Kodak Charmera Reviews
Cute!
By Cyndy
Rated 5 out of 5

The thing is tiny. The quality is so-so, just the wrong side of okay. But it is cute and it take photos and videos and has some nifty FX. And it also harkens back to my youth and the simple box cameras I learned on, so there's that.
Get one just...because, why not?
One catch - the shutter is not very receptive so you do have to push firmly and be careful not the jar the camera and cause blur.
And as they say, the camera you use is the one you have with you, and this one can go anywhere.
(btw i was testing how close i could get and still stay in focus as well as shooting indoors. not too bad)
She loves it.

Bought as a end of year present. Very inexpensive and she understood that the photos would be low res. She loves it. Much like a digital Instax camera. It's on her keychain and ready to go.

Does the camera have built-in storage or does it require a separately purchased SD-card?
Asked by: Stephen
The Kodak Charmera Key Chain Digital Camera (Random Style Blind Box) has built-in storage for two photos only; the SanDisk 256GB Extreme UHS-I microSDXC Memory Card with SD Adapter (BH # SA256GBEMSD) would be a good choice for a microSD card for it.

Do we know battery capacity (mAh) and roughly how many photos/videos that allows for?
Asked by: Matthew
Subjectively, I've taken ~180 in one day and that used up two of the three "bars." So maybe 250 to 300 total. It's plenty for a couple day's casual use, but you'll want a charge after a weekend trip or before storing. USB-C thankfully makes that easy!

The Kodak Charmera Key Chain Digital Camera does not have the ability to turn the flash off. The flash operates automatically based on lighting conditions. Many users cover up the flash with a finger if they do not want it to fire.
