Olympus XA-3 film camera - fair condition

One of the most revolutionary camera designs of the 1980s - the XA3 is a true classic.

With it's unique sliding clamshell design, and tiny size (only weighs 200g !) the XA3 was designed as the camera you can take absolutely everywhere. 

The XA3 is the same as the XA2, but with the addition of two features:

• DX coding (so that the camera automatically sets the film speed).
• Backlight correction switch

It has fully automatic exposure, so all you need to do is set the focus (only 3 simple settings) and click the shutter. 

It is surprisingly good in low light - great for night street photography.

The viewfinder is lovely and clear / bright, with a warning light to warn you if light is low.

The bottom of the camera has a switch for battery test, and self-timer operation.

So simple to use - anyone can take great photos.
