LOOK: Kodak launches Charmera Millennium Edition with nostalgic Y2K vibes
Y2K nostalgia is getting another digital revival—and this time, it fits right in your pocket.
Kodak has unveiled the new Charmera Millennium Edition, a refreshed take on its viral keychain camera that swaps its '90s-inspired look for shiny metallic finishes and early-2000s aesthetics.
A total of seven retro styles are available, with each one featuring customized retro-futurism frames, color-rich pixelated filters, and date stamps.
"This isn't just a camera, it’s a time capsule of Y2K energy, blending the photogenic spirit with the high-gloss aesthetic of the 2000 era. It is the ultimate lo-fi futurist accessory, reimagining the dawn of the digital age for today’s trendsetters," Kodak said.
Like its previous version, the new product weighs just 30 grams, allowing you to attach it as a keychain so you can be ready to snap a photo or record a video. It shoots 1.6-megapixel photos and videos in AVI format at 30 FPS.
It uses a microSD card to store media, and through the USB-C plug, you can seamlessly transfer your files to other devices once you've filled up its memory.
You can spice up your pictures with four retro-futurism frames and seven color-rich pixelated filters.
The fun part about the product is that it comes as a blind box collectible. Every single box contains one style of the seven retro designs, and you will not know which one you get until you open it.
If you're really lucky, you can get the one secret edition, which comes in a liquid-metal finish that blends futuristic aesthetics. Each basic style has an odds of 1/6, while the probability of drawing the secret edition is 1/48.
Apart from the Charmera, the box also contains a USB-C cable, a keyring, and a Charmera ID card.
The camera is available for pre-order through Henry's Cameras for P2,450 per piece. You can make your reservation through their website.
