A friend told me he liked the name of his camera because "Minolta," he said, means "fields of waving grain," which he found appealing.

The first camera I came across as a child was a spotmatic. I still like the name, it sounds like a magic tool.

My Burke and James 5x7 is called "Grover". Sounds like either a dog's name or a president.

Any Nikon, just because of Paul Simon and the song Kodachrome.

Robot - just because
XPAN and Konica Big Mini- nicely descriptive

I like Vintage cameras that had long names, It was quite a personification when a camera name read like a given, middle and surname. 🙂

Balda Super Baldina
Agfa Super Isolette

Theres something regal about it that I personally find charming.

A popular Canon it seems...
