Description:
Kodak's Charmera digital keyring camera comes in a 'blind box' in any one of 
six colorways, and costs just $30 / 30, which makes it a great gift idea.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Kodak knows how to make a camera that sells, and its Charmera is doing just 
that! On its September release, the cheap digital keyring camera sold out in 
a day, and over a month later it is currently on pre-order. 

I can see the appeal. Just $30 / 30 / AU$45 for a tiny, functioning digital 
camera that can easily attach to a keyring, that's made in six retro 
colorways, and is packaged in a 'blind box' so you don't know which one 
you'll get  it's got gift idea written all over it. 

Chris George, Content Director of our sister site Digital Camera World, 
agrees  in his Charmera review he says, "This miniature digital camera will 
be the ultimate fun-and-affordable gift for photographers this Christmas". 

The Kodak Charmera could just be the Black Friday antidote we need  no 
hunting around for camera deals  just pick up the Charmera at its affordable 
full price. Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Kodak) Image 2 of 3 (Image credit:

While there's no guarantee when stocks will be replenished, there are plenty 
of leading retailers taking preorders, and placing an order quickly will 
increase your chances of getting one (or more) before the holidays. 

I've included the best places to preorder a Kodak Charmera, below. Where to 
buy 

There are six versions of the Kodak Charmera  all bold, throwback colorways. 
However, when buying a Charmera, you don't know which version you'll get  it 
comes in a 'blind box' (see below). Personally, I think this approach only 
adds to the appeal. Image 1 of 2 (Image credit: Kodak) Image 2 of 2 (Image

Retailers which we recommend that are taking preorders include the following: 

 US 
Adorama: $29.99 

B&H Photo: $34.99 

 UK 
Amazon: 29.99 

London Camera Exchange: 30 

Wex: Pre-order 30 

You should note that orders of the Kodak Charmera from any site are 
non-refundable. Top alternative  the Camp Snap camera (Image credit: Camp

Not convinced by the Charmera and its preorder status? I can't personally 
vouch for it yet until I've completed a review, though I'm already in for one 
myself. 

My other cheap camera gift idea suggestion, that is available now, is Camp 
Snap  a screen-free digital reimagining of the single-use camera, which costs 
around $55 / 50 (see below). 

Camp Snap comes with an inserted micro SD memory card that holds up to 2,000 
pictures, and USB-C for image uploads. It's available in a huge range of 
colors, too. 

Recently, Camp Snap also launched a personalization service, whereby you can 
customize the camera with a name on it, up to 10 characters long (see above). 

A personalized Camp Snap costs $85 / 67 at Camp Snap .
