This simple camera is fun to use, but more importantly, drives home the message that creativity and ‘seeing’ are more important than kit.
Think of a disposable camera but with a small digital sensor instead of a roll of film. This is the Camp Snap, a simple camera I was seduced into buying. I have a penchant for quirky toy cameras, so I was fair game for all those online algorithms.
Cheap, toy-like cameras often have a unique aesthetic that some might find frustrating. With the right frame of mind, however, their crudeness can be harnessed to creative effect. Camp Snap looks and feels like a single-use camera; while there is a digital sensor, there are only a few controls and no display screen.
