At about three inches long and 1.5 ounces, Camp Snap’s CS-8 Micro is its smallest retro-style camcorder yet. The screen-equipped camera is available for $39.99, with buyers receiving a color chosen from sealed mystery packaging.
The Micro is sold through Camp Snap’s online store and Urban Outfitters. Common colors include hot pink, lilac, lime and orange; black, described as “vintage classic,” and glow-in-the-dark versions are rarer.
Unlike the screen-free CS-8 and CS-8 Mini, the Micro has an LCD that serves only as a viewfinder. Footage cannot be played back, edited or deleted on the camera. To view recordings, users must transfer them to a phone or computer with a USB-C cable, or remove the included 4GB microSD card and use a card reader.
The smaller body comes with lower video resolution: the original CS-8 records at 4K, the Mini at 2.7K, and the Micro at 720p. It retains an 8x digital zoom and five filters, including vintage effects that add flicker and grain to evoke 8mm film. Camp Snap estimates the card can store 45 to 60 minutes of video and says a full charge provides 30 to 45 minutes of battery life.
