Minolta P's 35mm Point-and-Shoot Film Camera

Grade & Condition:
By The 35mm Club
$199.95 AUD $219.95

Perfect for:

  • First-time film explorers

  • Casual travel shots & everyday creativity

  • Easy panorama-style 35mm filming

Looking to shoot 35mm film with a camera that’s effortless, fun and creates something a little different? The Minolta P’s (also known as the Minolta Riva Panorama and Minolta Freedom Vista) is a compact, fully automatic 35mm film camera built for simple shooting and panoramic results.

✔ Ultra-portable & pocket-friendly – One of the slimmest film cameras on the market, this vintage camera measures 116 x 34 x 62mm and weighs just 180g, so it can easily slip into your bag or pocket with ease, making it ideal for grabbing shots on the go without bulk or fuss. 

✔ Panoramic 24mm lens for wide views – The fixed wide-angle 24mm autofocus lens (f/4.5) gives you broader framing than a standard 35mm camera, perfect for landscapes, cityscapes, and scenes where you want more in the frame.

✔ Auto everything, just shoot – With fully automatic exposure, infrared autofocus, motorised film advance/rewind, and a built-in flash, the P’s handles the technical stuff so you can focus on the moment.

✔ Panorama format adds character – Rather than standard 3:2 framing, this camera produces a wider 3:1 panoramic ratio that feels cinematic straight out of the camera with no cropping needed.

If you’re just starting with film or after a standout vintage camera for your collection, the Minolta P’s makes shooting 35mm film approachable and creative. Its panoramic twist and easy automatic features make it a unique companion among film cameras.

Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR123A 3V battery (sold separately).
