The Heart Camera (ハートカメラ) is a Japanese camera, about which little is known. It is mentioned as the "Heart Camera A" (ハートカメラA型) in the official list of set prices compiled in October 1940 and published in January 1941, for ¥94.[1] It is listed in the same category as the Lyra Six, National Six, First Six, Clover-Six or Weha Six, and it is probably another 6×6 folding camera.
