I recently stumbled upon an inexpensive (currently $65 US) little digital camera called the "Camp Snap". (campsnapphoto.com)
It's an all plastic, 8MP digital camera with no screen. No adjustments. No focusing. LED flash. Basically a digital version of a drugstore disposable film camera. (Or a "digital Holga")
Lens is @42mm (35mm equivalent), f3.2. Shutter speed 1/33 sec - 1/800 sec. Auto ISO 100-800. These are rough guesstimates gleaned from online reviews. The Camp Snap web site has very little info.
The camera comes with a 4GB Micro SD card that holds @2,000 images. Battery is internal and charged via USB-C. (Cable included) A single charge is good for @400 images. Images are saved as JPEG only.
There are 3 different film styles available: Standard, Vintage Film and Black and White. You can only load one sim at a time, and you do it by plugging the camera into your computer and dragging the desired .BIN file (available on the Camera Snap web site) into the root directory of the SD card, then booting the camera while holding the shutter button for @ 2-3 sec.
While researching this camera, I was intrigued by the SOOC black and white simulations. They really look like B&W film! Great tones. Occasional blown highlights, but very much like a fine grained B&W film.
I took it out today in Brooklyn for a test run. These are all SOOC except that I added a little grain in Lightroom. The 8 MP JPEGS are a little "crunchy", but adding +25 of "grain" smoothed things out and really brought out the filmic look of the Camp Snap files.
I'll go out again with the Standard and Vintage Film sims, but for now these are just the B&W sim. (+ a little grain)
