Category:Magazine cameras

This is a category of cameras which incorporate a magazine; a chamber containing a number of plates (usually, though conceivably also sheet film). A lot of magazine cameras were made around 1900. Some of these were box-form falling-plate cameras. Others like the Snappa Camera were folding cameras. Allowing quick and discreet changing of plates, many of these cameras are also in the category of detective cameras. Some cameras (often for ferrotype) used by street, fairground or low-budget studio portrait photography incorporate a magazine for small plates.
