I still carry it in my jacket pocket every day. Most of the lettering is worn off, but it still works great. And it’s still the easiest and fastest pocket camera I’ve every used. It has a very nice lens and would be quite cheap to replace. I see no reason I won’t be carrying one of these indefinitely.
