I just tested this video camera inspired by vintage film cams — it's a big ol' serving of nostalgia and I love it

A Camp Snap CS-8 video camera.

Trends always make a comeback: whether that’s bell-bottom jeans, all-denim outfits, or film photography. One brand in particular has been capitalizing on the resurgence of the latter, and that’s Camp Snap, a brand that has come out with a video camera inspired by Super 8s. I’ve been testing the Camp Snap CS-8 for a few days and I’ve grown very attached to this weird, quirky, nostalgic camera.

The CS-8 captures 2.7K footage at either 30fps or 18fps, depending on the chosen color profile, and there are a bunch of aspect ratios to experiment with. It’s reasonably priced and ridiculously easy to use. While its video quality isn’t of the highest quality, and it records the trigger sound every time, it’s still a lovely camera, especially for those who yearn for a simpler time.
