According to The Verge, manufacturer Camp Snap has announced the retro CS-8 Micro camera, which will go on sale on November 17 for $39.99. The device is sold in sealed blind boxes, with regular versions in bright pink, lilac, lime green, and orange, plus rarer "black retro classic" and "glow-in-the-dark" versions. Measuring about 3 inches long and weighing just 1.5 ounces, it can be attached to a keychain and carried anywhere. The CS-8 Micro has an LCD screen that is only for framing, so videos cannot be viewed, edited, or deleted on the camera itself; users must transfer footage to a phone or computer via USB-C or remove the included 4GB microSD card and read it with a card reader. The CS-8 Micro supports only 720P video, offers 8x digital zoom, and provides 5 built-in filters, some of which can simulate the retro look of 8mm film by adding flicker and grain effects; the included 4GB microSD card can hold about 45 to 60 minutes of video, and a full battery is expected to allow 30 to 45 minutes of continuous shooting.

Camp Snap launches retro camera CS-8 Micro: sold in blind boxes, can be carried on a keychain, $39.99

IT Home, November 14 news: According to foreign media outlet The Verge, manufacturer Camp Snap has announced the launch of a retro camera, the CS-8 Micro. The product will go on sale on November 17, priced at $39.99 (IT Home note: roughly 267.3 yuan RMB at current exchange rates).

The product is sold in sealed blind boxes, offering standard versions in bright pink, lilac purple, lime green and orange, as well as the relatively rare "Black Retro Classic" and "Glow-in-the-Dark" versions. It is about 3 inches (about 7.6 cm) long overall and weighs only 1.5 ounces (about 42.5 grams), so it can be attached to a keychain and carried around.

The CS-8 Micro is equipped with an LCD screen, but it is only used for framing; you cannot view, edit or delete recorded videos directly on the camera. Users need to transfer videos to a phone or computer via a USB-C cable, or remove the included 4GB microSD memory card and read the files through a card reader.

The CS-8 Micro supports shooting only 720P video, supports 8x digital zoom, and offers 5 built-in filters, some of which can simulate the retro image style of 8mm film by adding flicker and grain effects. The 4GB microSD memory card included with the body can store up to about 45 to 60 minutes of video, and a full battery is expected to allow 30 to 45 minutes of continuous shooting.
