Fujifilm DL-270 Zoom MR 35mm camera (serial 71204145)

The Fujifilm DL-270 MR is a user-friendly but good quality 35mm point and shoot featuring a 35-70mm zoom lens.

Like most Fujifilm cameras of the era, it uses a quick and foolproof 'drop-in loading' system for film.

This camera was also sold as the DL-270 (the black coloured version), and Discovery 270 Zoom.

Battery information

This camera is powered by a CR123A 3-volt lithium battery (available as an add-on).

Battery capacity: "A new lithium battery will provide power for taking about 300 pictures, including 150 with flash (as tested according to Fujifilm's battery testing procedure)."

Condition notes

The camera is in very good functional and cosmetic condition. It was tested with a battery and film installed and all functions are working correctly. We also verified its autofocus is working with good accuracy.
