100 POCKET CAMERAS

Some cameras take great photographs.

Some become icons.

This book celebrates the rare machines that achieved both.

100 Pocket Cameras is a beautifully illustrated journey through nearly a century of compact camera design, bringing together the most attractive, influential and collectible pocket cameras ever created. From pioneering British manufacturers and elegant German engineering to Japanese masterpieces that transformed everyday photography, every camera tells a story of innovation, craftsmanship and culture.
