Quick Camp Snap Cam review by Davide Perbellini
The Camp Snap Cam is a camera that in every way resembles an old disposable film camera.

I opted to purchase this camera for several reasons.
I couldn’t resist its retro charm.
It is made entirely of plastic which makes it super light. Another plus point for me as I use it during my climbing trips and I don’t want to weigh down my backpack further. Mainly, however, I chose this camera because it allows me to work with the convenience of digital but with the slowness and magic of analogue photography.
In fact, on the back of the camera we do not find any live view screen but in its place a very simple LED counter has been installed which tells us how many photos we have taken. The Snap Cam is equipped with a micro SD (32 mega), already installed, which does not need to be removed to download photos. In fact, the download can be done simply by connecting the USB cable (type C) to the laptop.
There may be some problems with the connection with the OS. In fact, my MacBook does not always read the driver on the first try and more than once I have had to remove the card (a slightly inconvenient procedure because the latter is located under a door screwed with a small screw) and connect it via the reader to the portable.
It’s a super simple and intuitive digital camera, so much so that I can even let my 6 year old daughter use it.
It produces a JPG file (no negative file, RAW) and in its simplicity it overexposes where there is a need to overexpose and vice versa it underexposes where there is a need to underexpose. As far as I’m concerned, you can’t ask for more but that’s how beautiful she is and that’s fine!
