Point and shoot film cameras which are either vintage, or could be described as having retro features, functionality, design or styling. Some of these are truly vintage, as in they are point and shoot film cameras from a pre-automatic age. Generally these originate prior to the 1970s, are often made of metal, with a compact format and a built-in prime lens. This section also includes more modern, even contemporary, point and shoot film cameras which are designed with a similar aesthetic to vintage cameras. These retro cameras may just look like older compact cameras, or are based on vintage camera design functionality, or are reconditioned or adapted from older models.
