We can’t know the model without a product or duh, model number, but they definitly look like film, near the start of digital.

They all look to be old point and shoot film cameras.

The only one I recognize is the second from right held vertically. That’s a Contax TVS. Far right looks to be a Ricoh and the other silver one looks to be in the Olympus family. The two on the far left look to be black versions of the Canon Sureshot.

Really hard to tell with no details.

Seriously? You may get lucky and get a few brands, but exact models seems ridiculously unlikely. Do you have the year of the photo?

Sorry, the Contax is a custom version of the T2, not the TVS. I say custom because it has a leather wrap where what should be metal. Probably a 50year anniversary special edition model.

Thank you very much. The year of the photo is 2010… Okay I’m asking this because I want an old camera. It can’t pass the price of 80 $... And I always wondered if the oldest digital cameras take photos like film cameras?... I might get a 1990s digital camera but then again not sure what the photos would end up looking

A 1990’s era digital point and shoot will be a piece of crap. Your mobile phone probably has a signifiacntly better camera. If you want a cheap old point and shoot I’d go with film but it is getting hard to find film these days.

@QueenOfNowhere oldest digital cameras take pictures that are terrible, trust me, and they look nothing like film cameras.

If you want a good quality old film camera, go with a Kodak 35 Rangefinder. They are sexy, hefty, and you can find them for decent prices on ebay.

If you are feeling adventurous, go for the Holga. These things are super fun and unpredictable, and they take 120 film, which isn’t too cheap, but the images are worth every penny.

@Lightlyseared Wal Mart still stocks 35mm film, and there are several dozen online retailers that stock film. Film is NOT dead.
