‘A $30 camera meant for fun, not serious photography’: Kodak Charmera review

A Kodak Charmera keychain camera.

I test some of the best cheap cameras here at Tom’s Guide, and it isn’t very often that I come across one that instantly charms me, but the Kodak Charmera did just that (it’s in the name, after all — a portmanteau of “Charm” and “Camera”). I’ve been testing this viral $30 keychain camera for a week now, and I’m convinced that everyone needs one.

The Charmera is extremely easy to use and highly portable as it clips on to keys and bags. The 1.6MP photos it captures have a lo-fi aesthetic, although they won’t win you any photography awards. It’s capable of recording video too, making it the perfect companion for your travels or a night out with friends.
