Need information about a Nikon Zoom Touch 500

[DougK]

As I mentioned in this post yesterday, my wife dug her old Nikon Zoom Touch 500 out of the closet last night while cleaning. The camera is in great shape, but we couldn't find the manual so I have no idea what it can do. I didn't have much luck trying to track down a manual on butkus.org. Is anyone familiar with this camera? Does anyone happen to have a manual for the camera?

I don't see your camera specifically listed but I would email Mike and ask him about it.

I think I may have to do that, thanks Rob.

I guess Zoom 500 AF could be same thing as Zoom Touch 500 (latter on U.S. market).

"The Nikon Zoom 500 AF of 1994 was offered as an alternative cheaper model to the Nikon Zoom 700 VR without the VR feature. The 38-105mm f/3.5~9.2 was marginally brighter than the VR version Its close focus (Macro) function enables it down to 0.86m focus its closest distance. The QD version has a panorama logo at the front and probably was introduced later in 1995."

It's close, my camera only has a 35-80mm lens. I think that would make it a TW Zoom 35-80QD, although I couldn't find much info on that model name/number either.
