Nikon Zoom 310 AF

The Nikon Zoom 310 AF represents a typical compact 35mm point-and-shoot camera from the early to mid-1990s, characterized by its autofocus zoom lens and fully automatic operation. Designed for the mass market, it prioritized ease of use and affordability over advanced features or robust construction. Its key defining elements include a built-in zoom lens offering a moderate range (typically around 38-110mm equivalent), a simple viewfinder, pop-up flash, and fully automatic exposure and focus, making photography accessible to casual users without requiring technical expertise. The body was constructed primarily of plastic to keep costs down, reflecting its position as an entry-level model within Nikon's extensive compact lineup of that era.
