80s Commercials - Minolta Talking Camera

Holy shit. Am I seeing this right?

A talking camera? Not only that- but a talking camera buried within a Wizard-of-Oz-sellout-stunt?

I'll let this commercial speak for itself. At least there's no jingle...

Instead of turning on flash automatically it tells you that it needs to be turned on. Brilliant.

Did Dorathy flash for the cameras? Wow!

If a picture of the Tinman was taken on those old cameras, he would of shown up as a big glare.

i wonder if that's the only thing it says...

[TheCowardlyLion04]

Well, they were a bit short of crew people, and the Tin Woodman was asked to run the camera.

I used to have that Talker camera. Took some good pictures. Wound up losing it at an auto show though. Oh well.

[ExplorerDS6789]

That's exactly what I've always wondered, but I guess he didn't fit. I mean the Lion's too scared, the Scarecrow isn't smart enough. What would be the Tinman's excuse? "I haven't got the heart"? or "my heart's just not in it?"

Were's the Tinman?
