Olympus AZ-300 Superzoom 35mm Film Camera 38-105mm Zoom Black - Tested Working

Olympus AZ-300 Superzoom - 35mm Autofocus Film Camera with 38-105mm Zoom Lens

This listing is for a tested and fully working Olympus AZ-300 Superzoom 35mm film camera in black. Launched in 1988, the AZ-300 won the European Camera of the Year award and helped start the “bridge camera” style, combining the ease of a compact with the zoom range and features of a far more advanced camera. Its bold, futuristic late-80s design and camcorder-style grip make it one of the most distinctive film cameras of its era.

The camera has a versatile Olympus 38-105mm zoom lens, which works well for everything from landscapes and group shots to portraits and street photography. It was the first camera of its kind with a zooming viewfinder that follows the lens as you zoom, so what you see is what you get. Autofocus, automatic exposure, motorised film handling and a built-in flash make it easy to use, while creative extras like multiple exposures, spot metering and macro mode give more experienced photographers plenty to play with.
