What's old is new again: Kodak Charmera













Wrote Mark Frauenfelder in Recomendo

The Kodak Charmera is a thumb-sized digital camera that clips onto your keychain and shoots gloriously lo-fi 1.6-megapixel photos and video.












My daugher has been taking amazing shots with it — the grainy, slightly washed-out images have a nostalgic, early-2000s digicam vibe that mocks the clinical perfection of phone cameras.

One catch: without a microSD card, it only stores 2 photos, so buy a cheap card to make it truly useful.

Check out the r/toycameras subreddit for lots of photos from the Charmera and its ilk.

How do you spell "retro?"

$34.99.

  1. Odd, I haven't heard of the Charmera here in Rochester, the home of Kodak. I guess they released it last year when we were in Montana.
