What it is

{"overview":"The Sakura Seiki Petal is a Japanese subminiature camera introduced in the late 1940s, notable for its disc-shaped body and circular film format. Check that the tiny circular film disc holder and any original case, instruction sheet or presentation box are present, as completeness materially affects the price a Petal sells for.

Questions

Why is the value of some Petal cameras so much higher than others?

The Petal was made in small numbers, so collectors pay a premium for examples with original case, film discs and presentation materials, while plain bodies with wear sell for a fraction of that value.

Is the Sakura Seiki Petal a good user camera?

No — it is bought almost exclusively as a collector's piece, because the circular film is not commercially available and service support is effectively non-existent.
