Camp Snap's 110D Brings 1970s Retro Styling to Its Screen-Free Digital Camera Line
The $74.95 pocket camera borrows the slim shape of 110 film cameras, keeps the 8MP sensor from the Camp Snap 2 and promises near-instant shutter response.
Camp Snap, the brand that went viral with a screenless digital camera that mimics a disposable film camera, has opened preorders for the 110D. The pocket camera is modelled on the slim, elongated 110 film cameras of the 1970s, costs $74.95 and ships in October (TechRadar, PetaPixel).
<blockquote><strong>Update, October 25:</strong> The first run of the 110D sold out quickly, and Camp Snap has opened a second batch (<a href="https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/cameras/compact-cameras/this-tiny-retro-camera-sold-out-almost-instantly-now-the-camp-snap-110d-is-back-for-round-two">Digital Camera World</a>).</blockquote>
Modest specs, on purpose
The 110D uses the same 8MP Sony IMX179 sensor as the Camp Snap 2, with a fixed 4.2mm f/2.0 lens giving a 26mm-equivalent view and a 30.5mm filter thread for add-on wide-angle or macro filters. None of that competes with a modern smartphone, and it is not meant to. Camp Snap's line removes the features most cameras add: no screen to review shots, no autofocus complexity, no editing, so you do not know exactly what a photo looks like until later.
| Specification | Camp Snap 110D |
|---|---|
| Sensor | 8MP Sony IMX179 (same as Camp Snap 2) |
| Lens | Fixed 4.2mm f/2.0, 26mm equivalent, 30.5mm filter thread |
| Filters | Standard, Vintage 1, Vintage 2, Analog, Black & White (physical slider) |
| Display | Segmented status LCD only (battery, photo count) |
| Battery | 800mAh, about 500 shots per charge |
| Storage | Included 4GB microSD, about 2,000 JPEGs |
| Port | USB-C for charging and transfer |
| US price | $74.95 |
The five filters switch with a physical slider, not a menu or app. The small segmented LCD shows only battery level and photo count, with no way to preview or delete a shot before transfer. Both the filter slider and the microSD door can be locked, which Camp Snap pitches as making the camera kid-safe.
What is new
Camp Snap says the 110D fixes the most common complaint about its earlier cameras, shutter lag, with its fastest shutter-button design yet and near-instant response. An instant auto-sleep and wake system is behind the rated 500 shots per charge (Digital Camera World).
The shape borrows from pocket 110 cameras made decades ago by brands such as Canon, Minolta and Pentax, and PetaPixel compares the experience to a Minox. At $74.95 it sits a small step above the Camp Snap 2's $69.95 launch price and below the $99 Camp Snap Pro, which has a 16MP sensor.
Why this niche keeps growing
Camp Snap's success points to fatigue with smartphone photography: instant previews, endless retakes and processing that pushes every photo toward the same look. A deliberately limited camera removes all of that, betting that some buyers, particularly younger ones who never shot film, want the delayed gratification of analog photography without buying and developing real film.
No Indian price or launch has been announced.
What to watch next
Independent reviews once the 110D ships will show whether the shutter lag is really fixed. Image quality should match the Camp Snap 2, given the shared sensor.
