I read about the two Stylus 1’s for a few years but couldn’t find one. Last Friday, KEH had one in excellent plus. It should arrive today. I’m very excited!

I just got mine two days ago in mint condition with 600 shutter counts, and only for 150€.

This was hard to find but this is a very nice little camera with great controls. I hope some day Olympus will deliver a Stylus 2 with same form factor and better sensor.

Anyway, I think if you find one in good condition for a good price, it's a little gem.

Way back I bought a Stylus1 and it turned me on to the whole Olympus series, eventually moving into Micro 4/3 and the OM-D cameras. At the time I also used and enjoyed the Oly XZ-2. For nostalgia reasons just a week ago I bought a used Stylus1s and I still like the camera. However, the images in no way compare to those from my Oly mft cameras, and images from the XZ-2 are also so much sharper than the Stylus1s. So whilst I agree that the Stylus1 was and still is a unique and very useful camera, its advantage is the whole spread of options and tricks in a quite small package, but sadly not in the sharpness of its lens. I am now looking for a mint XZ-2 as a pocket camera. But for photography rather than snaps, I will continue with my micro 4/3 cameras.

Just my 2 cents
