The Camp Snap 2

@campsnapcamera was nice enough to send me out a Camp Snap 2 to try out, these are my thoughts after carrying it for a month. I have been following their project since the original and I have the say the 2 is a big step in the right direction. The original (while obviously aimed towards kids to take camping with them) sparked a lot of interest from the photo community pretty early on. A screen free digicam was a cool idea and I was excited to see what they did with it. The first version definitely had some issues with exposing images properly, especially when the lighting was rather dynamic. The 2 is significantly better at properly exposing images. Obviously if its a super dynamic scene it can still struggle if it ends up metering for a really dark point, but generally it is light years ahead of the original. The built in profiles are really nice, I am a huge fan of Vintage 1 and Vintage 2. The black and white is also fun to play with since I don't really shoot it often in my day to day. Obviously the camera has a very plastic build but thats kind of the point. I really like that they leaned into the plastic idea and made the see-through 90's style. A few of the downsides I see to it (but its literally just because its a small sensor with a disposable lens) are: it isn't great at low light situations and often shadows get some color noise, which is easily and quickly removable if you care about it. If you have some harsher edges in a photo you will get some of that "digital look" but I think that is strictly because of the sensor size. The only other thing I don't really like is that its an LED flash. It gives that sort of iPhone effect. They did end up figuring that out and putting a Xenon flash on the CS-Pro which helps a lot with getting that flash on flim look. Overall I am genuinely surprised by how this little basically toy camera performed. It gave me the same feeling that film does, forgetting what I took and being excited to see the photos when I finally get home.
