The '''Cosina C1s''' is a 35mm SLR made by [[Cosina]], whose products are more typically seen rebranded under other names. 

While a manual-focus, manual-exposure camera may seem like a throwback in the 21st century, some users (and instructors of photography) still appreciate a camera that emphasizes the essentials, not unlike the venerable [[Pentax K1000]]. The C1s also uses the [[K mount lenses |K-mount]] lens standard, and so can mount a wide variety of lenses dating back to 1975. On the more modern side, the vertically-traveling shutter reaches 1/2000 sec., and syncs with electronic flash at 1/125 sec. The shutter is mechanical and does not require batteries to operate; power is only required to illuminate the meter display LEDs in the viewfinder.

Both silver and black finish versions were sold.

The [[Cosina C1]] is the same camera, but lacking a self-timer. The [[Cosina C2|C2 and C3]] are similar-looking SLRs but offering electronic-shutter autoexposure. The C1s is a continuation of the features Cosina originally developed for the [[Cosina CT1 Super|CT1 Super]], but here the styling has been modernized and the ISO selector combined with the shutter-speed dial. Name variations have appeared as the '''[[Dakota RZ-2000]]''', or '''[[Promaster 2000PK Super]]''', among other names.
