The [[Olympus]] '''AZ300 Superzoom''' (aka the ''Infinity 300'' and ''IZM300'') is a bulky [[point and shoot]] zoom camera taking [[35mm]] film. It was part of the [[Olympus_%28Infinity%29_AZ|Infinity AZ]] series, and was launched in 1988. It won the prestigious ''European Camera of the Year'' prize, and effectively launched the "[[bridge camera]]" genre. A notable first for this camera was that the viewfinder automatically corrected the view in parallel to the zooming lens.
