In the XBLA port of Spelunky, there is a Camera item in some shops. The journal doesn't say anything much about it. It didn't seem to have any effect on the enemies I used it on, though it does stun damsels and I've heard it enrages shopkeepers.

Does this item have any useful purpose?

It stuns enemies as well providing you catch them in the "picture" box, and will light up dark levels when the flash goes off

I can also tell you from experience that people playing with you might not appreciate you flashing them repeatedly with it :)

Update: Just discovered it will kill undead and bats instantly too

  • It's true, most people don't appreciate being flashed :P

  • It will also anger the shopkeeper. So do not take his picture, no matter how dashing he may look.

    You can even stun the ghost (and get a great picture) with the camera.
