Do cameras exist in Golarion?

[Yqatuba]

I know most of the planet is medieval-level technology, but there are some places (like Alkenstar) which are closer to Victorian-age, and the first camera was invented in 1888, so do they exist on Golarion?

I don’t believe so (though cameras obscura are ancient IRL), but I think there’s security cameras across Numeria.

I expect a Discworld-type camera with an imp in a box exists somewhere.

It's a different world - just because it seems equivalent to certain times and places in the real world, doesn't mean it has all of the same technologies as those times/places.

Cameras date from the 1830s. Do you really want late 1800s tech in Golarion? Majestic class battleships anyone?

[Rysky]

Just because you have one doesn’t mean you linearly have to have the other, you can have cameras and typewriters without battleships (we have airships already). It’s another planet/reality, but one that also links to early 19s Earth as well.

Fun fact, Nintendo is older than Dracula.

Fun fact, Nintendo started as a playing card manufacturer.

Recording Rods, Zebubs, and a number of Scrying spells could fill camera functions on Golarion

Camera-equivalent things do exist, but almost universally in the form of rare magic items or rarer technological items. They're not things you can easily find for sale though.
