Kodak releases $30 retro style keychain camera
The newly introduced Kodak "Charmera" weighs just 30 g and can take photos at 1.3 MP resolution and record videos at 30 fps.
Retro charm meets modern technology – this Kodak Charmera camera makes photography and video recording simple and joyful because it fits on a keychain and is always ready to take shots. You know what they say – the best camera is the one you have with you.
Seven adorable mini cameras are packed into a blind boxes, so you never know what style you’ll get. The camera costs just $30 and is a pretty powerful keychain toy. Kodak is one of those brands that almost effortlessly evokes nostalgia, and the Hong Kong-based company that makes retro products under the licensed brand has no problem capitalizing on that.
The Kodak Charmera is a toy camera that shamelessly emphasizes retro charm over functionality, although, we have to admit, it looks pretty cool and the quality isn’t the worst.
The new Kodak Charmera is a reimagination of a classic, featuring a 1 ⁄ 4 inch CMOS sensor, a 35mm f/2.4 lens, and creates images in 1440 x 1080; 1.6 MP – no high resolution photography, but that’s the point. And yes, it even records video!
Frames and filters
You’ll find a range of photo frames and filters, from classic B&W to Warm and Cool Tone filters, perfect for setting the mood or adding a creative twist. The Pixel Filter is a true standout, adding a graphic pop to everyday moments.
