This time, I will write about a discovery I made in the viewfinder of a film compact camera.
We will refer to the products on sale at our vintage shop Japan Inc.
Following the previous article on film SLR cameras, this time I will write about the different viewfinder shapes of film compact cameras.
We will look at the viewfinders of Kyocera and Fujifilm film compact cameras.

KYOCERA P-mini PANORAMA is a film compact camera released around 1990.
There is a square viewfinder at the top inside the film chamber lid of the plastic body, in the same frame as the flash sign lamp.
This viewfinder is nearly square.

FUJIFILM SMART SHOT II was released in 1997.
This viewfinder is designed with a smooth, smooth corner at the top of the backside of the entire body section.
It is separate from the film chamber lid.
This viewfinder is shaped like a round roof in a warehouse.
The film compact cameras introduced here are from the 1990s, and the bodies are made of plastic or resin, giving them a distinctive design unique to the manufacturer.
Unlike film SLR cameras, film compact cameras offer a variety of camera designs that can be enjoyed, and I will continue to discover new ones and write about them in my columns.
In addition to the film compact cameras introduced this time, we also sell vintage cameras and lenses, anime goods, and radio cassette players, so please see the URL below.
