I am going to buy one as soon as they hit the market in early Novemeber. I hope I get the 1987 edition. It's fire. Which one are you hoping to score?You are going to be getting one right /p/?You aren't gonna be a contrarian try hard no Charmera /p/haggot are you /p/? ISHYDDT
the whatnow?
>>4470128I bet you buy 7 of these and 4 of them are that gray onealso>No IBIS
>>4470128Yes. I was considering it. The blue one or the clear one is pretty cool. A modern digishitter may be pretty fun. It's actually difficult to find old digishits with such low MP.
>>4470128I'll wait until one shows up at the thrift store.Which is where I get all my cameras from.
>>4470131>. It's actually difficult to find old digishits with such low MPAgreed. The price is right too for a new snapshitter. Most of the old ones are busted/will be busted soon.I had an old Fuji that was 3.1mp that was fun. Sold it when old snapshitters went up in price. Wished I hadn't sometimes. Saw one in a 2nd hand store recently for cheap. Bought it and found the sensor was cooked.Few days later I saw an article about the Charmeras and decided to get one. They won't be actual vintage aesthetic but at least it will function correctly.
>>4470135You'll be waiting a long time. Charmeras are gonna be big. Collecting them will likely be a thing.
Good luck, they sold out within 8 minutes.Cruise eBay I'm sure a bunch were bought up by flippers and scalpers.
>>4470128I wasn’t keen until I saw it’s a keychain, that sold me.
>>4470137I'm in no rush. I'm not chasing trends.And if I need a tiny digishitter, I got my U20 in the meantime.
>>4470138That was just the presale to build hype. BHPhoto says they'll have them in stock sometime in November. Kodak needs to get their name out their for sales and pump profits. Doubtful the company won't be flush with stock heading into the holidays. These are gonna be a hit for stocking stuffers. Kodak is probably making a killing on them. Profit margin on a Charmera has got to be huge with an msrp of $30. Having them produced can't cost more than a few bucks.
>>4470141What's the pink one?
>>4470145Shitty kids camera that started turning up a few years ago. They've since evolved to include thermal printers, and more polished versions are available at Target and such now.Look up "kids camera" on your favorite China shopping site.
THEY DO ANYTHING BUT BRINGING KODACHROME BACK
>>4470152Film is dead. Let it go.
>>4470152Film is alive. Continue asking kodak to bring it back.
>>4470154>>4470155The duality of filman
>>4470152bro just get a z50ii and install a picture control preset with the exact color timing
>>4470155based>>4470154>>4470157fuck off retard
>>4470158Seethe filmlette.
>>4470158>The manchild can't let go of his nostalgia toysFilm is gone homie. It exists soley because of hollywood and one day your freezer-stored collection will run dry
>>4470158Film is here friend. Kodak, ilford, and other companies will continue making film in all sorts of formats. We will see a film resurgence!
>>4470131>It's actually difficult to find old digishits with such low MP.why not photoshop resize to 10% then resize back to 100%? same as shooting low MP
>>4470145kid's toy. my son has a based dino-themed one. it's pretty fun to shoot those. they lack a flash but I guess you shouldn't give a flash to 4yolds
>>4470189When most people goon over low MP what they normally mean is they want a CCD that caps out at ISO 1600. Also, resizing down then up can be extra destructive if you don't use the right methods.
>>4470189I would rather not use photoshop. I don't think it would have the same look as this either lol.
>>4470128totally the opaque one and park my bicyckle on grass
With all the nostalgia stuff going on these days I have to wonder if anyone will ever be nostalgic for anything in our current era.
>>4470287Depends what the future has to offer.
>>4470128OH NO NO NO NOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-SCkC74_VE
>>4470323Image quality looks like something you'd get from a 2004 budget phone.
>>4470323is this a fucking joke?
>>4470327It is. They could have made something that was actually usable, but this is just a shameless cash grab trying to capitalize on the nostalgia/digicam craze. It is e-waste from the get go.
>>4470328by OP's pic I had assumed they were the size of a classic 35mm point'n'shoot - maybe a little smaller. but fuck me - they really took that chink toy camera from above and put it in a kodak branded plastic case. it's literally the same. i even recognize the "filters/effects" from my kid's toy camera. this is a fucking webcam.
>>4470338It's what the people want.
>>4470338nah the chink toy camera its closer to 3MP so it give better and sharper images lmao.It also comes with games like tetris!
Just get the Camp snap camera instead
>>4470342>just get a huge coolie brick with a high resolution sensor and no rear view screen for more than twice the costNah. I'll stick with the affordable tiny charm sized low rez full featured snapshitter that can hang from my keychain. Thanks anyway.
>>4470323What an annoying bastard to listen to
>>4470340>gearfagging over toy cameraskek
>>4470323This just seems like more garbage to pollute the Earth with. What a waste.
Let me guess, you need more?
>>4470130KEK
>>4470128>I am going to buy oneHow about you buy an ad?
>>4470435WHAT ARE THOSE
>>4470128The marketing and design team did a great job. It's also well priced, not in the sense that recycled plastic with a 2005 flip phone camera is a good deal, but in the sense that people don't mind $29. I actually might pick one up for the pixel filters because the photos look like they were made with the photocopy degradation technique.
>>4470451Forgot to add that it sucks absolute fucking ass that it has no internal memory.
>>4470338>took that chink toy camera from above and put it in a kodak branded plastic case.AND, they blind-boxed the things with one "rare" design
>>4470440The Man Hole. I mean, the Manual Holo, a made in U.S.A. cameras built on american exceptionalism.- 50MP resolution- Photo & video capture- 16x digital zoom- Anti-shake technology- USB-C charging- Micro SD Card Slot- Includes SD card reader for phone/laptop transferThank you for your attention to this matter.
>>4470794>The camera’s built-in flash is an LED, rather than a xenon flash. Fucking dropped
>>4470128Buy an ad
>>4470794>50MPX doubtProbably just some dumb interpolation algorithm
>>4470794looks like literal SHIT with a sense stuck on it
>>4470813Pleas understand anon, the extra five cents per unit would have made it untenable
>>4470866Is that thing sporting an M43 sensor? Whaow!
>>4470128I just think they're neat>>4470323>>4470376I like my e-m5 mk II, but man is he hideous and talks like he's held at gunpoint.
>>4470794>>4470813>The camera’s built-in flash is an LED, rather than a xenon flash.Shameful. They had one job.
>>4470858>>4470437No. I don't think I will. I'm gonna buy a Charmera instead.>>4470866>Kodak Yellow 1987 EditionOh man. That's the one I want.FUUUUUUUUK. I hope I don't have to buy more than one to get it. Thinking about buying the six pack just to be sure I get one. Could easily scalp the rest to cover the cost I bet.
>>4470152Shoot Ektar at 50 and E6 that shit nigger.
>>4471135it's just not the same. sigh...
>>4470376INSULT MASTER WONG AND MEET SWIFT DEATH, PIG
I caved to the hype and bought three. Only received one for now.
>>4470128>cheap chinkoid e-wasteNo wonder you fags are drooling over it.
>>4470128I've had one on backorder for a couple months, wish it would fucking get here. Don't care which one it is, either.
>>4480568I keep checking BHphoto to see if charmeras are in stock. They still aren't. By the time Kodak gets off it's lazy ass and ships products the hype will be past. Kodak blew it. They shoild have gotten product ready to ship before rolling out media hype.
The chinks have already cloned it and for cheaper, saw picrel at Best Buy. The physical design is different sure but the specs sound more or less the same, and it’s only like 17usd lol. >inb4 but the physical appearance is part of it
>>4481637Wooops
>>4470152Kodachrome legitimately sucked ass compared to E6 offerings.t. oldfag that actually shot Kodachrome
>>4481644>Kodachrome legitimately sucked ass compared to E6 offerings.Sacrilege heathen!
>>4481637>inb4 but the physical appearance is part of itIt really is.
>>4470323I can't listen to that guy for more than a minute, tops. I wonder if he always talks in this extremely retarded way or if he fakes it for his channel.
>>4481684So this is a fashion accessory that happens to take shit photos. Very woman like, fitting.
>>4481637>>4481638>no viewfinder
>>4481694Most of the people buying it already have a camera, give it a rest.
>>4481638Hah I saw these on sale at Best Buy for $15 CAD last week. These Vivitars are much worse than the Charmera, sadly. The native resolution on the Vivitar is 320x240, upscaled to 14MP. At least the Charmera has an honest resolution of 1.6MP (1440x1080).
>November 15th>Still no Charmeras in stock anywhereLife is suffering.
>>4483204The ones I bought early October are in the customs ; I should receive them by the end of the month.
$30 at my local Rockbrook Camera got me a red Charmera. Thing is a handwarmer. 5 minutes is 500 megs of 35mm fov video. Key chain blasts out the audio. Fun little toy.
>>4483204>Life is true art
>>4484503Finally received them, yay.
im not buying something called a charmera
>>4485196>Charmera >:(>Kamera, Japan :O
>>4470152That's a different Kodak. Eastman Kodak makes the film and sells Kodacolor and the motion picture filmKodak Alaris sells the rest of the consumer filmKodak Reto, is someone who bought the rights to call themselves Kodak and sells their cameras, like the Chamera or the H35. This shit is because Eastman Kodak went insolvent in the 2000s and had to sell everything off that wasn't essential.
So what's the ultimate verdict on these things? They're not at all rare i my city and I could get one tomorrow, but I'm not sure if it's actually worth it. The digishit look is what I want but I wonder if it's overpriced for what it is or if the filters look like shit. I can't find many sample images online, though that's to be expected since it's for fun and not serious.
>>4485440Honestly I was really considering getting one of these, but from the samples I've seen, the pictures have a really smoothed-out look, not the harsh and grainy early CMOS look. I like the built-in threshold filters, but the normal pics aren't proper digishit, at least for me.
>>4485539I still might consider one, if only because actual digishit cameras are now hideously overpriced because of social media.
>>4485440The filters indeed look like shit but the overall look of the images is appealing, I think, and, for a camera that you can attach to your keyring, it’s pretty cool (and cheap).
I pre-ordered these a couple months ago and it came in the other day. I like how small it is I can keep it clipped on my necklace and whenever I want to take a picture I just whip it out. I've got a Samsung phone and I can directly transfer the photos from the camera to my phone. The quality is as you would expect, my only gripe with it is that as soon as you turn on it goes into the mode menu so you have to click the shutter twice or the play button first to select to take a picture. Post a couple snapshits around the house that I took
I should say with a USB C to USB C cable
I don't know how often I'll use the filters but it's cool I guess
>>4485641>I've got a Samsung phone and I can directly transfer the photos from the camera to my phone.How?
>>4485641>>4485642>>4485643>>4485644Not bad at all! If these were sold in leafland for less than 50 leafbucks I'd get one. Nobody sells em yet though.
>>4470128Buy a cheap phone, you'll get shit results then
>>4485691USBc to USBc cable
Night photos looks terrible o this camera
>>4486865... and they look alright on daylight. I asbolutely LOVE the form factor
>>4486865it’s impressionisticrealism is not the highest ideal
>>4486865looks like the graphic the intro text plays over in a 90s videogame
>>4486865That is phenomenally shit, especially for a digishit. These things are supposed to have a lot of harsh sharpening to make lights and silhouettes pop, otherwise it just looks bad and blurry. That thing is way too uniform.>1 ⁄ 4 inch CMOSWhat were they thinking. Why the hell wouldn't they put a CCD in that.
The quality is abysmal, hahaha
But it looks ok for portraits, so maybe there's hope.
>>4470128BHPHOTO HAS CHARMERAS IN STOCK!!!>BHPHOTO HAS CHARMERAS IN STOCK!!!BHPHOTO HAS CHARMERAS IN STOCK!!!>BHPHOTO HAS CHARMERAS IN STOCK!!!BHPHOTO HAS CHARMERAS IN STOCK!!!>BHPHOTO HAS CHARMERAS IN STOCK!!!BHPHOTO HAS CHARMERAS IN STOCK!!!
>>4487493Damn, weren't these supposed to be $30?
damn the photo quality really sucks ass
>>4487469The fuck is the filter they slapped on this. It doesn't even look like sharpening, it looks like it straight up has outlines and posterization.
I really wanted one of these but now I'm glad I didn't get one. Thank you anons.
>>4486874Nobody makes consumer CCDs anymore I think. Sony was the last company making them and they stopped those operations a while ago.
There are newly released imitations of the Charmera sold on Aliexpress called "thumb camera". Cost a little less and I reckon these have a better sensor than the real thing. Anybody ever tried these?
>>4487540Yah. I almost bought one from BH when I saw that post. Had it in the cart, did a double take on the price and noped the fuck out. Total cost was nearly $50 with shipping and tax plus tip. That's retarded. You can get a decent retro canon snapshiter that takes decent photos, has manual controls, has a telephoto lens and can run CHDK. Charmera photos in reviews and this thread demonstrate the camera is nearly worthless. Even at $20 the value is in owning a cuite toy, not the camera's ability to capture photos. Unbelievable scalpers are getting $80+ on fleabay for these things.
>>4487570Thanks for the tip. I just bought one from Ali's cuck press for tree fiddy, shipping included. I'll post some pictures when it gets here.
>>4487570Just ordered one for $20 dollarydoos. If it's shit it just becomes a cheap decoration piece which I'm honestly fine with
I bought a six-pack to give to my family for Christmas. I'm keen. I'm debating whether I should give one to my Mum though because, on the one hand, she's going overseas next year but, on the other hand, she's utterly retarded with technology and she may not use it or find it awkward. She's also at that stage where she's basically blind to anything two feet in front of her face so I doubt she'd enjoy the experience of using it. I want to give one to my cousin instead. She's also going overseas and she's not a tech-illiterate boomer either but I would hate to make the rest of my extended family feel left out or whatever.
>>4487751>>4487763The listing on Aliexpress claims it has autofocus. I think that is a lie but in case it does, I am intrigued to hear how well it works, since the real Charmera is fixed focus.
>>4487990tell me more about your mother
>>4470128i got the lil red nigga
So I ordered and received the 2nd cheapest Thumb Camera (transparent version) from ChinkExpress for less than 15€. (The cheapest one is a toy with no photo capability if one actually reads the description.) Walked the dog in +5C drizzle and snapped some snaps.As expected it's shit. My specimen does not connect to W11 computer via USB. By device manager because "The USB set address request failed" Code 43 whatever it means. From quality of photos and behaviour it looks like it has genes of a budget dashcam. Dunno how to disable the timestamp or set time.It's tiny lightweight and cheap and while image quality is shit, low light performance appears not bad.
>>4489271I saw a comparison and people online were basically saying this G6 from chingchongpress had slightly better photo quality over the Chamera.This looks like hot, hot ass and is so heavily sharpened I'm sure the halos are counted to up the marketing resolution.
>>4489271The datestamp is set and enabled/disabled by connecting it to your computer and modifying the .txt file in the camera's root folder.Though yours isn't connecting. Maybe try another cable and Windows 10?
>>4489298To me looks like cheap dashcam where bringing out detail like license plates is important and aesthetic is not. >>4489300I already tried different cables. Now checked it's same with win10 laptop. (Charges fine via usb and goes to PC mode if its PC and does not if charger but Win 10/11 does not recognize it.I'll msg the seller before attempting to find and fix a bad solder joint. Smds got too tiny for me more than a decade ago.)(A snap with different levels of darkness.)
>>4489271VHS aesthetics
>>4489351>>4486865At night shots the thumb camera does pull far ahead compared to the Charmera. Charmera looks like there was butter smeared over the lens.
>>4489412>VHSIt looks nothing like it.
I am >>4487763. Bought a G6 for $20 aud. Came the other day and had a bit of time to get an inital impression.>>4487992>The listing on Aliexpress claims it has autofocus.I have seen nothing to indicate there is any focusing happening at all. It is absolutely fixed-focus with a MFD of about 25cm>>4489271The USB connection on mine works fine. Can even use it as a webcam while attached to a PC with minimal fuss.>>4489300I see nothing of the sort. There's a menu item in the camera to enable or disable the date stamp though.>>4489412No. It looks like a dashcam from 2009. Far too oversharpened to be mistaken for VHS.>>4489417Funny because it already looks like liquid ass at night so if the Chamera is worse I'd say dont even bother outside of good light.Anyway,It's a 3MP 16:9 ratio, 1080p video dashcam sensor with no manual controls, an e-shutter, a bunch of mostly gay and a couple useful filters, with strong sharpening and the only way to adjust exposure is burried in the menu via an EV setting (which is still nice to have but fuck me I wish it were a button).For $20? Fuck it, it's neat it its own way. I've spent more money on far more useless shit. If I switch it to use the B&W filter the chroma noise is gone and I can tolerate the look for random snapshits.Just buy one for the shits and gigs.
