A foldable camera having a base housing containing a self-developing film unit, and an upper housing including an objective lens. The housings extend generally parallel to each other, and in the folded inoperative position, the upper housing overlies and engages the lower housing forming a compact unit. In moving between the folded and unfolded positions, the upper housing moves through planes generally parallel to the base housing, such action being provided by a linkage. A foldable flash unit is movable between a folded inoperative position extending over the upper housing and covering the objective lens, and an unfolded position projecting above the upper housing to expose a flash. In one preferred embodiment, a viewfinder housing is mounted by a linkage to the upper housing for movement between a folded inoperative position extending in a passage formed in the upper housing and an unfolded operative position projected above and extending generally parallel to the upper housing and exposing a viewfinder lens located in the viewfinder housing.
