The Olympus Trip 100, also known in some markets as the Olympus Trip 100 R, is a simple and charming 35mm compact camera from the 1990s and part of Olympus’s long-running Trip family.
Unlike more complicated electronic point-and-shoot cameras, the Trip 100 is appreciated for its simple, reliable design. It is especially suitable for film photographers who want an easy camera with very little to think about: load the film, frame the shot and shoot.
At the front is an Olympus 35mm fixed-focus lens. The camera uses a focus-free design with a broad depth of field, so there is no autofocus motor and no focusing delay. This makes it quick and straightforward to use for everyday photography, holidays, street photography and the classic nostalgic 1990s film look.
Another nice feature is the manual film advance. After each photograph, the film is advanced using the thumbwheel rather than an electronic motor, while rewinding is also manual. This keeps the camera simple and reduces the amount of electronics inside.
The built-in flash is also manually controlled with the front sliding switch, allowing the photographer to decide when flash is needed instead of having the camera automatically fire it every time the light becomes low.
The sliding front cover protects the 35mm lens when the camera is not being used and also helps prevent accidental shutter releases while carrying it in a bag or pocket.
