As a child of the 80s, I’ve been charmed by the Kodak Charmera, with its blind-buy lucky dip of retro graphics. Which kid, big or small, doesn’t love a lucky dip? Its key fob sized dimensions also remind me of the Digital L’Espion – French for ‘spy’ – camera from Digital Dream two decades ago. That similarly came with key ring attachment.
Further providing a current and powerful hit of that drug called nostalgia is the Chuzhao digital TLR style camera, resembling something I might have seen on a shelf at my grandparents. They were also one-time big users of the Kodak Box Brownie. The next thing we know we’ll all be fashioning pinhole cameras from paper and card.
