The Kodak Snapic A1 is a $99 film camera that makes double exposures easy

"Reto, a Hong Kong-based camera maker that licenses the Kodak brand, has announced a new 35mm film camera called the Snapic A1 that ships next week. Although its design, with either a rhino gray or ivory white plastic housing, gives off disposable camera vibes, for $99 the Snapic A1 should be a capable shooter with an easy double exposure mode for those wanting to try their hand at film photography."

"The camera uses a three-element 25mm glass lens with a fixed f/9.5 aspect ratio and a shutter speed locked to 1/100 second. It has a built-in flash with red-eye reduction that can be set to automatically fire when the camera detects it's needed, which will probably be frequently in low-light situations, given that the relatively slow lens is paired with a high shutter speed, as PetaPixel points out."

"There's no autofocus, but the Snapic A1 gives you the choice between two focus zones: one for closeup and portrait photography when your subject is between 0.5 to 1.5 meters away, and one for everything else - including landscapes - using the camera's extensive depth of field. If you're feeling especially creative, a toggle switch next to the shutter button lets you capture two subsequent exposures on a single frame so you can creatively layer images without any post-processing."

Reto introduced the Snapic A1, a $99 35mm film camera available in rhino gray or ivory white and shipping next week. The camera uses a three-element 25mm glass lens with a fixed f/9.5 aperture and a shutter speed locked to 1/100 second. A built-in flash includes red-eye reduction and an automatic firing option for low-light conditions. The Snapic A1 has no autofocus but offers two focus zones: 0.5–1.5 meters for closeups and portraits, and a secondary zone for everything else using large depth of field. A toggle enables two exposures on a single frame. Battery life is rated up to ten 24-exposure rolls on two AAA cells, and a small OLED displays remaining shots and focus mode. Color choice is selectable at purchase rather than blind-box release.
