Chronology of cameras Ouyama - New Taiwan Photographic Corporation 

Ouyama is also known as New Taiwan Photographic Corporation (NTPC). Like those of Formosa Plastics Corporation (FPC), NTPC's products are plastic, of poor quality (from a photographic perspective), and are found under multiple names, often used as promotional gifts. The Canomatic is representative of this manufacturer. It appears that FPC manufactured for NTPC.
The other products can be grouped into several types:

This is also referred to as the Nikaiyo QP8000. "FMD" stands for "Full Motor Drive" , meaning that it has electric winding and re winding. The design is probably evolved from the Meikai AW4366 (2), and it has identical specifications.

The name "Nikaiyo Photo Optics / Photo Optic Power Drive Systems"  is screen printed on the back, and the label on the top indicates that it passed the quality control of the same mysterious company.

It was made by Ouyama/NTPC probably for other companies to sell by mail order. It is impressive in appearance (if not in performance), and there are still people today in charity shops and on the internet who value it as a precision instrument.

It was often sold as a kit in a rigid case with foam inserts, tripod, flash, lens cap, lens hood, soft case, carry strap and instructions.
