Camp Snap 8 is the latest in the category of digital products designed to mimic old analog media. I was prepared to write this off as unnecessary and probably overpriced but after some cursory investigation I have to admit this thing look s pretty cool. It’s moderately priced at $150 and seems to deliver super-8 style video footage in a really cool form factor. Sure, you could take video with any digital camera and post process it to achieve the same look but this all-in-one approach is cheap enough to be worth buying if it fits the aesthetic you want to achieve. There are a couple different settings but it’s pretty basic in operation. The only thing I could see making this better would be if you could affix some aftermarket lens adapters like a fisheye. Who knows, maybe you can jerry rig something up to it. The cam is not primarily marketed towards skateboarders but they do feature in the product page. Hey Camp Snap, You guys know where to send the review unit!
