Kodak has just dropped something tiny and nostalgic, meet the Charmera, a keychain digital camera that channels the carefree vibe of 80’s disposables.
It weighs about 30 grams, measures 2.2 inches across, shoots both stills and HD video. It includes a date stamp, vintage filters, and Kodak-style frames built in.
You can’t pick the color though, it comes in blind box packaging with seven designs. One is rare, transparent so you can see the guts.
At $29.99, the Charmera isn’t for photographers wanting perfection. Instead, it’s for those chasing fun, surprise, and style.
Whoever did the retro graphics did their homework, and we appreciate the vintage charm of the design.
While this doesn’t use film, it does strip away the modern screen-based conveniences, and have you focus on your subject.
Not knowing exactly what style you’ll get makes the purchase feel like its own adventure.
One of the preset filters puts a retro image editing interface over the frame.
It’s so small you can easily fit four into your hand.
Feeling overwhelmed by negative news, and scary headlines? We are, too. 😔

The camera sold out in less than 24 hours, it seems Kodak is on to something.
Good idea. should come in handy when needed.
Editors: Change “Whomever did the retro graphics” to “Whoever did the retro graphics.” Your images are great, so your grammar should be, too.
