Camp Snap Camera: Is It Worth the Money?

I bought a Camp Snap Camera so you don't have to, unless you want to.

I’ve been thinking of getting one of these for my girlfriend, she loves that vintage feel and is always adding filters to pictures. I think that this would be a great little gift for her, thanks for the video.

[@ShotByJAllen]

They really are cool little cameras. I can see them being super useful for everyday stuff, especially for someone not overly concerned with resolution. I'm betting she'll love it! If resolution is important to her, you can pick up some decent cameras for around the same price, maybe a little more. Old Fuji point and shoots are great options! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for checking it out!

[@CodenameCalCarver]

Well done, Brother. I may pick one up next time I head into the woods to bury stuff and look for Squatch.

This is great. Thank you for sharing. Editing is on point

I think the photos look awesome. I like the whole point of just taking a photo, and seeing what it looks like later. It's a suprise seeing what you get and you don't really get that with photography nowadays. In a world of everything being quick, it's good to get that old style of point and shoot back. I think the best photos are in the moment and raw.

[@ShotByJAllen]

I really love the concept of it a lot! My only real gripe is the resolution. I'd prefer something exactly like this with maybe 16MP or so just for the extra detail. But overall, it's a great experience using it.

@@ShotByJAllen I have one coming in the mail here soon, I may make a video on how the photos turn out. Have you seen or experimented with the film settings they have online?

[@ShotByJAllen]

@@samrandom-ps4qi I have seen them but haven't used them yet. I shoot a lot of black and white so I may boot that up into it sooner than later instead of converting it in a Lightroom. It's a pretty nifty little camera, my kids really like it. I'll probably carry it for a few weeks and see what I get with it.

First time i clicked on a small channel youtube video and it was worth it, i like this review a lot

[@ShotByJAllen]

I'm glad you found someone you enjoyed! Thanks for checking the channel out, it's still a work in progress but she's coming along!

@@ShotByJAllen you are doing it at a high level

[@jasmachugh4222]

It actually does have the Vintage filter pre installed on it now, so there is a filter downloaded. I opened both of mine and removed the speakers and added sharpie to the LEDs to dim them.

[@ShotByJAllen]

Oh, well that didn't come in my instructional booklet, my bad! I might toss the black and white on next and see how it goes. I've still been using it daily as an everyday carry camera, but I'm beginning to think I might prefer my old Canon. Might switch back to that after I get done shooting the film camera episode that's gonna be coming out.

[@AverageFirewoodDad]

I could use that for all my luscious firewood cutting.

Some high-grain end grain.

@@ShotByJAllen It’ll all be Pine. 😄

There is a firmware download for this now that removes the sound.

[@ShotByJAllen]

I very much enjoy this firmware update! Glad Camp Snap has addressed the issue.

[@Vinsternator40]

Pick up an E-mount from Dispo lens and see how that works for you and your Sony. I use it on my A7III and LOVE it!

[@ShotByJAllen]

I've been eyeing those lately and just haven't gotten around to picking one up yet! I shoot on the A7iii as well, do you have any samples of your work with it?

[@Vinsternator40]

@@ShotByJAllen None that I’ve posted yet. But I actually just took it on a hike and the pictures came out amazing. I set my camera to auto since I just wanted to point and shoot. There’s no control over the focal length,so pretty much anything 6 feet in front of you and beyond is clear. I’d say for 60 bucks. It’s well worth it because I also use a Pentax lens with an e-mount adapter and although I can control the focal length with that one, the pictures are almost the same except I didn’t need to buy a lens and an adapter.

[@ShotByJAllen]

@@Vinsternator40 I might pick one up soon and give it a go. I've shot a little more with the Camp Snap, and while it's fun and convenient, the lack of resolution is rough.

[@ZachOrton.]

How do I get the pics off

[@ShotByJAllen]

Use a USB-C to USB-C/USB cable to connect it to your computer. I've heard you can use your phone but I've never tried it.

[@daliamosesp]

were you sponsored by camerasnap, why was my comment about the cost of this camera deleted?

[@ShotByJAllen]

I was not, and haven't deleted any comments unless KZbin did it themselves for some reason.

[@moldo.cel.barbos]

grab a sony rx100

[@ShotByJAllen]

For awhile I was debating between the Ricoh GRiii and the RX100, but was in need of a backup hybrid in case the A7iii died on me, so I ended up with an A6600 for now.
