Chronology of cameras Konica
After a few APS models derived from existing 24 x 36 cameras, Revio 1 is the name of a series of new compact APS cameras from Konica. Thanks to the small size of the APS cartridge, the cameras are compact.
Their shape is rectangular, with a slightly off-center lens. They all have a built-in electronic flash. They feature a small autofocus zoom.
One original feature present on several models is a small mirror that unfolds above the camera, allowing users to take selfies (the term was not yet in fashion).
The career of the Revio series was relatively short due to the lack of success of the APS format.
