Are you going to put photos of these in the equipment section? What is the main difference between a folder and These "Box" cameras?Besides the obvious shape

This camera has waist level finder and it's mirror genuine picture. Folder camera has view or rangefinder and they are smaller. This makes 6x6 , folders can make all format from 6x4,5 to 6x6 , 6x9 I have top folders what are makes better quality images like Voigtlander Bessa RF Heliar, Skopar etc. Also I have Pentax 645 with tons of P6 lenses.

I owned one just like this and it took amazingly good pictures. I finally bought another a couple months ago -- not the "G" just the plain 124. And I love it. Here's a link to a thread of mine here with some photos (scroll all the way down for all the photos):

Very nice looking camera.
In many ways it looks more professional than many Rolleiflex I have seen.

As Attila said, there are many types of folders available... but on the majority of them, there is no focus aid at all: you guess, you measure, or you use an auxiliary range finder. The best ones have the rf.
On the box shaped side, there also are many types: the actual "Box Camera" which is just that, a box with a little peephole or two to help aim and frame... mostly these box cameras have no focus provision at all, single or at most a couple of speeds and apertures... they became the 'focus free' cameras and Instamatics of later years...
A step up are the TLRs - the cheaper ones also don't focus, but you have a better view finder than with a basic box.
The frame shape is 99+ % a square - it's awkward to turn one of these on its side to get a different frame orientation. The 'real' TLRs focus - so you can focus and frame with a convenient, though reversed, viewfinder.
The TLR was the professional camera for several years, given its rapid use and fairly accurate framing. It was eventually pushed out by SLRs - the Hasselblad and the Nikon F.

i think cheapest way to try TLR is to get flexaret or rolleiflex standart. they go really cheap, and pictures are amazing. this rolleiflex has superb lens, almost as sharp stopped down as later models. and flexaret makes also nice pictures, not sharp but dreamy-like. nice for portraits. TLR is also great to learn basics of photography and composition, for its simpleness
