Small in size, big on nostalgia – Kodak Charmera point-and-shoot camera aims to put the joy back into photography

You know what they say – the best camera is the one you have with you. And now, with the launch of the Kodak Charmera, you get a tiny camera that even fits on your keyring, bringing back the nostalgia of the 80s in a digital, carefree, and joyful package.

If you’re a fan of the Kodak Fling (yes, that iconic little 110 disposable camera), the Charmera might feel familiar. The new Kodak Charmera is a reimagination of a classic, featuring a 1 ⁄ 4 inch CMOS sensor, a 35mm f/2.4 lens, and creates images in 1440 x 1080; 1.6 MP – no high resolution photography, but that’s the point. And yes, it even records video!
If you’re already thinking about what design would look best on your keychain… here’s a twist. The Charmera is sold in blind boxes. So, you don’t know exactly which model you’ll get. But each of the seven designs is sure to bring back the nostalgia. And while the Charmera is tiny, it’s packed with some interesting tech and features.

Frames & filters
You’ll find a range of photo frames and filters, from classic B&W to Warm and Cool Tone filters, perfect for setting the mood or adding a creative twist. The Pixel Filter is a true standout, adding a graphic pop to everyday moments.
