CHUZHAO Vintage Mini Digital Camera, Portable TLR Style Retro Point and Shoot Compact Small Pocket 1080P FHD Video 12MP Autofocus Vlogging Camera with 16 GB Card for Beginners Teens Adults Black

OK, so this is by far the coolest camera I’ve ever purchased! I was a little hesitant because there were other bad reviews. People are saying it’s more like for fun and it’s a lot like a toy but I disagree. This camera is great for taking vintage pictures and videos. It’s so cute and the amount of people that are like oh my gosh I love your camera is that real and I’m like yes! And they think it’s so cool! But I also think it is so cool! And you can go back and look at photos which I love! I have never noticed anything with bad lighting. It takes great photos in the darker, lighting and outside! Super user-friendly , I haven’t even charged it yet because it holds charge for such a long period of time. And so far it’s been super durable, I’m actually pretty clumsy and I’ve dropped it a few times and nothing has messed up. Obviously you shouldn’t intentionally do that, but I’ve carried it with me while I traveled, and , it has stayed put together very well. Just like new highly recommend this kind of camera if you just want some thing, fun and small to carry around with you it also comes with a carrying strap which is great. I just put it around where my purses and I carry it with me that way. Not to mention that this thing is so freaking tiny that you could almost put this in your pocket and it would be a great fit! Now I’m unsure of how many photos and videos it holds. I take a lot of pictures with this thing so so far it hasn’t run out of storage I would say I’ve taken about 200.

What a fun little camera! I love that the photos are square format and can be taken in color or black and white. (The black and white leans more toward sepia, which I love!) The instructions are in English and it comes in really nice packaging. So there are two different methods of shooting video. (Also either color or black and white). The two ways to shoot video are 1. To shoot video WITH sound, you hold down the shutter button for as long as you want to record, then release it and click it again one time for recording to stop. 2. To shoot video WITHOUT sound, turn the crank on the side. As long as you continue turning the crank, it will continue to record. When you stop turning the crank, it will continue to record for 6 seconds and a countdown will appear on the screen. For all the reviewers saying “I wish it recorded longer than 6 seconds” DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!” It will record as long as you continue to turn the crank….the 6 second thing is only a countdown once you stop turning the crank. The photos and videos are super retro lo-fi. That’s the reason someone would want a camera like this. That’s literally the point. Pay no attention to the “quality is bad, blah blah blah”. It’s not an $800 dslr cam! Sheesh! You buy this for the vibe that the photos and videos give! Not to be able to blow up a poster size image for your wall! The silent cranked videos give Super 8 vibes that I LOVE. I can’t wait to print out some of the square photos I’ve taken with this camera. This camera is fun, interesting & unique. The auto focus is great and you can get some super close-up shots. Yes, it’s plastic (I have more expensive cameras that are ALSO plastic), but with real metal accents…all the silver accents you see on this camera are metal. I’m glad it’s rather light since I’m wearing it around my neck when I’m using it. I didn’t care for the strap as it says “the first camera for young people” printed on it. Like, really?? Any age person would find this camera fun and user friendly. I put a different strap on it. The four buttons do take some memorization of their function, but it doesn’t take long to get that down pat. The little shaded screen is crisp and clear. The popup thing around it makes it shaded so it’s still easy to see in outdoor daylight. I love the angle of photos since you’re shooting with the camera in an area between your waist and chest….it gives a more flattering image for photographing people. I’d buy this again and again, especially at this price point (was on sale for $33 when I got it). In less than a week, I’ve already gotten way more than $33 worth of fun out of it!

So, I've had this camera a little over a month and it's exactly what I expected. It's unique and very lightweight point-and shoot camera. Has a nice little screen to look through and it has auto-focus but can't zoom in to close to take a photo. Some of the instructions weren't clear at first, however I managed to figure it out. It's so small that it's able to fit in the palm of my hand yet it's not durable enough to use this camera in a professional fashion. The flower that I've uploaded shows how the photo is taken outdoors. There is no flash, so the light parts are completely blown out. Tried to adjust the exposure and brightness and it kind of dimmed down at bit but not by much. Doesn't exactly take good photos in low light so have at least one decent light in the scene. Ultimately, it just portrays the look of a vintage camera in a cute and charming way. Taking videos with this camera is a bit of a challenge. You need an extremely steady hand so I wouldn't use too much of the turning handle; just use the little the button on the bottom. Check out the short video I imported. All in all, it's a simple travel tool that reminds me of an old-school disposable camera. A quaint little gem that you can't get from a smartphone

This is a fabulous toy camera, a digital brother to Holga and Diana cameras. A twin lens reflex is a refreshing and fun change from eye level photography. Look at the world from waist level. It's an easy camera to use. The black and white function is a nice addition and the quality of b&w images is surprisingly good. Nice and lightweight, easy to pop in bag. With some care this plastic body camera should last a long time. Video mode takes silent movies like an old super 8 camera. Square image format is very nostalgic. Don't expect this camera to take pro quality images, it's a toy! And it's really easy and just a blast to use. Worth every penny, I've already gotten so much joy out of using this camera. And be prepared for everyone to ask about your little camera, it's a a real conversation starter too.

I love this little camera! The images I get with this camera capture the feel of a moment, although they are not super high quality. I bought this camera because it looked fun and it lives up to the hype! It is very fun! Super tiny and easy to take in any bag with you. The images tend to be blown out if it’s too bright outside or very, very dark if the lighting is dim. But, with some editing I’ve gotten some great images.

If you’re into vintage cameras for the vibe and you can snag this for around $20 like I did, go for it. It’s a cute little old-school-looking camera that actually takes photos and videos and even has a tiny speaker. Honestly, the quality is probably worse than the actual vintage camera it’s trying to replicate. Basically, it’s a cheap security cam stuffed into a retro plastic shell, so don’t expect mind-blowing results. You can shoot black and white or color pics, or black & white or color video with sound. It does have auto focus or manual. It comes with a 16GB micro SD card and a USB-C to A charging cable (but you can’t transfer files through the cable, you’ll have to pop the card out). You can purchase a USB-C to A data cable and plug in the camera and transfer your files that way too. You can preview photos and play videos right on the camera too. Bottom line: get it on sale, enjoy the nostalgia, have fun shooting cute photos, and keep your expectations low.

I got this in time for Christmas and it has been pure fun and joy. This is NOT a high definition camera, it's a photographer's toy that brings a lot of joy and makes you think about the shot. Works best in well led scenarios, mid-day, aka needs a lot of light. The controls are simple and it feels plastic, but the joy you get from it it's worth every penny. I will would get this again 100%

So cute and takes nice black and whites
