Olympus AZ-300 superzoom Point & Shoot 35mm Film Camera .

The Olympus AZ-300 Superzoom is a 35mm compact camera with autowind and rewind, built in flash, multi mode and a 38-105mm f3.5 lens. It’s has a built in double exposure mode for extra creativity. When the camera was released it win compact camera of the year in Europe.

The camera in in very good working order and I have run a test of film through it several times to double check all its functions are working correctly and I found the camera to perform and work correctly with no issues with any of the buttons or display and the film advance rewind mechanism.

The lens has no marks or scratches and signs of haze or fungus and zoom out and in correctly.

The viewfinder is overall bright and clear , but it does have a few small dust particles inside it that are noticeable in use . But the camera is still easy to use . The internal led lights inside it light up correctly when in use.

The flash is working correctly in all modes .

The self timer is working.

Cosmetically the camera has no damage and overall not that many signs of use . The only real noticeable mark is a wear to the paint on one corner where some paint has worn off . Apart from that

The battery compartment is clean and the battery has no damage . All you need is 2 x CR123A battery to power the camera (not included).

The film compartment is clean and the light seal is in good condition.

The camera will deal with the exposure and focus for you so all you need to think about is the photo itself. You can control the various shooting modes by by releasing a cover on the top of the rear of the camera that reveals the control buttons .

You can control the flash and various other modes using the screen on the top of the camera along with the zoom.

This one would suit anyone who’d like an automatic camera which is easy to use and has some extra modes, ready for day or night.
