{"product_id":"kyocera-finecam-sl300r-1","title":"Kyocera Finecam SL300R","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eKyocera built the Finecam SL300R in 2003 around a single constraint: make it 15mm deep without folded optics. The solution was a swivel body — the lens panel rotates 90 degrees to open, collapsing flat when closed. The result: the thinnest camera of its era with a genuine f\/2.8 aperture, fast enough for dim rooms without flash in a body that fit flat in a shirt pocket. Behind the Kyocera name: the same company that made Contax and Yashica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eNO FILTER: SHOT ON SL300R\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"270\" width=\"361\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/KIF_6999.jpg?v=1776948947\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"271\" width=\"203\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/KIF_7002.jpg?v=1776948956\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"270\" width=\"360\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/KIF_7012.jpg?v=1776949043\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"270\" width=\"203\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/KIF_7022.jpg?v=1776949076\"\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE LOOKS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eClosed, the SL300R is 100 × 63 × 15mm of brushed aluminum — flat, pocketable, almost featureless. Open, the lens panel swings forward 90 degrees: lens, flash, and self-timer LED on the rotating front, controls and 1.5-inch LCD on the fixed rear. The shape change between off and on is more dramatic than any sliding cover or extending barrel. You have to see it work to understand why it exists. One color: silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE SPECS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe f\/2.8 maximum aperture at 38mm wide is the headline — fast enough to shoot in dim indoor light without flash, at a time when most compacts at this size were a full stop slower. That aperture, combined with the 15mm depth, was the spec that made the SL300R stand out. The 3.17-megapixel CCD and 3.3× zoom spanning 38–115mm covered everyday shooting well at base ISO. RTUNE processor enabled 3.5fps burst. VGA video up to 12 seconds. ISO 100–800. SD and CF card support. 100 × 63 × 15mm, 175g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDESIGN HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwivel body achieving 15mm depth without folded optics:\u003c\/strong\u003e the lens panel rotates 90° from the display panel — a mechanical solution that was unique in 2003 and remains so.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRTUNE processor enabling 3.5fps burst at launch:\u003c\/strong\u003e claimed world's fastest in a consumer compact in 2003, via 16-bit A\/D processing that reduced color noise at the analog stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrushed aluminum on a 100 × 63 × 15mm body:\u003c\/strong\u003e the material choice lifted the SL300R well above what the 3.17MP spec suggested in terms of feel and perceived quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE VERDICT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe SL300R's image quality is 2003 entry-level — 3.17MP, 1.5-inch LCD, limited ISO range — and it shows. That's not why it's worth owning. The swivel mechanism is a piece of design thinking that solved a real problem in an unexpected way, the brushed aluminum build is well above the spec's station, and the RTUNE processor's 3.5fps burst was a legitimate differentiator at launch. An odd camera that earned its oddness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kyocera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57230809858423,"sku":null,"price":349.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/IMG_8980_result.jpg?v=1782637902","url":"https:\/\/bling-inc.com\/products\/kyocera-finecam-sl300r-1","provider":"Bling Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
