Kyocera Samurai x3.0 35mm Point and Shoot Half Frame Camera

The Kyocera Samurai X3.0 is a one-of-a-kind 35mm half-frame camera that combines the functionality of a point-and-shoot with the layout of an SLR. With its vertical "camcorder-style" body and fast autofocus, the Samurai X3.0 shoots 72 half-frame images per roll—twice the photos from the same roll of film. Perfect for storytelling, diptychs, or just getting more shots from your favorite stock.

It features a fixed 25–75mm zoom lens, built-in motorized film advance and rewind, and full auto exposure, making it a great choice for fast-paced shooting or street photography with a twist. This model was quite advanced for its time and remains a cult favorite for fans of half-frame photography.

Condition: Good

This Kyocera Samurai X3.0 is in good working condition. All core functions have been tested and are operating properly, including film transport, autofocus, zoom, and metering. The lens has some internal dust, typical for cameras of this age, but nothing that will affect image quality.

There is noticeable cosmetic wear throughout the body from regular use, but no cracks or major damage. It comes with the original Kyocera-branded leather case for protection and added vintage appeal.

If you're looking for a truly unusual film camera with character and capability, the Samurai is a fantastic option.
