The Nikon Zoom Touch 500 (called the TW Zoom in some countries) is a high quality 35mm point-and-shoot camera from the late 1980s. This was a very innovative and technologically advanced camera when it was new, Nikon described it as a 25 year "dream come true" for the company's engineers in this essay. And it's still a very capable camera today.

Condition notes
The camera was tested with a battery and film installed and performed great. The camera is very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
