This slightly blemished camera (its strap lugs were reinforced with epoxy by its original owner--see photos) is an excellent choice for someone who is looking for performance ahead of cosmetics. We tested its light meter/exposure accuracy and and its lens' resolving power and in both areas this SuperZoom 300 matched the quality of a much larger, more expensive camera. 

First released in 1988, the Olympus Infinity SuperZoom 300 (also sold as the SuperZoom AZ-300) is one of the original 'bridge cameras' combining point-and-shoot ease of use with the lens quality and many of the advanced features typically found in SLRs.

Here's what Olympus said about it when it was new:

"In creating the Infinity SuperZoom 300, Olympus set out to develop a multiple function, compact camera that would not only be fun to use but gives the photographer the ability to handle almost any problem quickly and easily. It provides the type of photographic creativity and versatility previously available only with much larger, more expensive and more complicated cameras."

Battery info

The camera requires two CR123A lithium batteries for power (available as an add-on).

Condition notes 

This camera was tested with a battery and film roll installed (the film was not developed) and all functions are working perfectly. The camera is in good condition with some cosmetic wear as mentioned above (see photos). Its lens was always protected with a UV filter (included) so it is excellent condition.  We verified the film plane focus accuracy on an autocollimator (it showed excellent sharpness for a zoom point-and-shoot) and its autoexposure accuracy (also very good).
