** New Toys**

Recommended Posts

<p>New toys I purchased today at my local flea market, I also picked up a couple for the Classic Cameras forum, check my <a href="../classic-cameras-forum/00YVbw">post</a>.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The first camera is a *Fuji Discovery 3000 Zoom Date* with its external flash gun. Unknown when manufactured.<br /> This camera is fully auto, neat thing, you just put the film in, done, dont even need to thread it, it sports a 38-115mm zoom with macro.<br>

<br /> More info on this camera can be found here in the <a href="http://www.butkus.org/chinon/fujica/fujica_discovery_3000/fujica_discovery_3000-splash.htm"> manual</a>.<br /> I've seen sample shots on the web and cant wait to use it!</p>

<p>* This camera also had a roll of used film.</p>

<p>----</p>

<p>The seconded camera is a 1990? *ADI Action Tracker*. Yes, it does have 4 lenses, and thats why I bought it, it intrigued me.<br /> This camera is designed for *action* shots, it prints 4 images to one frame.<br /> Here is a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kidaradio/3556266913/">sample</a> shot, not my image, as found on the internet.<br /> More info can be found <a href="http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Action_Tracker">HERE</a>.<br /> I'm sure many of you will be looking for this fine camera!</p>

<p>----------------------<br /> I bought this flash because I thought it was cool, *don't have to buy cube bulbs any more!* was my first thought, second thought was I don't have a camera to use this on, which means, I never had to buy bulbs in the first place! I bought it anyway...</p>

<p>The clamp mount does swivel for vertical or horizontal mounting.<br /> It does power up and does pop, now I need a camera for it, can anybody recommend one?<br /> <img src="http://www.pn.jacksjunk.com/2011/04-03-2011/cc/JB_004.JPG" border="0" alt="" width="700" height="465" /></p>

<p>Hey, <strong>Jack</strong>, good to see a man who shares my impeccably dubious taste in junk cameras! That Fuji Discovery is a real find, not all that common, and a brief look at the manual suggests you could have a ball with it. I'll soon be posting some stuff on a similar camera, and it will be interesting to see what you can do with the Fuji. I'm not sure I can see a lot of use for Action Tracker, though...</p>

<p>Interesting post; I look forward to the pics!</p>

<p>To tell you the truth, all theses items were purchased for their oddity, which turned into a must have! Yes, I actually cant wait to use the Fuji. The ADI, I need to get a roll of 12 exp film as I dont really want to take that many pictures with it and honestly, it maybe the only time I use it...this camera does not even offer a tripod mount.</p>

<p>I passed over Minolta 101, 202 (I already own this camera), vintage Canon SLR (dont remember the model), Canon range finder, Vitto and a few others for what i did aquire, and it looks like I may have did good. :)<br /> I'll be looking forward to your post as well.</p>

<p><br /> ~Jack</p>
