MCA Universal Home Video The Paper 35mm Point and Shoot Film Camera
This MCA Universal Home Video promotional camera was produced in 1994 to promote the film The Paper, part of a wave of studio-branded promotional items distributed around theatrical releases and home video campaigns. The body mimics the silhouette of a small SLR, though it is a simple fixed-focus 35mm point-and-shoot built primarily from molded plastic. In addition to a standard viewfinder, this camera also features a small waist-level viewfinder. It is fitted with a 50mm f/6.3 optical lens and a basic shutter system designed for daylight snapshots rather than controlled photography. Cameras like this were often used as marketing giveaways or tie-in merchandise, combining novelty branding with a functional film camera. The result is an object that sits somewhere between promotional memorabilia and working photographic tool, typical of the mid-1990s studio merchandising landscape.
Every vintage item we restore has a story, and we take great care to preserve its authenticity. Our trained technicians carefully inspect, clean and service each piece, retaining original components whenever possible. When necessary, we incorporate high-quality replacement parts to ensure reliability and longevity. The result is a thoughtfully restored vintage item that’s fully functional and ready for a second life.
Please note vintage items will show signs of previous use. While we carefully restore each piece to ensure full functionality, cosmetic wear and slight variations from the product photos should be expected.
