Olympus's 1996 entry-level 35mm compact — fixed-focus 34mm f/5.6 lens, DX coding, auto flash, AA power.

The Trip 300 was a 1996 addition to the Trip family of budget 35mm compacts, a name Olympus revived in 1984 for simple autofocus and fixed-focus cameras trading on the reputation of the original Trip 35. It sat at the entry end of the range alongside models like the Trip 100 and later Trip 500, aimed at buyers who wanted a no-decisions holiday camera.

It is a fixed-focus point-and-shoot with a 34mm f/5.6 lens, a single 1/125s shutter speed and a sliding lens cover in the Trip house style. Film speed is read automatically via DX coding, film advance and rewind are motorised, an automatic electronic flash covers low light, and there is a tripod socket. Power comes from two AA batteries, one of the cheapest and easiest supplies of any 1990s compact.

As a first film camera it is about as simple as 35mm gets: load, point and shoot, with the flash firing itself when needed. The fixed-focus f/5.6 lens relies on depth of field, so subjects closer than a couple of metres go soft, and results reward bright light and mid-speed film rather than critical enlargement.

Battery dependence is mild here since AA cells are everywhere, but the camera still will not wind or fire without them, so test power-up, motor advance and rewind through a full cycle. Confirm the flash charges with its ready lamp and fires, check the sliding cover switches the camera cleanly, and inspect the film-door seals; at typical prices a film-tested example is worth the small premium.
