In general cameras are sensible serious pieces of equipment made by specialist manufacturers to take the best pictures possible. Of course some cost more than others and some perform better than others - but that is true of most consumer goods.
However from time to time a manufacturer will produce a camera which is more about fun than the pictures it takes. It may be the way the camera is shaped/coloured - or it may have some sort of fun feature. This shelf covers all the cameras in our collection which fall into this category.
The definition of Novelty & Toy Cameras varies depending on who you are talking too. For instance - I don't consider the Russian Lubitel cameras to be toys as they are made for general amateur photography by a proper camera company. On the other hand - I have included the Polaroid i-zone cameras as they certainly could be described as novelty cameras. Underneath the toy exterior Polaroid have done a proper job but the photos from the i-zone are not as attractive as the camera's colour and styling.
The main focus of our Toy camera collection are the animal cameras aimed at children. These vary from very simple to quite decent 35mm cameras - but they are designed to appeal to children rather more than being made to take decent photos.
