The '''Fujifilm DL-290 Zoom''' is a compact 35mm zoom camera in [[Fuji]]'s drop-in loading (DL/Discovery) series.

It is available in the US as the '''Discovery 290 Zoom'''. Full dark black body version were available as the '''Discover 290 Zoom BL'''. Some models are a lighter shade. The '''BL''' variation is often described as a darker coloured version, but typically not imprinted on the camera. 

A date-imprinting model is available as the '''Discovery 290 Zoom Date''', in Japan as the '''Zoom Cardia Super 290 Date'''. Black date model was available as the '''DL-290 Zoom Date BL''', '''Zoom Cardia Super 290 BL''' and the '''Discover 290 Zoom Date BL'''. Silver body Date versions were also offered as the '''DL-290S Zoom Date''' and as the '''Discovery 290S Zoom Date'''. Also available with remote control. As with many of the later [[Zoom lens|zoom-lensed]] compacts from major manufacturers, the lens is impressively sharp and contrasty with only a touch of vignetting at the wide end. The flash also produces good exposures because its power is automatically set according to the amount of ambient light.
