The Darling-16 is a Japanese subminiature camera produced by Shincho Seiki Co. It uses the 16mm subminiature film format and falls into the post-war collector category of pocketable novelty cameras.

Auction data for the Darling-16 is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom hammer result on file is £540 from a Christie's sale in 2005, so a reliable median or range cannot be quoted for today's market. Buyers asking what a Darling-16 is worth in 2026 should treat that historic figure as a single data point rather than a current price guide, as values for 16mm subminiatures are highly condition- and completeness-sensitive at auction.
