Camp Snap turned a skinny film-camera idea into a $75 digital throwback

The most interesting camera trend right now is not always sharper specs. Sometimes it is removing the screen and making the device feel like something you can toss in a pocket without turning every photo into homework.

The short version

The Verge reports that Camp Snap announced the 110D, a thin, screenless digital point-and-shoot camera inspired by the horizontal 110 film cameras popularized in the 1970s.

What it costs

According to The Verge, the Camp Snap 110D is available for preorder starting September 17 for $74.95 in black and gray or white and orange color options.

Why it matters

Screenless cameras keep popping because they promise a cleaner creative loop: shoot now, review later. For creators, parents, and nostalgia-heavy gadget fans, that can feel calmer than another tiny phone with a shutter button.

Geekish take

The 110D is not trying to beat a phone camera. It is trying to make photos feel more physical and less algorithmic, which is exactly why this category keeps finding an audience.
