Compact cameras are trending – and particularly point-and-shoots with a retro design. But the trend comes with one major problem: price. Most retro-inspired digital compact cameras come with a pretty significant price tag, but I’ve fallen in love with a cheap point-and-shoot that’s actually a tiny percentage of the cost of the trendiest options. The Camp Snap CS-Pro is a retro camera that feels old school, but is 100 percent digital.
The Camp Snap CS-Pro feels film-like not because of what this tiny budget camera has, but what it doesn’t have: a screen. There’s no temptation to flip through all the photos. Framing shots in the tiny viewfinder didn’t take me away from the moment any more than using a disposable film camera would.
