"box camera"的定义和意义

What is a "box camera"?

A box camera is a simple type of camera with a basic rectangular or box-shaped design. It typically has a fixed-focus lens, a single shutter speed, and minimal controls, making it easy to use. Box cameras were popular in the early 20th century for their affordability and simplicity, often used by amateur photographers for taking everyday snapshots. The design is straightforward, with the camera's internal components enclosed in a box, and it usually captures images on roll film.
