Description:
We like the Freedom Escort for being one of the most genuinely pocketable film cameras ever made. Weighing just 160g and measuring only 36mm deep, it disappears into any pocket or bag without a second thought. The high quality 34mm f3.5 Minolta lens retracts flush when the camera is off and slides out electronically when you turn it on, and it produces sharp, clean images with good contrast for a camera of this size.
What makes it particularly interesting is it the same camera as the Leica Mini, a camera that sells for many times the price. Autofocus is reliable down to 60cm, there's red-eye reduction, flash on and off modes, and a self-timer. An incredibly light, pocketable everyday camera that punches well above its weight.
