HIT Camera Blog

[KurtLindal]

That Hit camera is pretty small Jane: however, the Japanese made a little bugger that was still available in the late 50's that was about 1/3 as big as the one you showed. It's exposure was automatically controlled by the return spring attached to the shutter. Also it came with 5 rolls of film, 10 pics per roll, B&W only. I'm sure one of your subscribers must have seen one, and maybe even has one. They were so small, it would be easy to lose in the bottom of a catch all drawer. Have a good one!

[peoplesuckify]

where do you get all those fascinating cameras?

[stylistbrighton]

My Dad's collection from years and years of collecting. I have some more videos showing more of the collections...coming soon! Thanks for subscribing too. :)

This camera is very big

Really cute little camera! They actually do make digital cameras that small these days, and to make matters even better; they are made to resemble classic cameras! One of the companies which are legendary when it comes to miniature cameras is MINOX (google this) from Germany. Check their cameras out. They look awesome. (Although image quality is a tad low)

[stylistbrighton]

I know of the Minox. Cool. thank you for the tip, i will have too check them out. Thank you for watching my video and commenting too.

i love spy cams... i have a couple myself. i gotta do a video response soon.

[stylistbrighton]

The photo on my blog post has them when they came out for like 52 cents...how cool. Please do a response that would be brilliant.

That's a great camera. It would probably cost a lot of money to make a camera like that now, given the manual labor. There'd have to be strict tolerances and precise machining etc that would drive the price way up. Great video.

[stylistbrighton]

Yeah, you are right. I guess they would get them make in the East like many of the electronics, clothes and other goods we manage to get for cheap prices. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That's a cool camera! Yeah amazing how small it was back then!

[stylistbrighton]

[conibonjovi]

Well, thanks for coming to look i appreciate it.

Spy camera! too cute, you can get these ebay for like 10 bucks if anyone is interested

[stylistbrighton]

I keep seeing camera on eBay and wanting to buy them. You can really pick up a bargain with the state of the economy at present.

That IS is fact the cutest camera I've ever seen...by far :)

[stylistbrighton]

Cool, i am glad you liked it. It is my fav cutest too.

[Leprecaun123]

Hello Jane, I haven't commented on your videos for quite some time, but I found something you might be interested in. It's a 1920's Kodak No. 2 Box Brownie camera and it's in perfect condition. I just thought I'd let you know what cameras I've been finding around the house.

[stylistbrighton]

cool, my dad has box brownies don't know if any are 1920's. I will ask my dad and see if we have something similar to yours.

[jenscars]

i love it! It looks like the mini Leicas!

I wonder if your dad has any film that was developed with the cameras you show, to see what the photos looks like!

[stylistbrighton]

I will ask him! I think he got one film done out of an old camera he bought.

[P00P0STER0US]

That is absolutely the cutest manual camera ever made. I wonder what film size...looks like 110 would fit, though not in a 110 cartridge. (Remember those 110 cameras?)

[stylistbrighton]

nope, i will be honest i dont know...LOL...i saw the tiny films on the camerapedia website. Links in description.

[LMD327]

Great video and what a cute little camera ;)

[stylistbrighton]

Great isn't it? They sold them in the 50's for cents,, see my blog ... there is a photo there. x

[vjm1234]

how cute is that!?! when are you gonna get your parents in a vid? lol. SmileyD

[stylistbrighton]

I will try to, just for you xx

[ASECONDCHANCEAROUND]

That is so cute !

**Kisses**

[stylistbrighton]

I know...LOL. xx

[pete275]

does the handle just open the shutter? like, you have to expose it "manually"? doesn't it over-expose all the time?

[stylistbrighton]

To be honest with you, i have no idea. It was bought with the film already inside.

If you go to my blog i have 2 links for more information.
