Olympus AZ-1 Zoom 35mm point & shoot camera with 35-70mm zoom lens
Description:
What we find charming about the AZ-1 is the history behind it. This was Olympus' very first compact camera with a built-in zoom lens, which made it quite a forward-thinking camera when it came out. It's a larger and heavier camera than most compacts, with a solid feel in the hand, and it comes with a good set of features that were genuinely impressive at the time. The 35-70mm zoom covers a practical everyday range, the viewfinder zooms along with the lens so you always see exactly what you're shooting, and there's a macro mode, a slow sync flash option, backlight compensation, and even a multiple exposure mode for the more creative shooter. Everything else is fully automatic. A fun camera with a bit of character, and a good choice for anyone who doesn't mind carrying something with a bit more presence.
