Preowned Olympus Stylus Zoom 70 35mm Film Camera
A compact, weather-resistant point-and-shoot with autofocus, a useful 35–70mm zoom lens, and Olympus’s distinctive sliding lens cover.
The Olympus Stylus Zoom 70 is a fully automatic 35mm film camera designed to be carried and used without fuss. Open the sliding cover to turn it on, frame your photograph, and let the camera handle focusing, exposure, film advance, and rewind.
Its 35–70mm zoom lens covers everyday scenes at the wide end and gives you a little extra reach for portraits and details. A built-in pop-up flash provides several modes for different lighting situations.

Condition
Good preowned condition with visible cosmetic wear consistent with age and normal use. The silver exterior shows scattered scratches, scuffs, and finish wear, particularly on the sliding lens cover, rear film door, corners, and edges. These marks are cosmetic and are clearly shown in the photographs.
The camera has been inspected and tested by Looking Glass. Please review the photographs carefully, as they show the exact camera being offered and are part of the condition description.
What’s Included
-
Olympus Stylus Zoom 70 Quartzdate camera
-
Original box
-
Original instruction materials
Please Note
A battery and 35mm film are not included.
Although this model was originally sold as weatherproof, its seals are several decades old. Looking Glass does not guarantee continued weather resistance, and the camera should not be submerged or deliberately exposed to water.
The Quartzdate calendar was programmed when the camera was manufactured and may not support present-day year imprinting.
The Looking Glass Take
The Stylus Zoom 70 offers the straightforward experience that makes compact film cameras so appealing: load a roll, open the cover, and start photographing. The 35–70mm zoom provides more flexibility than a fixed-lens point-and-shoot while keeping the camera small enough to bring along regularly.
This example shows honest cosmetic wear, making it a camera to use rather than one to keep on a shelf.
Ideal For
-
Everyday 35mm photography
-
Travel and social events
-
Beginning film photographers
-
Street photography and casual portraits
-
Anyone looking for a compact alternative to a larger film camera
