Olympus AZ-1 (Infinity) Zoom, photographed by Arty Smokes.

This brick-like 35mm film camera was Olympus' first compact camera with a built-in zoom lens. It had the name 'Infinity' in the US. First retailing in 1987, the camera was quite advanced for a point and shoot model, but seems overly large and bulky by modern standards.
