Kodak’s trending Charmera keyring camera is a great gift idea – I’d preorder the ‘blind box’ now and hope it lands in time for the holidays

Kodak knows how to make a camera that sells, and its Charmera is doing just that! On its September release, the cheap digital keyring camera sold out in a day, and over a month later it is currently on pre-order.

I can see the appeal. Just $30 / £30 / AU$45 for a tiny, functioning digital camera that can easily attach to a keyring, that’s made in six retro colorways, and is packaged in a ‘blind box’ so you don’t know which one you’ll get – it’s got gift idea written all over it.

Chris George, Content Director of our sister site Digital Camera World, agrees – in his Charmera review he says, “This miniature digital camera will be the ultimate fun-and-affordable gift for photographers this Christmas”.

The Kodak Charmera could just be the Black Friday antidote we need – no hunting around for camera deals – just pick up the Charmera at its affordable full price.

While there’s no guarantee when stocks will be replenished, there are plenty of leading retailers taking preorders, and placing an order quickly will increase your chances of getting one (or more) before the holidays.
