The Olympus Trip MD3 is a 35mm 'point and shoot' compact camera produced by Olympus and launched in 1998. It is a camera intended for holidays like the rest of the series, hence the "Trip" name. It featured a light meter that controlled the camera, automatically changing settings. Because of this, the Trip MD3 was easy to use. It is a fixed-focus lens-shutter camera that uses DX-coded 35 mm film (ISO 100 to 400). The Image size produced is 24 x 36 mm. It also has a Olympus 34 mm F6.9, 3 elements in 3 groups lens, 1/125 of a second shutter, reverse Galilean-type viewfinder, progressive type, automatic reset exposure counter, motor film advance and rewind, built-in flash with Red-Eye-Reduction Lamp, automatic flash activation in low light conditions, and a focus range from 5 feet (1.5m) to infinity. It came in two colors of silver with blue grey decor and black with grey décor. All functions are powered by two1.5 V AA batteries.
