We have something new coming from Kodak. It’s a tiny compact film camera Snapic A1. Kodak has uploaded the teaser video of the camera on their official social media handles. Question is, will it be just for joy and fun, or will it deliver some serious results like Kodak’s old-school point-and-shoot cameras? However, we have already covered the ultra-popular Kodak Charmera a while ago. The Charmera is a digital camera designed for Gen Z, while the Snapic A1 is essentially a traditional film camera.
The Teaser Breakdown: What We Know So Far
Yes, Kodak is about to announce a compact film camera, and although most of the core specifications are not yet known, as it is about to become official soon, a careful look at the teaser and the camera itself, which is clearly visible – leaves little to the imagination. While examining the teaser, it is clear that the camera features an ultra-compact body reminiscent of the ’90s Kodak pocketable film camera design.
It is very clear from the design: a fixed 25mm three-element glass lens, a clear step up from the plastic optics found in earlier budget models.
After looking at the new lens design and the fixed-focus system with a two-position focus switch—one for general scenes and the other optimised for portraits. This clearly shows Kodak’s dedication towards improving the overall optical performance of their film cameras. And for sure, they are improving the lens part of the camera by adding a fixed prime lens and a toggling focus mode to ensure tack-sharp output, without the fuss of manual adjustments. No more blurry group photos at parties.
Other highlights include:
- Built-in automatic flash for low-light heroics—perfect for those impromptu night shoots.
- Multi-exposure mode that lets you layer shots for dreamy double exposures, adding an artistic edge to your rolls.
- A crisp LCD screen for easy framing and review, bridging the gap between vintage vibes and contemporary convenience.
The sample images of the Kodak A1 camera is visible in the teaser, although it will be too early to comment on the sample images by just looking In the samples, which is obviously not very clearly visible in the teaser, but yes, they look very promising, and if you say, first look analysis, then obviously in the first look, the samples does look crisp in nature with a vibrant colour rendition generally that we see in Kodak Gold 200 film
Although the detailed specification of the Kodak A1 film camera is not out yet, there is some sort of possibility that it may hit half-frame territory (like the Ektar H35 series) for double the shots per roll. As of now, we are waiting for more information, but the design of the camera and the teaser look very promising to us.
No word yet on pricing or release date, but given the Charmera’s sub-$50 street price, expect the Snapic A1 to land in the accessible $40–$60 range, ideal for beginners or as a quirky stocking stuffer this holiday season.
