Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

If you are looking for autofocus convenience and flash versatility, find it in the Olympus Trip XB-40 AF QD. In the XB-40, an infrared autofocus system with focus lock and a sharp lens combine for consistently clear shots. The auto- flash takes care of low-light situations, and fill-in flash helps minimize strong backlight and sidelight.

This camera offers precision autofocus with point-and-shoot simplicity. It automatically sets the film exposure so you don't have to remember to set it every time you reload. The motorized film load advances and rewinds in seconds. Focus lock is possible and enables accurate focus even when the subject of the photo is off-center. Quartz date and time recording make organizing your developed photographs a breeze.

2.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, but very disappointing fuzzy pictures., October 18, 2001

Lousy autofocus - I replaced the camera once and the new one is no better. I am sick of fuzzy, hazy pictures!

I consistently get MUCH better sharpness and quality with the Fuji SnapShot disposable cameras, as well as the Vivitar focus-free cheapie. Same shot, same time, same place they both put this camera to shame!

Even with ASA400 or ASA800 film, the pictures typically turn out too dark and with poor contrast as well. If pictures are worth taking, they really should turn out better than this!

This was a gift purchase for my husband. He needed something simple for his racing adventures, but I wanted quality for the sake of good pictures. This camera delivers both. The view finder is easy to see through, which is great for someone with poor vision like my husband.

The camera is small, easy to use, and easy to load with 35 mm film. Automatic advance and flash make it perfect for the novice, and takes the hassle out of candid shots.

We do not have any complaints about this camera.
