This camera has blown up my instagram and comment section these last two months and it was too intriguing to ignore. Basically a camera originally marketed for kids (still sorta is?) but now has found a market with young adults who want the screen free lofi digital experience. Is it the next best thing in the digicam trend? Or a total waste of money?
By the way, I forgot to mention in the video but to be clear I bought this camera myself and am no way affiliated with Camp Snap. It's a family owned business with a wholesome backstory and I wish them the best!

I handed my 4 year old a disposable camera, and she had so much fun taking photos with it. The lack of a screen removed an element of distraction, and seemed to help her focus on the idea of taking a good photo. But yeah, in this case, that shutter lag is just atrocious.

One reason why it exists is to offer something available new. Zillions of people will never buy a used "anything," because if they're in the market for something so limited they're barely invested in the endeavor to begin with.

Fwiw you can snag a good early 2010s point and shoot digital camera (NOT DSLR) and a kastar battery for less than the cost of this thing and still get photos like that. I was surprised how different pictures from an early 2010s camera are than a recent phone while i was re-setting up my mother's 2012 Fijifilm digital camera. Set the wrong aperture and you're ready to go. Can't say for kids, other than my sister and I always had our parents hand-me-down digital cameras when we were younger. Even models i wouldn't have given to a kid but they survived us so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I appreciate that you explain pros and cons for the stated demographic and for people just wanting it for funsies on the gram. The lack of screen and overall durability are big selling points for me and my kid's getting one for christmas this year simply because she can take it with her in the neighborhood and it's not likely to break or get stolen, like my old lumix lx3. Which, she's careful and uses my lx3 a fair bit, so something simple for playing with friends is great and I can always help with slightly cropping/leveling and tone adjustments. Love the suggestions you make, as those make a lot of sense for kids or adults and the idea of a few simple profile settings would be killer.

the shutter lag drives me crazy but then I remind myself that most of my digicams take an eternity to lock focus before they let me release shutter anyway. It is baffling that my Pentax Ei100 from the 90s is focus-free and has almost no shutter lag but somehow this camera I got in 2023 doesn't.... Much like you, the first thing I did was remove my speaker. I put it back in after a day because I couldn't tell when it actually took the picture. I still like it though, it is as close as I've ever gotten to my ideal digicam.

I was so close to buying this camera a few weeks ago. The main reason was the nostalgic look of the photos. But then I found out about adapting the lens from a disposable camera to a new mirrorless camera. It's a super cheap option and it imitates the look of a cheap old camera pretty well without the downsides like cheap build quality or the shutter delay.

So weird comment, but I live in Scotland and have for the last 24 years, married, kids the lot. But before I moved over here, I grew up in Iowa, not just anywhere in Iowa, but in Agency, IA right next to Ottumwa. My dad was a Knight of Columbus and my first job outside of mowing lawns was to work at the Knights of Columbus on Friday's at the Steak and Fish fry cleaning tables and what not. So that image at 4:33 was a hell of a blast from the past. Actually I just finished the video and saw all of the old Ottuwma links like the restored Capri theatre and the train station. It actually got me sitting on google street view for a while there. I should get back to work. But thanks for the blast from the past.

This would be so amazing, that or a full frame sensor you could stick in any old film camera you wanted. To this day I haven't seen anything quite like a digital version of my old Olympus XA. There's the Ricoh GR, but it doesn't have rangefinder focusing, and there's the Leica M9, M10, and M11, but they cost more than my car and aren't any smaller than my current mirrorless camera.

Reminds me of the Yashica Y35 - though that camera was marketed directly at hipsters instead of kids (and was quite overpriced for what it offered). However it does have changeable filters (via "digifilm"), filter threads, and a sweet shutter crank. It has a 14MP 1/2.5″ sensor.

Yup - a strap lug would be very useful. Kind of odd that there's so much shutter lag. The Ricoh GR's snap mode is pretty quick. Even three times slower than the GR would still be quick. Good way to teach kids patience though. "You have to wait for the snap sound!" And if you want to pack kids off for a month or two in the summer, it's a great toy, especially if they don't have phones yet. Nice vid. I can hear people shouting already though. "Is it CCD or CMOS?" and "The low resolution adds an organic authenticity to the child's eye of the world..." or some such.

I got one of these for my 8 year-old daughter for Christmas, as it was relatively cheap and should prove durable in the hands of a child. The image quality isn't great but it works okay as it leans towards a stylised look. I've been throwing a Lightroom preset over the shots from it in order to lean into that a bit more. The shutter lag is by far its biggest weakness. Most of the time my daughter manages with it okay but like you say, sometimes she tries for action shots and that just isn't happening. Forcing the flash on may help with that, though. The lack of something to loop a strap through is pretty baffling as well. I think the main benefit over an older digital compact is ease of connectivity - you just need a USB-C lead to hook this up to a PC or tablet and you're good to go. I have several old digicams and they all have varying flavours of memory card, some of which are entirely obsolete so I would need to through several steps to get the photos from the camera to the big Android tablet we use for photo editing. I'm hoping this camera has been successful as I feel like there's potential for a truly great kids camera in there.

Thanks for the quick review. I've been asking the company in FB for weeks to offer up some more information about the sensor. Guess now we know. You should DIY your own camerathingie from an Arduino or Raspberry Pi and one of those lens/sensor kits and market it as the HappySnapper. Every time the user turns it off, it plays a recording of you saying "happy snappin'." The sky's the limit with the great features you could pack into it and I'd definitely get a James Warner Original Camera-Type Product for $65. I hope one of the toggles would literally say "Film-Like Look" vs. "Digital Look" and another would be a dial specifying which year the picture should look like, from 1993 to 2005, and basically just make it digressively noisier the earlier the choice. And it'd be awesome if it had a fake aperture ring that actually spun, but obviously didn't do anything but be a fun fidget widget. I say all this as I admire today's special arrival: Olympus Camedia C-5050 for $33. Doesn't get much digier.

When im using this camera, i'm not hoping for the best quality, and if i want i can use one of my good cameras. The thing i like here is that you don't focus on the result, because you can't see it. At the end of the day i'm not hoping for a good photo, i just want to capture the moment, not caring about the composition or else, and just bringing back souvenirs without focusing more in the photo than living the moment. Sure there are some improvements they could make, but i think i would recommended this camera, even to an adult !

i remember fantasizing about exactly this product last 2 year... trying with everything i already have for example putting my phone in a weird plastic box so i only can snap pictures on it and not look at the result... all with their flaws... this is an untapped niche really... i think 45usd is a bit expensive for something that does not have a real brand... but then again iremember back in 2004 you have the thumb drive which can take pictures... its almost like this

You heard it here 1st! Hurry because you don't want it to get better and dilute the experience. I would love a Lomography model for fun. LOL. It is so awful it's good. Now there is a head line!

Was having to set the metadata of the pictures an issue at all? I'm just imagining a kid coming back with a full SD card, that sure, are in ascending order of date taken. I'd probably do something like divide the amount of time between first day of camp to last day of camp by the number of pictures, and assume even increments? But I can't imagine the average user being confronted with a whole bunch of photos with no useful data information.

I'll stick with my Olympus E-M5 unless I got money to burn for the nostalgic-esque picture & maybe some tinkering. However I would buy it without hesitation as a gift for my young Niece! (But not this year, lol)

You can remove the lens and use a super high f stop and a manual focus lens. I tried 😭 (with my Chinese phone ) the phone cameras are crippled by bad lenses

That is a good question. I can see a date, but it is not an accurate one. I don't see any way to set the date (yet, their team seems really supportive of feedback so you can let them know)

I have had mine for a while. I like it. I wish it was heavier though. The pictures that come out of it are nice, except they tend to over sell the lowlight performance because it is hot garbage.

Thank you for mentioning the delay between shutter press and shot taken. I assumed it could be almost instant because there is no autofocus to wait on, but no other reviewer mentioned it and I've seen a lot of them. I'll stick to my trusty Canon Ixus 125hs. IDK if it counts as a 'digicam' bc it has a CMOS sensor and it's not that old but if you ever see one for really cheap I'd recommend it. I really like the look of the pictures it produces. Color rendition is very pleasant.

Good way to cash out on a trend by using some off the shelf components and a shell that is super simple tooling wise. Ricoh could maybe release an MX-1 mark ii that's the same overall design but with the 20mp 1-inch sensor of the LX10 with the multi-aspect ratio design like the LX100(ii). TBH, I'd be fine with an LX10 in an MX-1 or Q-S1 shell. I'd also be more than happy if it were a fixed 40mm equivalent lens at f2. People have shown they'll pay beyond stupid money for Fuji X100 anything (X100V's should not be selling used for more than twice I paid for my Leica CL in box at it's lowest). Bring out a 1-inch MX-1 mark ii at a lower price with a fixed 40mm leaf shutter lens or a similar zoom lens as the original at a much lower price than 1299 MSRP they were new, and they'll probably sell enough to make a profit (maybe not much more, definitely not Fuji Instax money). I'm kind of surprised Panasonic hasn't brought out an LX100.iii that's basically the same as the mark ii or even a restyled LX10 to cash in on the X100 craze.

Given the choice, if I had kids, I would have taught them how to use one of those cheap plastic point and shoot cameras, or a disposable camera by then. But for those who can't stand the idea of handling film, it is cute.
@LaskyLabs
@LaskyLabs 2 ай бұрын
Or maybe if somehow they don't know how to handle film by then (which means I would have failed as a parent) I could give them a 110 camera instead. Since 126 doesn't exist anymore and nothing beats a cartridge format like that for kids.

I love the idea and the aesthetics, it’s just too bad the photos look like a poor quality webcam from 20 years ago, hard pass if someone were to take the look of photos from an app like Sweet Film or Daze Cam and put them in a camera like this, that would be awesome and an instant buy.
