The old R.O.C. Cyclone Sr. 4x5 box camera I just got is certainly point and shoot... especially since the mirrors in the viewfinders are shot so the only thing to do is aim it towards something and hit the shutter button...

Benno,
that sounds nice and primative, one way for a view finder , put two nails in the frount and one nail at the back this should help you visulise wear you are pointing the thing, could you post picture of camera it's one I,m not familier with

peter Gowland makes a handheld aerial model with helical focusing. Give him a call---give him a call even if you're not keen on it---he's a great guy to speak with!

i've started to play around with a land 600 portrait camera ..
( 1/125 f 16 fixed ) with 6 shutters.
maybe it is not point and shoot
but point and shoots ?
Does this qualify?
I forget Paul, does this unit offer a shift adapter accessory?Originally Posted by Paul Droluk
Currently undergoing testing:
Details: this is actually slightly thinner than the original Polaroid 900 without a film back in place; front standard moves four different ways; this is just the prototype.
I hope to tell a bit more soon, though testing has revealed a need to change a few aspects. I am also considering scrapping the Polaroid 900, except the rangefinder, and making my own complete body, which would get around a few issues.
Ciao!

Downsize this. It took me a week to find the parts but only a day to make. http://web.mac.com/cjbroadbent/Site/fivebyseven.html
You could add a helicoidal lens mount from Fotoman and a wire viewfinder. Forget the black leatherette.
Christopher, that's an excellent job and a really cool camera. The theory is the same as my 4X5 box point and shoot but I think yours looks way cooler.
I started out with a 121mm Weitwinkel Anastigmat on mine. Then, along came a 90mm Wollensak Extreme Wide Angle f/12.5. I shortened the body to use that lens. It's interesting to see things that folks make themselves. Looking forward to more.
thats nice Gordon, I look forward forward to further developments, I agree, I sometimes the the polaroid body makes more problems than it solves, my next point and shoot is having a wooden body
