The
Olympus AF10 Super (Infinity Junior in the US) was released in 1987, a fully
automatic 35mm film camera. It
inherited the sliding cover design from the XA. Small and
lightweight, with an integrated flash, it's smaller than the XA with flash attached. Its main features are:

This
camera is easy to use.
Autofocus is responsive and works well. Putting a film is easy as
well, open the back, tear the film leader a bit further, drop the
film and that's it. The
camera spools the film automatically. As with most point and shoot
ultra compacts, auto
flash is set at start. There is no mid roll respool button.
The AF10 Super is a good point and shoot camera. Sharp images, good autofocus,
in a tiny little camera. When was released, it was one of the better models.
