The Kodak Charmera Keychain Camera

The Charmera is a tiny fully functional digital camera. It comes in seven different designs but you can't tell which design you get until you open it. This is often called a "blind box". The clear case version has 1 in 48 odds, so good luck trying to find that one! The specific camera that I have is number four. A friend gave me this, so I did not get the whole blind box experience. Fine with me and I was very thankful to him for the gift. I hope he eventually got a copy of the clear camera.  Let us go over some of the details and specifications of this camera to see what it can actually do. The Kodak Charmera blind box package.

It develops right after you take the picture, ejects from the camera, and in about 10 to 15 minutes, you have a physical photograph to enjoy. The Now+ Generation 3 is compatible with both Polaroid 600 and i-Type film. Throughout this review, I'll show you some of the shots I took both outdoors and indoors. One of my long time viewers had mentioned in the initial live stream that the 600 film has an integrated battery and it's meant for the older Polaroid cameras, so for this camera it makes more sense to use the c...
