Minolta Zoom 70 35mm camera w/ case (serial 37126277)

The Minolta Zoom 70 is a point-and-shot 35mm camera from the 1990s with a better-than-typical zoom lens (thanks in part to its inclusion of an a aspherical lens element). 

This camera requires a CR123 battery (available as an option).

Condition notes
The camera's functions were tested with batteries and a roll of film (the film was not developed). All modes are working correctly. In addition, we verified the camera's film plane focus and autoexposure accuracy. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos) with some minor wear on the body. The included case in overall good condition but the leatherette piping is crumbling (a common cosmetic issue with camera cases of this era).

Example photos
Here are some pictures taken by other people using the Riva Zoom 70 (which is nearly identical to this camera except for cosmetics and its on/off switch design) :
