The Myport Zoom 320P is an autofocus point-n-shoot camera for 35mm film, introduced by Ricoh in July 1993 as the successor to their Myport Zoom mini. The upgrades were focused mainly on the extension of its rather short zoom range and the preservation of its ultra-compact body size. The 38-60mm 1.6X zoom on the mini was replaced by a more versatile 32-64mm 2.0X zoom while the external body design and the size were kept almost the same.

This camera is also known as the FF-20 Wide Zoom or the Shotmaster Ultra Zoom Super, and there is another identical model named Myport Zoom 320PS which appeared later in its production period.

Like the other Ricoh's compact cameras given the name of FF / Myport / Shotmaster, this camera also has some unique features for a point-and-shoot camera, such as Continuous shooting mode, TV mode, Super-night mode, and the remote control capabilities. Unlike the preceding Myport Zoom mini series cameras, the Myport Zoom 320P and all its variant models incorporate the Switchable panorama function as a standard feature.

The Myport Zoom 320P and its variant models were made in Japan and Taiwan.
