Usually only a few number of these cameras do not have the name, the camera will simply not be for sale. Such cameras can be called the true sense of the spy camera. The second category is spyware or modified for use with ordinary cameras, such cameras at the beginning of the design and production is not specifically designed for the spy mission, and they are many civilian products. But many of their features are agents who are valued and used it to complete the task of spy film. The most typical type of camera that is representative of "MINOX" camera. Mr. Rato push Asia Watesabo designed this camera's original intention, is not used in order to spy, he just wanted to design a can into a small pocket camera.
