Why you should buy the Gems Retro Digital Camera

We’ve rounded up the best DSLR cameras, best mirrorless cameras, and best action cameras, but if you need a simple device to capture important moments, the Gems Retro Digital Camera will do the trick. Point-and-shoot cameras are waning in popularity as smartphone cameras have gotten so good, according to our digital camera buying guide, but the Gems Retro Digital Camera combines a vintage design with modern technology. The device will let you focus on taking photographs without any distractions from app notifications and incoming messages.

In terms of specifications, you shouldn’t expect much from the Gems Retro Digital Camera, but the pixelated aesthetic of the early aughts is part of the appeal here. It has a 2-inch screen that previews your shots and lets you access its menu, and it can take pictures at up to 3MP resolution and videos at up to Full HD resolution. The camera also offers multiple filter and frame options, and while it can hold 100 photos in its internal storage, you can insert a 32GB microSD card so that you can take even more pictures.

You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on a digital camera if you just need the basics, as there are inexpensive options like the Gems Retro Digital Camera. It’s currently even more affordable with a $4 discount from Target that brings its price down from $15 to just $11. If you’re thinking about getting digital cameras for the whole family for a vacation or event, the Gems Retro Digital Camera should be the one to get, and since it would be a shame to miss out on the additional savings, we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase right away.

I bought Kodak’s viral keychain camera, and the bad photos are part of its charm
The Kodak Charmera is barely a camera, and I still keep using it
Machine, Wheel, Camera

I bought the Kodak Charmera partly because I wanted a portable digital camera, and partly because I wanted a pretty little collectible. The Charmera is sold as a blind box, so you do not know which version you are getting until the box is opened. There are multiple retro Kodak-style designs, plus a transparent secret edition that looks like the one everyone would want.

I had the shopkeeper pick my box for better luck, and it worked out. I got the yellow variant, which is inspired by Kodak's original 80s disposable camera. The transparent one is definitely the fun collector’s piece, but the yellow model feels like the proper Kodak version. It looks like a tiny toy camera that escaped from a souvenir shop, found a keyring, and now hangs around wherever you go.

Yashica's new camera makes toy photography more fun
YASHICA Funtastic Keychain Camera in multiple variants

Tiny digital cameras are all the rage, and Yashica is now offering a very cute toy photography experience of its own. The company’s new Funtastic Keychain Camera is exactly what the name suggests, a miniature digital camera small enough to clip onto your keys, bag, or lanyard. The popular Kodak Charmera is the obvious comparison, which brings a tiny blind-box keychain camera that became a viral collectible.

Now, Yashica's version lands in the same novelty-camera lane, but adds one very useful trick, which is a 180-degree flip screen.

Google releases big v4.0 update for its popular Snapseed editing app on Android
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

After years of sitting on its hands, Google appears to have remembered it owns one of the best photo editing apps on mobile. Snapseed 4.0 is now rolling out to Android, bringing the platform up to speed after a stretch of iOS exclusivity that left Android users watching from the sidelines.

The story starts last June, when Google quietly broke Snapseed out of its long dormancy with a significant 3.0 update for iPhone. It was a surprise move that suggested the company was serious about the app again. Google then confirmed at the start of this year that Android wouldn't be left behind for long, and true to that word, the Play Store listing has now been updated to reflect version 4.0 — skipping straight past 3.0 for Android users and landing both platforms on the same version simultaneously.
