Kodak’s Charmera compact camera is getting a new Y2K-inspired design

Although having worst digital camera everThe Kodak Charmera has become incredibly popular thanks to its affordable price and several fun retro-inspired designs. 1987 never used once Kodak Fling. Rather than rethinking the process, Difficultythe company that licenses the Kodak brand, is following up the original Charmera with the Millennium Edition. Seven shiny new designs draw inspiration from the technology and beauty of the early 2000s, and at $34.99 each, these could fly off camera store shelves, too.

The Charmera Millennium Edition isn’t just a Y2K facelift. Reto has updated its software with a total of seven filters and four new frames that can be applied to photos when they are taken. While the original Charmera had a black-and-white color scheme and four filters of different “pixel” colors, the Millennium Edition expands these filters with four new options including coral, honey, teal, and violet.

Inside the new version of the camera, you’ll find the same hardware as the original, which is disappointing. It still uses a 1.6-megapixel ¼-inch sensor that captures images at a resolution of 1,440×1,080 pixels, while videos recorded as AVI files are up to 30fps. This allows you to store thousands of photos on a microSD card up to 128GB in size, but even in the year 2000, point-and-shoot cameras from companies such as Canon and Sony had sensors that capture more than 2 megapixels. Reto does not position the Charmera as anything other than a recording toy, but going forward, it will need more than cosmetic refreshments to make it interesting.
