Stylus 115 has a 38-115 zoom lens. The Epic has a fixed 35mm focal length
lens, but it is an f2.8 and considered quite sharp. I think it is an
evolution of the XA lens in principle, though a completely different design.

The original Stylus has a 35mm f3.5 lens if I recall. The Stylus Epic 35mm
f2.8 is reportedly sharper than that lens, though my pictures with each
model appear very similar (they are just quickie snapshots in bright light,
not intended to explore the limits of either lens).

Can't go wrong here... the Stylus Epic lens is probably close to the quality
of the Zuiko 35/2.8 you would mount on these bodies... its a -great-
carry-it-around-everywhere-without-noticing-it camera.
