Ricoh's mid-1990s 35mm film zoom compact — a 38-80mm autofocus point-and-shoot, not a digital camera.
The Ricoh RZ-800 was a 35mm film autofocus point-and-shoot, not a digital compact, despite occasional listings that group it with digital models. It was a mid-1990s zoom compact sold under several names including the Shotmaster Zoom Super, Myport Zoom and Q80Z in different regions. It was a consumer everyday camera from the tail end of the film point-and-shoot era.
As a film camera it has no sensor or megapixel rating. It used a Ricoh 38-80mm f/4.5-6.4 zoom lens, giving roughly 2.1x reach rather than the long zoom sometimes attributed to it, with a multi-point autofocus system. It accepted standard 35mm film with DX coding across ISO 64-3200, and included automatic film winding and a built-in flash. Shutter speeds ran from 1 second to 1/400.
The RZ-800 suited casual general and travel photography for film shooters who wanted autofocus, a modest zoom and automatic operation. Handling was simple with few manual options, and the variable-aperture lens was slow at the telephoto end. It was a budget snapshot tool rather than an enthusiast camera, and its short zoom limits its appeal to those specifically after a compact film body.
As a film point-and-shoot, test the zoom and autofocus, confirm the film advance and rewind motors run, and check the battery contacts for corrosion. Inspect the light seals and the data-back LCD for fading, and verify the flash fires. Cameras of this budget class carry low value; a Canon Sure Shot zoom compact is a natural alternative for a working film point-and-shoot.
