Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD 35mm Film Camera

Samsung Evoca 170SE Zoom 35mm Camera

Samsung combined the latest technology with top-quality German glass to create the stylish Evoca 170SE 35 mm compact camera. The Schneider- Kreuznach Varioplan 38-170 mm auto macro lens zooms in and out at 10 millimeter increments with impressive speed. Fully automatic, its six different modes are easily adjusted using the mode dial switch on top of the camera, similar to dials often found on digital cameras. The various modes include fully automatic snap shooting for active subjects, portrait zoom, which maintains a constant subject size within the frame, continuous shooting for photos in sequence, spot shooting for one subject in a crowd, and landscape shooting for focus set to infinity.An LCD on top of the camera allows you to see which mode the camera is set to as well as how many exposures are left on the roll, current measurement of the zoom, flash setting, and if the self-timer has been turned on. There is a separate panorama switch between the zoom button and the diopter that narrows the picture area within the diopter when set. Loading film is extremely simple, and the roll automatically rewinds when finished. If you depress the shutter button halfway down, a blinking green light will turn on when your subject is in focus. The macro mode sets automatically if the subject is within about 4 feet or closer.The Evoca 170SE has an attractive look and feel overall, although some may find it slightly bulky. The stylish front of the camera is a metallic silver, but be warned that the backing is gray plastic. It comes with its own camera case and is powered by one 3 volt lithium battery. We recommend it for its intelligent design and powerful zoom.Pros:Speedy, high-quality zoom lensEasy-to-use mode dial with innovative settingsSeparate panorama switchAdjustable diopter with panorama framingMacro capabilitiesCons: Plastic backing not as sturdy as metallic frontSlightly bulkyNoisy zoom
