Shot like it's 2003
Point, press, done. Seven retro modes are built into the camera itself, so what you shoot is what you get. Grainy, flash-lit, a little imperfect. Exactly the way photos looked before everything got polished.
Parties, festivals, road trips, random Tuesdays. It clips to your keys and weighs less than a chocolate bar, so it's actually with you when the moment happens.

had one of these in high school
i had a camera almost exactly like this and lost it somewhere around 2011. did not expect to feel anything about a $28 keychain but here we are. the photos look right
Bianca T.
took it to lisbon
brought this instead of dragging my actual camera around for a week. weighs nothing, nobody looks twice at it, and the shots came out better than the ones on my phone. not what i expected going in
Marco S.
people kept asking about it
three separate people asked me what it was the first weekend i had it. one of them ordered one before we even left the bar
Devon R.
basement party energy
the flash is doing most of the work here and i'm fine with that. shots from last saturday look like they came off a disposable somebody found in a drawer
Kofi A.
no reason not to have it on you
it's on my keyring next to my house key and i genuinely stopped noticing the weight after day one
Sasha P.
screen is small but
solid. screen could be bigger, i squint at it. the actual photos are exactly what i was hoping for so i'm not complaining much
Chris T.
birthday gift, ended up buying two
got it for my sister. she's taken like 200 photos in a week and now i've ordered one for myself so. worked out well for you guys i suppose
Amara J.
denver to austin
drove it across three states last month. vintage mode makes a gas station at 11pm look like a scene from something. charged it once the entire trip
Tyler B.
black and white is underrated
nobody talks about the b&w setting. it's the one i use most. makes a completely boring tuesday afternoon look like i meant it
Elena V.
cherry
the red is better in person than in the photos. three of my friends have since ordered different colors so we can tell whose is whose at parties
Noah F.
card was already in the box
was in the middle of adding a memory card to my cart somewhere else when i noticed one comes with it. meant i could use it the day it showed up instead of waiting around
Isabel M.
took me a minute to figure out
menu is basic and it took a few goes to find where the filters live. after that you never think about it again. manual could've been clearer
Marcus D.
stopped using my phone at parties
hard to explain but these feel like actual memories instead of stuff to post. everyone i've shown gets it immediately
Zoe H.
concert photos!!
stage lights plus the flash is exactly the look. also small enough that it wasn't a problem at the door
Leah S.
the video mode though
came for photos, ended up using the video more. short clips in vintage mode look like old camcorder footage. wasn't expecting that at all
Andre P.
monday to thursday
ordered monday, had it thursday. small box, nothing rattling around, no complaints
Hannah W.
duo was worth it
did the two camera thing with my friend for a weekend away. comparing what we each shot on the drive back was honestly half the fun. wouldn't have gotten that with one
Camila O.
filled the card fast
the free 32gb filled up quicker than i thought, but that's on me for shooting video instead of photos. swapped a bigger one in and it was fine. camera itself has no issues
Ryan C.
sunset test
tried it at sunset on the beach and the colors came out way warmer than my phone did. that's the entire reason i bought it
Nina A.
charges off my phone cable
usb c so it uses the same cable as everything else. one less thing in the bag. full charge takes under an hour
Owen L.
newsprint is the one
everyone talks about cherry but the newsprint one is way better in person, all that newspaper texture actually reads at this size. got compliments on the camera itself before anyone even saw a photo from it
Priya M.
mondrian on a keyring looks unreal
bought the mondrian one mostly because i liked the box design lol. didn't expect to actually use it every day but here we are, it's clipped to my backpack now
Felix H.
sunset stripe fades a little
the colors on the sunset stripe one are slightly less bold than the photos on the site, still looks good, just a touch more muted. camera works exactly like it should
Jordan K.
rainbow one for my daughter
got the rainbow colorway for my 12 year old and she has not put it down since. she figured out the filters faster than i did honestly
Danielle P.
memphis pattern hides scuffs well
this thing has been in and out of pockets and bags for two months and the pattern kind of hides the wear, unlike a friend's solid color one that already looks scratched up
Theo B.
thermal mode is just fun
no real reason to use thermal other than it's funny, took a picture of my dog and he looked like a heat signature from a spy movie. kids will love this one
Micah L.
sketch mode on a skateboard trick
caught my friend mid air on the sketch setting and it looks like a page out of a zine. printed it and put it on my wall actually
Wes O.
comic mode at a bbq
used comic mode on a group shot at a cookout and it turned everyone into a cartoon, in a good way. group chat lost it when i sent it
Renata S.
negative film mode late at night
negative film mode with city lights at 1am is genuinely the best combo on this camera, everything looks inverted and a little eerie in a way that fits the vibe
Callum D.
origin mode still gets used
i thought i'd only shoot filtered but origin mode with no filter is what i reach for half the time, the sensor itself already has that flat little quality to it
Ines G.
wedding guest photos
brought it as a guest to a friend's wedding, not the photographer, just for fun, and half the reception ended up wanting to borrow it for a shot
Adaeze N.
works fine in the cold
used it skiing in january, kept it in my jacket pocket, battery held up fine even in the cold which i wasn't sure about going in
Sven A.
clip could be sturdier
the little keyring loop feels slightly thin, i'm careful with it. hasn't failed yet after a few months but i notice it every time i clip it on
Gabriela R.
gift for my roommate
got this as a random gift for my roommate's birthday and now i want one too, which is annoying because i was trying to save money this month
Yusuf T.
camping trip test
took it camping with no service for four days, no issues charging off a power bank, vintage mode photos of the campfire came out better than expected
Harper J.
packaging is nicer than i expected
the box alone made this feel like more than a $38 purchase, kept it on my shelf instead of throwing it out which never happens with stuff i order online
Mateus F.
refund was easy when i needed it
ordered two colors to compare, sent one back within the 30 days, refund showed up in about a week with zero back and forth
Corinne W.
smaller than i pictured
knew the dimensions going in but it's still funny how small this actually is next to a normal camera, fits in a coin pocket on jeans
Dashawn Q.
good for a work event
brought it to a company mixer as a joke and it ended up being the most used camera there all night, better than anyone's phone for the low light
Simone K.
two colors, two vibes
have the memphis and the sunset stripe now and genuinely reach for different ones depending on the night, which sounds ridiculous but it's true
