Olympus's 2005 ultra-compact oddity — 5MP CCD, 3x 38-114mm zoom, part of the short-lived IR 'Total Imaging System' line.

The IR-300 was a 2005 ultra-compact from Olympus's short-lived IR series, promoted as part of the company's 'Total Imaging System' concept that bundled the camera with printing and sharing accessories. The IR badge sat outside the mainstream Camedia, Mju and FE lines and only a handful of IR models were ever released, which makes it a curiosity in the Olympus range.

Inside is a 5-megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD paired with a 3x optical zoom equivalent to 38-114mm, plus 4x digital zoom. Framing is handled on a 2-inch, 210,000-dot LCD, storage is xD-Picture Card supplemented by 15MB of internal memory, and power comes from a rechargeable LI-40B lithium-ion battery. The slim body measures roughly 98x53x22mm and weighs about 112g.

It suits collectors of unusual Olympus lines and anyone wanting a genuinely pocketable mid-2000s CCD compact for casual shooting. Operation is fully automatic point-and-shoot, so it offers little to photographers who want exposure control, and the small sensor limits low-light work.

Check that the LI-40B battery still holds a useful charge and that a charger comes with the camera; the battery type remains cheap as it was shared across many Olympus compacts. xD-Picture Cards are discontinued, so bundled storage is a plus. Inspect the LCD for pressure marks and confirm the lens barrel extends without hesitation.
