Chronology of cameras Kinon
Not really a junk camera because it has correct technical features (cell, autofocus, engine, flash), but probably a cheap camera, the type to be sold in blister packs in supermarkets.
Note the ambiguity often maintained. It is inscribed on the front "Made in Japan". This applies only to the lens, because at the base of the camerat, there is a label "Passed China".
By searching the internet, we may find ( even if it is quite difficult) some other cameras of this brand.
The brand was registered with a simple logo in 1983 in the USA by Farsharp Industrial Corporation, Taiwan. It was abandoned on April 17, 1986. It was re-registered by the same company on November 4, 1986, with the logo featuring the characteristic shutter-like dot over the "i" and the "o" in the center of which bears the image of an optical device. It was abandoned on March 9, 1990.
This brand was registered with the second logo in France in January 1988 by Ghislain Van Der Does. It covers photographic, cinematographic apparatus, and optical equipment, as well as devices for recording, transmitting, reproducing sound, images, or text and documents. The trademark has expired, presumably in 1990.
