Olympus - Infinity Zoom 80 QD 35mm Film Camera Review

Infinity Zoom?  Hardly.  But it does have fairly good zoom capabilities for a $50 film camera.  I used one of these until I could save up the $$$ for a digital camera.  From what I could find via the Internet, Target still carries this camera at most stores.

Like most everything, this little camera has its good & bad points.  The good: From about 8 - 10 feet away, you can zoom in close on your subject.  Anything further than that is a waste.  It has a self timer if you want to get in the picture.  And it can be mounted on a tri-pod.  Also, this Olympus - Infinity Zoom 80 QD has several settings, such as to eliminate red-eye.

The bad: The directions are in several languages & are in really fine print.  Get out the magnifying glasses.  Since it's a film camera, you will have to look into a view finder vs. an LCD display as on digital cameras.

Two AA batteries supply the power.  I found regular alkaline batteries worked fine as well as rechargeable batteries.  You can also date stamp all your photos if so desired.  Granted, it's not as good as a $250 - $300 digital camera.  But, it's a lot better than a $8.00 throw away film camera.
