Chronology of cameras Marchand 

Whether under the name Flash or Fischer Baby, the plastic 6 x 9 cameras offered by Marchand did not really have success. These globular shaped boxes used film 620.

Bernard Vial points out that the very thin plastic shell was not really light-tight, and required the use of low sensitive orthochromatic films.

The staples holding the back have an unfortunate tendency to open unexpectedly, ruining the hopes of the young photographer... who, no doubt, would have been disappointed by the poor quality of the result.

The distribution was handled by toy shops rather than by photographers who preferred to offer box cameras or more reliable Photax and Fex.

The Fischer Baby was no more successful than its brother, the Flash. Which is normal, since, apart from the name, nothing changes and especially not the defects. Plastic is just as fragile.
The accumulation of defects explains the lack of success of this model and, therefore, its rarity today.
