KODAK CHARMERA Keychain Digital Camera Review

★★★★★★★★★★

“This little camera is more fun than I expected. I received two black models. I was hoping for different colors so that my spouse and I could tell them apart easily. Set up was very minimal/easy. So far I’ve taken about 30 photos with it and transferred them to my MacBook Pro via USB C cable with no problems. There are a few limited filters on the camera, which don’t hold much interest for me. The cuteness and portability factors are high. The only minor annoyance I’ve discovered is having to choose photo or video mode upon powering up the camera each time. Be sure to have a spare SD card on hand because the camera doesn’t come with one. I’m using a 32g SD card, which is more than plenty for my needs. I foresee a lot of fun in my future with the Charmera. It’s a bit spendy for what it is, especially if you have to buy an SD card with it. Gone are the days of cheap SD cards. Still, this is a cool little camera and helps distract me from the current state of the world.”

★★★★★★★★★★

“This little camera is just too cute. I don’t always have my phone in hand so this is convenient and perfect whenever I want to “capture the moment” and I don’t have my phone. I love the different filters and the quality isn’t that bad on the photos. What makes it fun is that you don’t know which one you will get. A few of my friends have them and they all got a different colors. I used a 16 GB card and so far I’ve been able to take lots of photos. Here’s a photo of my cat Harley Quinn and I just love how the picture came out. Don’t think twice get one! It’s fun, cute and so worth the money.”

“Great little camera! I have been having so much fun the last few weeks. The small size makes it easy to throw it in my pocket and using it instead of my phone. It keeps me more present and prevents me from. Getting lost in my phone doom scrolling. I got a second one for a friend and they also have enjoyed it. The fact that the pictures aren't perfectly clear gives it character. I just popped in an old compatible SD card. The blind box aspect was cool too I got the color I wanted. Even my friend got the color that he wanted. The price makes it a great gift.”

“OK, I understand the hype now this thing is so cute! I was hesitant to buy it because of the price, but I saw that it was a “blind box” and everybody had one off TikTok so I wanted to get one too. I got the yellow one which was my second pick. Everything was new it wasn’t opened or used before and it worked out of the box. I charged it up with my iPhone charger but it comes with a charger. You do have to buy a separate memory card unlike the knock offs which come with everything, but that was easy to get off of Amazon for cheap. The only issue is that the screen is super hard to see, so if you’re trying to line a shot up, it’s really difficult. Anything that is small that’s about 2 feet distance is probably not gonna focus with this camera very well and you also want to make sure that you don’t have a lot of bright light or it won’t pick up on finer detail. The buttons are tactile, but they’re not the best so I find that I have to kind of jam down to scroll through the menu, but it’s not a big deal. If you have long finger nails just be prepared for a little trouble with the scroll buttons. I’m still testing it out, but the packaging was really professional and premium, and it came with a little poster that had all the different cameras and the history behind the Kodak cameras. It also comes with a trading card that feels like a collectible with the camera you get. And on the back of that, it has a quick start guide. I grew up in the 90s to the 2000 so I had a camera like this and it’s fun to see the yellow color but miniaturized version. I feel like I’m reliving my childhood as a photographer with quality cameras, this is fun to just have and capture whatever you feel like you get thousands of photos to take off of like a 32 GB memory card. I would definitely get a case for this. I don’t think it’s gonna be very durable as a keychain on a backpack or purse being flung around, but I think a silicone case is good and then maybe a lanyard. I plan to wear mine around my neck like a necklace so it’s easy to take photos. The only downside is this camera can take about 20 pics before it starts to lose battery. You charge it, and then it will go down a bar within 10 minutes, but then stays at 2 bars the remainder of the time. It also gets a little warm but nothing concerning. I love it so much, I've attached some pictures I recently took!”

“Love this tiny little camera. I journal a lot and having this lets me capture memories when I am out and about. You'd probably say, "use your phone camera!", and you are right. However, this tiny camera is so charming with its shots. It reminds me of vintage, cool vibes. It works perfectly with a micro-SD card and having this on my keychain or bag is so convenient with its compact size.I wish I got the clear one but i didn't :(”
