The AF-66 is an autofocus point-and-shoot camera for 35mm film, introduced by Ricoh in 1991. It is also known as the Shotmaster AF-P in the US.
This camera was the upgraded model of the S-30 (also known as the Shotmaster AF) released two years earlier in 1989. The primitive fixed-speed mechanical shutter on the S-30 was replaced with a variable-speed programmed electrical shutter, the built-in flash automatically activates in dim light, the DX-code system can detect a wider range of film speeds, and a self-timer with an LED indicator was also incorporated.
There is also a variant model named AF-66S, which was aimed primarily at the Asian markets. It looks identical to the AF-66 and they share almost the same specifications, but the AF-66S uses a more traditional lever-type self-timer without LED indicator rather than the push button type on the AF-66.
