Boots is a chain-store chemist (a drugstore like Walgreens in the USA) in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It has sold a multitude of cameras and accessories made by many manufacturers, including Braun, Beier, Franka, Houghtons, King and Bencini, rebadged under the Boots name, going back at least to 1911[1].

For a large fraction of the twentieth century, Boots was a popular film retailer and photo processor in the UK, and continues selling photographic products in the digital era. However, most cameras sold by Boots recently (apart from disposable cameras) are under the original manufacturer's brand names, rather than Boots own.
