How We Grade Our Cameras

We restore, test, and clean all of our cameras to ensure that despite its age, your Cute Camera works as well as it would have if purchased it in 1976. This means that you’ll be able to capture your soulmate’s smile, your puppy dog’s eyes, or the sunset of your last day at college – straight out of the box. 

VERY GOOD:

A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

GOOD:

A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

AVERAGE:

An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black
specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

Great camera, great service!

The camera I received was in great condition and looked basically brand new. I tested out the first roll of film on it, which came back with light leaks on many images. I reached out to Cute Camera Co and they initiated a free and easy return/ replacement. Their customer service reached back out to ask if I would be okay with a repair on the original camera I ordered (since it was in great condition otherwise), they fixed the back door and resealed the edges. No more light leaks! The turnaround time was so fast, I probably got my camera back less than two weeks after the original return. Such great customer service, quick responses and great communication! So happy with my dream camera! :)

Great camera!

I bought the average quality Canon AE-1. It came with what I would consider to be great quality. Very few imperfections.

I ran through two test rolls of film. First black and white second Kodak 400. They were both lovely. The camera seems to be in perfect shape.

Would highly recommend going this way to get one of these older film cameras!
