Kodak Charmera
The 1.6MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor squeezes into a keychain-sized body, enabling 1080p/30fps AVI video without the bulk of a traditional camera. Micro SD card support up to 128GB and a blind-box design with seven collectible retro styles make it a uniquely giftable, well-built trinket. This screenless novelty camera is best for casual gift shoppers and nostalgia seekers who want effortless, low-stakes snapshots to share instantly.
