dude this is a sick discovery, i've tried using old digital point and shoots and even a stripped down setup of my pro gear but this takes the cake. thanks for cutting me slice
The version 103 dropped recently and it has a faster shutter, flash, newer back display, and slightly better sensor. I snagged one of these when the 103 dropped and have since uploaded the vintage filter, so amazing! Easily the best money I’ve spent on a camera considering the cost-quality ratio. I know some people complain about quality but that’s not really the purpose of this.
I just bought the Camp Snap, and it should arrive in 2 weeks. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it a lot, and if I like it, I might consider getting three in different colors and pairing each color with a filter. For example, the all-black one with the black-and-white filter, the red one (which I just bought) with normal colors, and the yellow one with the vintage filter. I've looked at hundreds of photos taken with the Camp Snap on Flickr, and I find it quite fascinating. I don't know what to say, but with such outdated technology, they found a way to make a business out of it. Brilliant!
@@carlosandri2197 sounds like a cool little system. Definitely would be easier than having to update the filters each time you want to switch. They’ve really hit that nostalgic niche market.
I was an early adopter of this camera and I like it very much just for spontaneous lomo looking pictures. I still have to try the black and white filter. I consider this to be a “toy” camera, similar to other toy cameras I’ve owned. I just ordered the 2nd generation of this camera that promises higher quality photos, less shutter lag, and a way to put the date in the metadata. It also has a ring for a lanyard-which was really needed, I’m a big bummed that they just don’t include the camera strap considering how cheap they are, but I was really missing one when I wanted to use my camera frequently so I don’t have to put it in my bag all the time. If you get the new model I’d like to see you review it.
@@thomassantomartino7337 YEAH, I recently saw the ads for the new version of the camera. All things seem to be good improvements. Not sure when I’ll get my hands on one, but when I do I’ll definitely make a video on it.
Nice video! I have been doing film photography since two years. I have currently two film cameras, Canon AE-1 and Olympus OM-1. They’re both fully analog mechanical tho but they do use a battery for the lightmeter. As a matter of fact, the canon AE-1 only works with battery.
this camera is exactly what ive been looking for as a beginner who just wants to capture memories. do you mind elaborating on how you use your iphone to view the pictures as opposed to the computer? is there a special adapter?
Sure 👍🏻 since my iPhone 15 and the camera are usb-c I use a standard usb-c cable to connect the two. When you turn the camera on the phone will automatically recognize it and then you can import and delete photos off of the camera. The same should be true for iPhones that are lightning. He would just need a USB-C to lightning connection.
Incredible, shame the seller doesn't ship to Brazil. I'm going to try a form of redirection, because everything you said is real. Taking photos to immortalize the moment and not thinking about which lens to choose or whether the photo turned out good or not, is a box of surprises to see at the end only when you connect it to the computer. Question, battery time? And approximately how many photos?
Can you explain further on the vintage or black and white preset being loaded into the camera? So making sure I understand you don’t have to like download an app to convert to vintage etc.
Great video! Highly contemplating getting this with how high film prices are. Just a bit confused, how does the 2000 photo limit work when the counter is only three digits? And once that 2000 is reached (though im sure it'll take a long time) is there anyway to reset?
Yes, the camera is very easy to import photos and then delete them off of the camera. I either use my computer or iPhone to download the photos and then I can delete the ones I import from the same device.
@@wicked-smaht you can easily delete them off of the camera after you download them. I just do it on my phone and it prompts me to delete them after I import.
@@ZacSopak I tried plugging the Campsnap into my iPhone but was not sure how to download from one to the other, and nothing prompted. Did you use an app to do so?
@@ZacSopak I gave them an email anyway, says on website you can remove sd card then do it that way through iPhone and sd reader but don’t wanna break it 🤣
@@ZacSopakI am unable to upload my pictures to my iPad using the provided usb-c cable. Do I need to get a better cable or do I have to use certain settings or an app once I plug the camera into my iPad. I have just purchased the newest version. Enjoy your day.

Unfortunately it’s always on. They had a firmware for a little while that shut it off, but I no longer see it on their site. Hopefully they bring it back.
After a quick google search, I think it you’re right. A bunch of people say 50mm is closer to the man eye, which also happens to be 35mm on a crop sensor camera. Sooo I guess I’ve been thinking in crop sensor focal length this whole time lol
You can’t directly compare the focal length of a single lens with human vision. Wolfcrow released a FANTASTIC video titles "What is the Focal Length of the Human Eye?" a month ago. Go watch it, it’ll be an... eye opener! ;)

Yeah, I considered doing that myself, but before I purchased an older camera I found this and haven’t turned back.

Good to hear. I've been curious about the new version and how it operates. Sounds like good upgrades!
Just got one! I haven’t opened it up yet but could you enlighten me on how to add the vintage filter?

Great vid Zac! Film cameras really do change how you think when you shoot. Keep it up!
Thanks Corey! It really does make you think differently when you’re shooting
It would be great if they ad a switch for 3 presetup filters like b&w or other what you upload from their website
Agreed. I would love it if they made it easier to change which filter was loaded onto the camera

What a nice camera you reviewing. I am thinking to buy one myself, if they ship it to The Netherlands.

They do, just ordered mine, shipping +tax is about €20

if you check out the support page on www.campsnapphoto.com it does a good job of explaining the process of loading the filters
Do the photos have the right date? When you look at them in your phone or do they all have the date of import?
@@absolutelypri256 my doesn’t, but I think they may have changed that with a newer version of the camera that came out recently
I mainly do film photography, but it's a really expensive hobby. Looking at one of these to scratch the itch when I can't afford film.
Either that or a Fuji camera with film immolations

@@ZacSopak How do you go about deleting the pictures to bypass the 2000 picture limit?
@@wicked-smaht you can easily delete them off of the camera after you download them. I just do it on my phone and it prompts me to delete them after I import.
It’s not a 2000 photo limit. It just means the sd card is full after so many pictures. And you can just delete them and start over again
@@ZacSopak I tried plugging the Campsnap into my iPhone but was not sure how to download from one to the other, and nothing prompted. Did you use an app to do so?
what a beautiful video! cinematic review.
Thanks for watching!
hello, question! in the photos you showed in the beginning and throughout the video did you use no filter?
I don’t show any of the vintage filter photos until I mention it. The beginning was straight out of camera
Hi does this work with iPhone 13 to get pictures uploaded? Or do I have to buy a type c cable ?

How do you access the SD card? I unscrewed the part it says to in the instructions but nothing opens
I've actually never gotten the card out. I just plug into the USB-C slot to download and delete photos.
Have you tried printing?
No I have not
Can you shoot video as well?
No it does not
@@ZacSopak thanks

I believe they are a small US based business. International shipping is probably a bit more difficult.
Can you turn the shutter sound off ot is it always on?
Unfortunately it’s always on. They had a firmware for a little while that shut it off, but I no longer see it on their site. Hopefully they bring it back.
you can open the cam up with a screwdriver and disconnect the speaker!
@@Raju58362 That's good to know! I'll have to look into that!
It’s super easy, I removed the speaker yesterday. Much better without the corny sounds IMO.

@@ZacSopak that makes sense. I shoot on film so it's all technically "full sensor"
@@jacobsouls nice! I started on an APS-C sensor so I’m thinking that’s when I picked up that piece of information. Learn something new everyday.

Yes you are correct but most likely people are shooting on apsc which makes the 35 practically 50
