Praktica's 1990s focus-free Sport compact — motorised film handling, auto flash, point-and-shoot simplicity.
The Praktica Sport SK320 was a 1990s 35mm compact from the Praktica Sport series, the budget focus-free line sold under the old Dresden badge after Praktica moved from SLR manufacture into imported point-and-shoots. It sat at the simplest end of the range, below the brand's autofocus compacts, and was sold in several body colours including a green edition.
It pairs a fixed-focus lens with fully automatic operation: a built-in motor loads, advances and rewinds the film, exposure is set automatically, and the built-in flash fires automatically in low light. There are effectively no user controls beyond the shutter button and power switch. Detailed lens focal length and aperture figures are not published in the sources consulted and are omitted.
It suits beginners, parties and holiday snapshots where zero-thought operation matters more than image control. Fixed focus means subjects from a couple of metres to infinity are acceptably sharp in good light, but close portraits and dim interiors beyond flash range show the camera's limits quickly.
These are battery-dependent and will not fire dead, so test power-up, motor wind and flash charge with fresh cells before buying. Listings frequently describe untested examples; check the battery compartment for alkaline corrosion, the film door for a positive latch, and confirm the frame counter and rewind complete a full cycle.
