Camp Snap has introduced the CS-8 Micro, an even smaller follow-up to the CS-8 Mini it launched last week. The Mini was already half the size of the original CS-8 and had a smaller grip intended to make it easier for children to hold. The new Micro goes further: it is roughly three inches long and weighs just 1.5 ounces, so it can be attached to a keychain. Like its larger predecessors, it can record video using one of five built-in filters.
Unlike the original CS-8 and the CS-8 Mini, the Micro includes an LCD display, but the screen serves only as a viewfinder. Users cannot watch, edit, or delete captured footage on the camera itself. To view videos, they must transfer them to a phone or computer with a USB-C cable or remove the included 4GB microSD card and use a card reader.
As Camp Snap has reduced the size of its retro camcorder line, it has also lowered video resolution. The original CS-8 captured 4K video, while the CS-8 Mini recorded at 2.7K. The CS-8 Micro is limited to 720p, but it retains features such as 8x digital zoom and five filters, including vintage effects that add flicker and grain to mimic the look of 8mm film. Camp Snap estimates that the Micro’s 4GB microSD card can hold 45 to 60 minutes of video, and that its battery can last 30 to 45 minutes on a full charge.
