What makes this camera worth it
The Kodak Charmera keychain digital camera is as tiny as you could imagine for a keychain, weighing only 30 grams. However, it's quite powerful as it supports photo and video taking and features an image output of 1440 x 1080.
Modeled after Kodak's signature single-use camera from 1987, it also allows you to toy around with four vintage Kodak frames and seven filters. Of course it has the date stamp as well for added nostalgia.
To note, there's seven different colors and styles available and you won't know which one you receive until you open the box, adding a little excitement to your unboxing. You'll have to purchase an SD card between one to 128GB to place in the camera as well. It also comes with a USB-C cable for easy charging.
What shoppers are saying about the Kodak Charmera keychain digital camera
āāāāā"I love this thing. My friends love this thing. Everyone who sees it looses their minds because it's real, it takes pictures and it takes videos. If you're looking to buy this, understand it's charming because of its low quality photos. It delivers entirely as expected in that regard. The video quality is also terrible, and again, it's part of the charm. The aesthetic, if you will. I genuinely enjoy using this thing, it's added a lot of entertainment to my life and the lives of those around me when I pull up to the function with this goofy little thing. And it is also capable of surprisingly good photos." — Amazon customer review
āāāāā"Very fun set of cameras. Bought it for a party, guests took a lot of pictures and found low image quality "charming". Works well for people who grew up in 2000s with 0.3-2mpx phone cameras. Design of these cameras is quite nostalgic and I liked this set more than another one, pretty much every design in this set was cool." — Amazon customer review
āāāāā"Great little camera! I have been having so much fun the last few weeks. The small size makes it easy to throw it in my pocket and using it instead of my phone. It keeps me more present and prevents me from. Getting lost in my phone doom scrolling. I got a second one for a friend and they also have enjoyed it. The fact that the pictures aren't perfectly clear gives it character. I just popped in an old compatible SD card. The blind box aspect was cool too I got the color I wanted. Even my friend got the color that he wanted. The price makes it a great gift." — Amazon customer review
