First Impressions of the Camp Snap 2
At first glance, the Camp Snap 2 looks like a disposable analog camera, but it is actually a digital camera that doesn’t offer a display to show photos taken. Compared to cameras such as the Kodak Charmera ($34 on Amazon), the Camp Snap 2 promises slightly better image quality with an 8 megapixel sensor and an LED flash.
Retro Charm and Design Tweaks
While the Camp Snap 2 cannot keep up with modern smartphone cameras, the camera is said to be able to capture photos with a charming retro look thanks to six filters that can be selected using a button on the back. While the camera hardware remains unchanged from the previous model, the body of the Camp Snap 2 is 15 percent thinner, while the lens has been extended by a 30.5 millimeter filter thread and the camera now has a tripod thread.

Child-Friendly Features and Controls
If the camera is bought for a younger child, the bottom cover can be secured with a screw so that neither the mciroSD card nor the battery can get lost. Apart from the shutter release and the button for selecting filters, the camera only has a slider to switch it on and activate the flash. Photos are composed using a small optical viewfinder. The display on the back only provides information about the number of photos taken.
