"Studio Seven releases a palm-sized retro digital toy camera that hooks around belts or bags for portable picture- and video-taking. A means to celebrate its seventh-year anniversary, the device resembles a toy but is actually functional and can capture images and videos the retro way. The camera is compact and lightweight, measuring small enough to fit in the palm of a hand and weighing around 15 grams. Its body is made from molded plastic with a smooth surface finish, and the color design follows the studio's signature palette, which is orange and white."
"The lens sits on the front in a simple circular housing, and a small button above it serves as the shutter control. There's a small viewfinder, and next to it, users press the button to capture images and videos directly. The design takes inspiration from early film cameras, especially compact point-and-shoot models from the late 20th century. But unlike those analog versions, the retro toy camera is digital and stores images and videos on a microSD card."
"Specs-wise, the device can save images with a resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels and AVI video files in 640 x 480 pixels. These settings are basic and designed for casual use, plus the built-in sensor captures color images that are slightly grainy, imitating the visual effect of older film photographs. This gives the output a low-resolution appearance similar to early digital and toy cameras."
Studio Seven offers a palm-sized retro digital toy camera that clips to belts, bags, or clothing via a metal keychain ring and included strap. The unit is compact and lightweight at about 15 grams, with a molded plastic orange-and-white body and a simple circular front lens. A small viewfinder and single shutter button enable direct photo and video capture inspired by late 20th-century point-and-shoot design. The camera saves 1280×960 stills and 640×480 AVI video to a user-supplied microSD card, and files transfer over the included USB cable. The sensor produces slightly grainy, low-resolution images that mimic early film and toy camera aesthetics.
