Olympus Trip XB AF-44 35mm camera (serial 5606215)
The Olympus Trip XB AF-44 is a compact autofocus 35mm point-and-shoot with a 27mm wide-angle lens.
This camera is very similar to the more commonly seen Trip XB AF-40 and Trip XB AF-41 (the Trip XB AF-44 is the 'deluxe' model of the series as includes date imprinting and a self-timer).
Its lens is simple by Olympus standards (27mm f6.3 wide angle, 3-component, 3-group) but we really enjoy the image quality this camera delivers. It gives particularly good results if you pay attention to its flash range (see specifications below) for indoor/low light situations. In the flickr.com example photos linked below, the photographer did a good job working within the camera's capabilities.
The camera requires two AA batteries (not included).
