Elvis's cameras

Post by AaronElvis »

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone may be able to help with some research I am undertaking into some of the more obscure aspects of his life and career.

I'm curently looking into what cameras he owned and used both in personal life and during his movies. I know he used a number of different cameras in Live a Little, Love a Little in 1968. Some of them look like Leica and Rolleiflex, I know there are also photos of him with a speed graphic large format camera and that he owned a Polaroid Land Camera. Is there anyone who is able to confirm any further details please? Models, dates, etc., would be gratefully appreciated and recieved.

Thank you all on advance.

what an interesting topic.

Elvis loved all kinds of tech - just imagine if he had lived to the home computer era!

November 23, 1955: Elvis went shopping in Memphis at Ed's Camera Shop at 1279 Madison Avenue. Elvis spent over $600 dollars on a projector, a personal home movie camera, and other various pieces of equipment. Ed's was established in 1946.
