The first complete collection of all movie cameras: 512 pages featuring more than 3,350 different makes, with color illustrations throughout. A comprehensive guide to manufacturers and cine cameras from all over the world, providing a rare insight into little-known facts – such as the Japanese Single-8 movie camera with optical sound, French cameras that used only half of the original 9.5mm format, or the only existing Chinese 16mm movie camera!

Over 1,500 illustrations. Everything collectors need to know about camera designers, outstanding camera developments, advertising material - and cameras that were never built. Each make is presented with its history. Complete listing of all camera types produced by each manufacturer, including information on the year of production, the price at the time, the amount of cameras made, their value today as a collector‘s item, all technical data, and facts on the development of the different formats.
