I never knew that about the Infinity. It was a great a little camera.
When it was introduced, I was working in the electronics and camera
section of a department store, and I sold a ton of them. I sold so many
that I got two of those silver Olympus Infinity jackets as incentive
rewards, and some other stuff. I think my ex-wife still has hers, and a
friends wife still has hers, even though she recently started using a
little Min#olta digicam as her main camera.
