Harry Potter camera Collectable argus c3 vintage camera colin creevey

I am putting this video up on you tube to help anyone searching for information on the Colin Camera as seen in Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets.
I bought this camera off eBay for 15 dollars and the flash for 6 dollars. I got a second one by accident for 5 bucks which is cool and it came with the flash.
Its the argus c3 match matic also worded like c-3 matchmatic.
I searched Argus c3 and found a bunch of them at really good deals on ebay.

If you get one comment below!! I would love to know how many people find it interesting.
I stumbled upon by chance a article a guy did talking about the camera and harry potter and current prices of vintage cameras but I couldn't find anything on you tube so here it is.

You can search Google or yahoo for Colin Creevey and find many pictures of him holing the camera, in fact you probably wouldn't recognize him without the camera help up with that eager look like he wants a picture of everything.

thanks!  this is awesome, i didn't even know, i just got one from an antique shop in wisconsin. and you're right, they are cheap now.

[eviltig]

@swingsandtunnels Cheap and fun, well cheap to get and fun to use but not so cheap to use a bunch (lol) good find!

I just realized I own one of these! LOL! I am not a Harry Potter fan, so there was no connection for me, but came across your video when I Googled Argus c3. It is the complete outfit....flash.. light meter, with the camera and even a full box of unused Sylvania bulbs! (Instruction manual also... which I see they are selling on Ebay alone).... Sweet! :)

@ceceruru1 Good deal!! If you ever decide to sell it make sure you point out that its the same as the movie one you get more for it. I think I paid around 10 for mine and around 10 for flash but Ive seen them sell for $80.00 plus

@MsBuBBLesvA I did take two rolls of film thru it and either I did something wrong or something is wrong with the camera... (most likely it was me) lol..... The pictures all turned out over exposed so it just sits on the shelf as a decoration..

[MsBuBBLesvA]

so have you taken pictures with it yet?
