So there's a fight scene, and someone just happens to have a camera. Not only is the camera useful for snapping photographs, it's one more possible weapon out of many already present in the scene. If the camera isn't being used to physically bonk people over the head, the flash can be used to momentarily blind them. In some rare cases, the effectiveness of the camera as a weapon has to do with superstition on the part of the person whose picture gets taken ("You stole my soul!"). An Art Attacker may have one of these as their weapon. When the camera's offensive properties go beyond just the flash or a simple bludgeon, it's likely a Magical Camera or Shoe Phone. Subtrope of Improvised Weapon. |

Simon Bar Sinister of Underdog created a special camera in "Simon Says" (his first-ever appearance in the show), that, when it hits the victim, turns said victims into photographs, and he intended to do so to our hero and Sweet Polly and then kill them both by tearing up their photographs. Underdog defeated Simon by employing a mirror to make the ray bounce back towards him. The effects are reversible by switching the lens in the opposite direction. | |

Kolchak: The Night Stalker "Bad Medicine". When Kolchak takes pictures of a diablero, it flees to protect its eyes from the bright light from the camera's flashbulb. Subverted in "They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be...". Kolchak thinks the monster is adversely affected by the light from his camera's flash bulb. It actually turns out to be vulnerable to the sound the camera's recharger makes after the flash. |

In the horror film Don't Be Afraid of the Dark in 2011, Sally was given a Polaroid SX70 OneStep camera by Kim. During the dinner party hosted by her father, she went to photograph proof of the Fairy Fold monsters. However, she becomes locked up in the library and has to keep the Fairy Fold away from her with the flashes until her father finds a way in. | |

In Charles Stross' The Laundry Files, the CCTV cameras ubiquitous across England can be turned into "look-to-kill" weapons, operating on the same principle as basilisks, gorgons, etc. It says something about how bad a full-scale invasion by Eldritch Abominations is expected to be that killing (by petrifying and/or cooking) most of Britain's population is considered the better option. | |

In Spelunky, from the HD remake onward you can find a camera that causes a Blinding Camera Flash in a box in front of you, stunning and disorienting most enemies (including the otherwise invincible and infallible Ghost, if only for a brief moment) and outright killing most undead enemies, including skeletons and vampires. | |

At the 1993 King Of The Ring PPV, Hulk Hogan was defending the WWF title against Yokozuna. Near the end of the match, a photographer shot a fireball out of his camera, hitting Hogan in the face and allowing Yokozuna to get the win and regain the title. | |
