Kodak No.1 Pocket
The No.1 Pocket Kodak was introduced on 1926 and uses Kodak’s short-lived autographic 116 film which allows you to use a metal stylus to write information about the photograph you just took by opening the squat T-shaped window on the rear panel of the camera. It was also possible to use regular 120 film. A rotating waist-level viewfinder can be found diagonal from the lens and focusing is achieved via worm screw on the user’s right side of the front panel with a focus distance scale on the left. The Pocket Kodak also features two tripod sockets: one just behind the worm screw for portraits and one on other side of the winding key for landscapes.
Although it was not a high end camera at the end, it's nicely art-deco decorated, and looks awesome of the shelf. I haven't tried but expect the camera is full working order. No worries, nothing got damaged during this test!

Braun Paxette
The first Paxettes made by Braun were simple viewfinder cameras, with the Paxette dating from 1950, the Paxette II being introduced slightly later. These camera's where of high quality, with excellent optics. The cameras bear no identifying model number, but they can be easily distinguished from each other because the Paxette has a fixed lens, while the lens is interchangeable on the Paxette II. This first generation have flat top covers with the accessory shoe being integral to the casting. Both cameras have a knob to advance the film, both cameras are fitted with an extinction exposure meter, and both cameras have a flash-synchronised Prontor S shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/300 second.
In 1953, the Paxette I was updated with a separate, pressed accessory shoe, and a rapid-wind lever, so the Paxette I with flat top cover must have continued in production after the introduction of the Paxette IIM. The shutter fitted is now a Prontor SVS.

The Zenit-E was made by KMZ. Zenith means a point in the sky that appears directly above the observer. The main differences from the Zenit 3M is an added light meter and the mechanism of mirror and cocking lever were changed. The Zenit E does not have aperture automation, and therefore must be used with manual diaphragm/preset lenses or auto diaphragm lenses with an auto/manual switch.

Petri Color 35E
The Petri Color 35 E is a small fully-automatic camera introduced by Petri as a simpler, less expensive version of the Petri Color 35. In place of the match-needle metering of the original, the 35E has program automatic exposure with no direct control except via the film speed dial. The only exposure indication is a red flag in the viewfinder if the exposure is below 1/30 @ f/2.8. It uses a push-pull mechanism to extend/retract the lens, a simple lens twist mechanism to set focus, and a conventional rewind crank.

Olympus OM-1
The OM-System was introduced in 1972, more than a decade later than most of the, by then, well-established 35mm SLR brands, taking advantage of new technology and increased general 35mm SLR understanding. The nucleus of this system is the brilliantly conceived camera body of remarkably compact design, yet with one of best viewfinders in any 35mm SLR camera. The first model introduced was the all-mechanical M-1, soon renamed OM-1, with a full aperture TTL CdS exposure meter and a wide bayonet lens-mount, gradually complemented by several quite sophisticated models.

It had a match-needle exposure readout so that the shutter speed set was indicated in the viewfinder. The aperture set on the lens was visible in the viewfinder through a small window.

Vivitar 220/SL
The Vivitar 220/SL is a Cosina-made M42 mount, 35mm SLR, marketed by Vivitar. Two versions were available: an all-black model and a black body with silver top model. The 220/SL included typical features for a mid-range SLR; exposure counter window, film plane marker, and a "film-in-chamber" indicator near the rewind crank. The focusing screen provides a microprism spot to assist with focusing.
The only feature lacking by the 220/SL, which was available on the slightly more expensive 250/SL, is a battery check button and matching battery indicator.

The Olympus OM system was released by Olympus in 1972. The Olympus OM bodies were divided in a high range and a middle range. The top range were the one digit models with a hyphen: OM-1/2/3/4.

The lower price was reflected in the construction of this camera and the features available, however, it was still a very competent performer and it reflected the elegant lines established by the compact OM-1 and 2 designs.

Nikon F50
The F50, sold as the N50 in the USes, was an entry-level SLR, aimed at the lower-end of the amateur autofocus SLR market.
The F50 features autofocus, Through-the-lens light metering and various "programs" (ranging from manual operation to a highly-automated point and shoot mode). The F50 body was made from polycarbonate and metal, and available in both "champagne silver" and black. It is similar to Nikon's other consumer film SLRs from its era, giving the usual P/S/A/M modes. Notable omissions include depth-of-field preview and any form of remote shutter release

Pentax MZ-50
The Pentax MZ-50 was introduced the year after the MZ-10 and has the same control layout with an exposure mode dial rather than classic controls. The MZ-50 added a night scene program mode for a total of six program modes (Normal (green), Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Action, and Night scene). The mode dial also has a Pict setting which, in connection with F, FA and D FA lenses, automatically selects the most suitable program mode based on an analysis of the scene.
As a cost cutting measure the camera lost the full functional KAF2 mount which means that it doesn't support power zoom and that M and K lenses can be used only with limitations.

Pentax MZ-7
The Pentax MZ-7 was also marketed as ZX-7, being technically identical.
Pentax produced two styles of SLR's, one with traditional controls and one, like the MZ-7, where the exposure mode is set on a dial like on today's DSLRs. Lenses without an aperture ring and lenses where the aperture ring is set to the "A" setting can be used in all exposure modes. Metering is done with the lens fully open in any event since the lens mount is a fully functional KAF mount. This camera can be used with all Pentax K-mount lenses with the restriction that power zoom is not supported by this mount.
The Pentax MZ-7 / ZX-7 has the traditional exposure modes Av, Tv, and M in addition to program modes (Green, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Action and Night scene). The camera also has the auto-pict mode where it automatically selects the program modes that fits the scene the best.
