Camp Snap announced the CS-8 Mini, a smaller version of its retro digital camcorder designed for children. The device is less than half the size of the original CS-8, with a smaller grip suited to smaller hands.
The CS-8 Mini captures video at 2.7K resolution, down from the original's 4K capability. It uses a 1/2.7-inch sensor and records to a 4GB microSD card via a trigger-style recording button that creates a new clip with each press. Videos transfer to other devices through a card reader or USB-C cable.
The camera maintains the retro design inspired by Canon and Kodak Super 8mm film cameras from decades past. It offers four aspect ratio options: 16:9 widescreen, 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, and 4:3 for a retro home movie aesthetic. The device includes up to 8x digital zoom and five film-style filters, including standard, vintage, analog with film grain and flickering, and black and white modes.
Like the original, the CS-8 Mini has no screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, or app. The Mini's battery and storage meters use LEDs instead of the original's screen display.
The CS-8 Mini is available now through Camp Snap's online store and Target for $149.99 in bright blue, orange, pink, and green.
