"Like trading cards, Lego figures, and even the coveted Labubu, you don't know exactly what your Kodak Charmera camera is going to look like until you open the box. The anticipation and a $30 price tag helped the collectible camera sell out quickly and become nearly impossible to find over the holidays after its debut last September. The Charmera's not going to replace your smartphone camera, or even a decade-old point-and-shoot buried in a drawer. But it's got enough charm to earn it a place on your keyring, and enough novelty to occasionally use it to snap a lo-fi memory or two."
"The Charmera comes in six retro designs, plus a rarer "secret edition" with a transparent shell. I was hoping for the bright yellow version designed to look like the single-use Kodak Fling camera that inspired the Charmera, but I was certainly not disappointed to find the transparent one."
The Kodak Charmera is a blind-box collectible lo-fi camera sold at about $30 that quickly sold out during its debut. It comes in six retro designs plus a rarer transparent 'secret edition' and is inspired by the single-use Kodak Fling. The camera is extremely small — roughly the size of a ChapStick — and attaches to a keyring. Image quality is poor and it won't replace a smartphone or point-and-shoot, but its charm, novelty, and collectible nature make it enjoyable for occasional snaps and display.
