With an aluminium and plastic body, this 120 6×6 camera is often considered a "toy camera" probably due to the toylike appearance and the meniscus lens. It was made by the Fuji Photo Film Co. from 1957 to 1963 and was released for sale exclusively in Japan, marketed as a camera for the whole family.

A leaflet advertising the camera had factual information in Japanese only, and the following text in English only:

With the Fujipet Camera you can the pictures very easily just as you manipulate your knife and fork. So you are a good photographer from the instant when you have bought the Fujipet Camera. The Fujipet Camera enjoys great popularity among children, mothers and all the members of the family and affords happiness in all homes.

There is also a Fujipet EE and a Fujipet 35.
