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 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.
