This bulky 35mm film camera was part of Olympus' Superzoom series. It was known as the Accura 700BF in the US. First sold in 1997, the camera has a good range of functions, but the zooming operation seems sluggish by modern standards. A upgraded version was released in 1999 as the Olympus Superzoom 700XB with a optional Quartz Date function and an even larger viewfinder.
