I asked Santa Claus to get me the Camp Snap camera for Christmas, and the jolly man in red delivered. I saw ads for this camera pop up on Instagram, and I was intrigued by the idea of a digital camera that has no screen. You can't see the photos as you take them. I also liked that the images out of camera have a "filmic" look to them so it's possible to just run with the SOOC jpegs.
I had quite a back log of cameras to try out for this channel, but I finally got a chance to take it out on a couple of photo walks in north downtown Omaha earlier this spring. The camera feels cheap but sturdy and there's something nice about not really worrying about shoving it in a sling or a coat pocket and damaging it. I also love this because I can hand it to my kids and not worry one bit about them dropping it.
So what I do I love about this camera?
1. Simplicity
2. Durability
3. Mystery - you can't see your photos on the camera
This alone makes it worth it to give to your kids or even use yourself in situations where you want a camera that can take stylistic photos but you don't have to worry about - the beach, on a hike, etc.
What's not to love about this camera?
1. It's slow
2. It can't really handle high dynamic range situations well
3. It's so light it's hard to keep straight when you take a picture
The shutter on this is incredibly slow. Even for a composed shot with people posing it feels slow. So shooting street photography with this? Not a great idea. This was my biggest frustration - I felt like I missed so many shots because I'd press the shutter and a full second later it would take the pictures. I have many photos of the ground because I pulled the camera away too soon.
If you're shooting into a shadowy area and the bright sky is visible in frame, you are going to have a blown out sky and completely lifted shadows. This camera will jack the ISO and drop the shutter speed to perfectly expose a shadowy area if that's where you're aiming the camera.
There's no "half press" of the shutter button to meter for the light you want to expose for so you can recompose your shot. I do this often with digicams where I'll meter for the sky but then reframe the image to shoot toward a shadowy area. You can't do that with this camera.
You'll notice a lot of the photos of the sides of buildings are crooked. This happens because I feel like I have to press the shutter really hard because it's slow to take (my brain thinks if I press harder it will take the picture faster) but then the camera is so light that pressing the shutter knocks the camera out of level and I have a horribly composed image.
If you're trying to make serious work with digicams or funky digital cameras, I'd probably avoid this one and save it for situations where you're at the beach, you're out in the elements and want something for personal memories that you don't have to worry about.

What do you think of these SOOC images? Aside from some of my terrible compositions when I was trying to shoot the side of a few buildings...

These videos are absolutely lovely. With the soothing music and the warm, hazy photos, it’s wonderful to watch them through the first time. And they help me fall asleep at night, too. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
Comments like these are a gift. I couldn’t be happier that my vibe videos resonate with you. And I love that they’re with you in those moments between awake and sleep when reality gives way to the realms of the unconscious. Thank you for commenting 🙌
Very nice images and a neat little camera but...these are now $90 USD on their website and they used to $65. I have a tiny HP Photosmart 5.0mp point & shoot fixed lens camera with a CCD sensor an optical viewfinder and a tiny LCD screen on the back. The screen on the back is really only "usable" to access the camera's setup menu. It works great with 2 rechargeable AA batteries and you can use an SD card to store several 1000 images on it. It pretty much does the same as this "Camp Snap" camera.
I picked up for $15 for off eBay.
Thanks! I'm still seeing the Camp Snap for sale on their website for $65 but I'm sure there are other places where it's going for $90 or more due to high demand and low supply.
But you're absolutely right - there are plenty of very inexpensive old digicams that have unusable screens but reliable optical viewfinders and you can basically get the same thing for much less.
$15 is a small price to pay for simple digicam stills - especially with a CCD sensor. Thanks for watching!
I love your videos fr ♡
Thank you for saying so 🙌
How did you get those moving effects in your pictures?
It’s part of a plug-in by MotionVFX called mFilm Matte. It’s a simple “Zoom In” adjustment layer.
