KONICA MINOLTA SILVERSTREAKZOOM FREEDOM SILVER STREAK ZOOM 35MM POINT & SHOOT / ZOOM CAMERA

The Minolta Freedom Silver Streak Zoom is an affordable and easy-to-use 35mm camera that includes features usually reserved for higher-priced models, such as a 35-70mm zoom lens that's controlled by a rocker switch located next to the shutter release button. The Silver Streak Zoom includes both an autofocus and focus-hold system, so you can focus on subjects as close as 4.3 feet. The built-in flash has four flash modes, including red-eye reduction and fill, with a range of up to 19 feet depending on film speed and zoom setting. Other features include a date-time stamp and a 10-second self-timer. Unique to cameras in this price range is a remote control that can activate the camera from as far away as 16 feet. Includes carrying case, batteries, and color-print film. --Harry C. Edwards
