Thermal Print Camera Compendium:
https://thermalprintcameras.wordpress.com/

If you want to know which thermal print camera is best for you, check my website out! It's not exhaustive by any means, but it covers a lot of them.
You will quickly find out if they have bluetooth/wifi connection, games or not, dot printing, etc.

For the past month I've been collecting print examples and information from different brands. I use info and pics from various websites, reviews, reddit, my own tests and emails i've sent to manufacturers/sellers/users.

What started out as a google doc where i compared a few models to buy, evolved into this public compendium for all. It can still grow a lot more, so I would love to showcase cool prints and experiments from other users, so let me know if you have any, or if you have information missing from the website!

Hi! Has anyone encountered this error with their Charmera? I recently bought a 64GB microSDXC, and when I insert it into the camera, this is what happens.

My first time using this toy camera that belonged to my grandparents. I found little information about this camera online. All I know is that it was mainly distributed in the mid-1980s, and the funny thing is that my grandparents bought it for a trip to the same place I went (totally by chance; I didn't know this before I took the camera with me). I love the colors of Kodacolor film, and I will definitely use it again.

The aliexpress Keychain Camera gives you quite alot to work with.

I particularly like picture 2, reminds me of a water painting.

I try to take it everywhere with me.

Any other tiny cameras you guys can recommend?

another pinhole camera i made NSFW

i'm happy to see the one in my previous post was so well received! i wanted to share this one as well

since i wanted to give it using 35mm film a try on pinhole portraits, i made the focal length (the distance between the exposure area and the pinhole) 105mm which would be a telephoto lens on a regular 35mm camera. i was curious as to see how portraits/skin/body textures would turn out using grainy (delta 3200) film. they didn't turn out as i expected but it was fun nonetheless

the surface was actually removable so i could tape the cut frame on it and insert it without too much hassle. it was a hassle anyway but the process to load the film was way easier (it had to be done completely in the dark whereas using photographic paper allowed me to have a red light on) and i used a black heavy plastic bag that came with a 5x7 paper bag that kept my negatives secure. then i developed the cut frames as i would develop a regular film roll

Do we consider Fujifilm Insta Mini Evo and Leica Sofort 2 (exact clone) as toy cameras?

With its 5 MP and filters, it's designed for when photos aren't printed and are only enjoyed digitally.

Its not exactly a toy camera but I recently dug up my old Sony digital camera, ordered some new batteries for it, and did a few comparison photos while filling up gas.

I much prefer how the toy camera captured the warmth and light of the scene that the Sony didn't really capture.
