Overview
- Kodak’s Charmera, sold as a blind‑box keychain camera for about $30, sold out quickly over the holidays after its September debut.
- Reviews confirm a 1.6MP, 1/4‑inch sensor that produces 1440×1080 photos, with video that looks rough and sounds worse.
- Built‑in storage only fits roughly two shots, so practical use depends on a user‑supplied microSD card and USB charging.
- The camera is fully automatic with a tiny LCD, no manual controls, preset filters and frames, and an LED flash that cannot be disabled.
- Image quality is soft and grainy with poor dynamic range, yet the toy‑like size, retro styling, and glitchy look are the main draw for buyers.
