Kodak’s surprise cam drop

Meet Kodak Charmera — a $30, 30g pocket cam that comes in 7 colors… but you don’t get to choose. It’s blind-box style, like a kinder toy. Think of it as the digital reboot of Kodak’s 1987 disposable cam: 1.6 MP sensor, plastic lens, microSD slot. The pics? Pure chaos — blurry, noisy, washed out. But throw on the built-in retro filters and suddenly it feels authentic. Gen Z loves it, because phones are “too perfect” these days. Pro tip: the transparent version is the grail — you see all the tiny circuits inside. Retro-digi hype at its peak.
