In 1983, the Rosley LTD Company in England had two Premier Disc cameras (the Premier PC-20 & PC-30, both with 12.5mm f2.8 lenses) rebadged and sold under the Rosley label -- which was a very common occurrence with many Disc cameras. Apparently, even though Rosley had some luck selling earlier 110 and 126 cameras, their Disc camera venture turned out to be a flop, and these two cameras are very hard to find -- but why would you want to look?
While it qualifies in many ways as an economy Disc camera, the PC-20 has a couple of advanced features that you would never expect to find in an economy Disc camera. The first, of course, is the motor drive, and the second is the built-in flash. The switch on the front has three setting: OFF which covers up the lens and viewfinder, SUN for daylight shots, and FLASH for indoors and dim light. So like other economy Disc cameras there is absolutely no adjustment in the exposure. The camera was sold under various nameplates, and appeared in different colors.
It's exactly the same as the PC-20, except that it adds a sensor to the front plate providing some automatic adjustment of the exposure. The camera was sold under various nameplates.
