Kodak Launches โKeychain-Sized Digital Camera, Tapping Into Collectible Tech Trend
Kodak has released the Charmera, a fully functional digital โฃcamera small enoughโ to attach to a keyring -โฃ weighing just 30 grams and smallerโ thanโ an AirPods case. The cameras, officially licensed through Reto Pro, are currently sold out after anโข initial launch that mirrored the popular “blind box” sales strategy seen withโข collectible toys like Labubu.
The Charmera arrives as interest in retro-inspired and miniature technology surges,offering a nostalgic nod โto Kodak’s original single-use “Fling” camera from โthe 1980s.Sold as a blind box for $29.99 or a set of six for $179.94, the camera shoots 1.6-megapixel photos and 1080p video,complete with customizable Kodakโ frames,vintage filters,and a date stamp. While image quality isn’t expected to rival modern smartphones, โคthe Charmera aimsโข to deliver โa fun, accessible, and collectible photography experience. Reto Pro anticipates restockingโ the cameras on its website following โthe initial sell-out.
