Anybody heard of this? An article about it appeared in the New York Times a couple of days ago: Camp Snap Screen-Free Digital Camera

It sounds like an interesting product -- with limitations of course. But at that price, it might be fun.

I almost bought one for my son to take to 6th grade Science Camp. I think I first heard about it from Velo Orange:

Interesting, kinda the digital version of the cheap fuji disposal film cameras from late 1990s to early 2000s. Whether these are any better quality than a phone camera may be questionable, but the form factor is fun.

The pictures in the NY Times article looked pretty good, though there's shutter lag and a slow lens.

I just ordered one. I have a modest collection of toy film cameras. This should be fun.

This might qualify as the latest Brownie Camera!
