The Olympus i Zoom 75 follows the usual APS spec: fully-automatic, with motor drive and auto-focus. This one is unusual, in that it is stamped 'Marie Helvin' on the rear. In mid 1999, 40 celebrities were given Olympus i Zoom 75's by the 'Fashion Acts' Aids awareness charity and asked to shoot whatever they liked. The results were displayed at Harrods from 14th Sept to 29th October, 1999. Celebrities included: Anna Friel, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jude Law, Marie Helvin and Kate Moss, among others. So, I can't be sure, but this is either a limited edition camera produced at the time, or, was this the actual camera used by Marie??a ‘Marie Helvin’ example. Thoughts?
APS system cameras were jointly developed by the major manufacturers to be easier to use than conventional 35mm. They use an automatic load film cartridge. Introduced in 1996, the timing wasn’t right. Digital cameras started to become more popular in early 2000’s, and by 2004, manufacture of APS cameras ended. Film cartridges continued to be produced until 2011. However, out of date film is still available, and it can be processed by some specialist companies.
