Luminous Pro Antique Camera
The Luminous Pro Antique Camera is an item that is available for your Sims to use during their career. It’s unlocked when your Sim has reached the fifth level of his artist career. You can use this item to take pictures of anything and then sell them. The more creative you are, the more money your photos will earn you. You can hang them on the wall or place them on the table. You can’t see your Sims’ faces while taking the pictures, however.
This vintage upright camera is an excellent choice for taking family photos, as it harkens back to a time when cameras didn’t fit in your pocket. You can even take snapshots of Sims around the house. You can sell the photos for simoleons or hang them up to display them in your home. The best part is that they look great on display! You can even display them in your Sim’s home with the Luminous Pro Antique Camera!
Crystal Clear Digital Camera
The Crystal Clear Digital Camera is the best camera in the game. However, it also has the highest price tag. This camera comes with many mods, including landscape and portrait modes. It also has zoom functionality, the ability to take small or large pictures, and flash control. It costs 2,015 simoleons, and can be found in the camera inventory. This camera is not difficult to use and is very useful.
The ChannonTec Outlaw SE can take portrait and landscape pictures, but it also takes panorama photos when you reach level 10. Its design resembles a mid-range compact camera, and it costs 85 simoleons. The SnapTastic camera, on the other hand, is similar to a toy camera. It has two channels and is recolorable, and it features a llama on the front.
SnapTastic Flimsy-Cam
The SnapTastic Flimsy-Camera resembles a cheap disposable camera that takes the worst quality photos. It can only take small portrait photos and panoramas at level 10, and it can only take photos in two colors.

The SnapTastic Flimsy-Camera is the basic camera in the game. You can buy it from any new location, although the best two models are located in Egypt. It is important that your Sim always has their camera with them at all times, especially while in the beginning of their adventure. While it may not be a big money maker, photography does provide some additional income to early level adventurers.
