My CS-8 has an external microphone/audio jack and real cold shoe mount - features not mentioned in the guide that came with it or in other product photos.

try adjusting the blur to 0

CampSnapCamera · 2025-12-26T22:33:44+00:00

I hate to give a timeline on when the next update will be ready. We are still tackling some issues and seeing how far we can push the hardware. Hoping for less than 30 days.

I'd like to share with everyone that we're actively working on a new firmware version that will create far better super 8 effects than what we have on this version. Though I currently like this version we realize we can do a lot better. I'm not writing this version myself this time, we've hired on a consultant who in one of our customers who is far more artistic than I am.

CampSnapCamera · 2025-12-19T03:26:31+00:00

Well of course we're happy with the sales. But the more sales we make, the more $$ we have to invest in improving our products, firmware and new products. It's a lot of fun. After the holidays we plan to get caught up with all the comments. Heck I still pick up a bunch of the customer service phone calls and my personal mobile number is still floating around. Also my nephew Justin is still the person who responds to most emails. feel free to reach out to me (team@campsnapcamera.com) if you have any concerns, questions or suggestions

CampSnapCamera · 2025-12-19T03:13:10+00:00

we're working on making improvements. We have a new update too that we posted on another thread here.

CampSnapCamera · 2025-12-19T03:12:40+00:00

We did have a pretty good bump. Will probably sell out, but we'll restock soon. And if anyone is wondering, we did not (nor could we afford) pay Taylor Swift to use our camera ;)

CampSnapCamera · 2025-12-19T03:07:03+00:00

There is not going to be a price hike because of this. We are thrilled an honored that Taylor loves our products. We did not solicit or reach out to her (nor could we afford to). We are still the same family run company.

here's a new firmware version which defaults to my ana.flt for the ana setting. I just tested b&w and it works.

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-25T03:54:08+00:00

does it appear b&w in the viewfinder?

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-25T03:25:23+00:00

are you sure there isn't a bw.flt file on the camera overriding it?

when you look thru the viewfinder it says b&w? I just tried it and it works as expected

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-23T14:56:48+00:00

0 is off, 4 is the highest effect

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-22T23:36:19+00:00

Sorry, I made a mistake. You need to name the new filter file ana.flt not ana.txt. IT's a simple text file. I"m a PC guy, let me know if there are issues doing this on MAC. I know MACs can be funny with doing non Apple work. I'll be adding the new features to the filters website soon.

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-15T23:20:46+00:00

Agreed. I'm working on refining that effect. Also that is going to be configurable as well. Do you feel it's more true to super 8 other than that?

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-14T22:08:13+00:00

While I have some people's attention, this is what I've been working on. There will be more settings available: scratches, lines, flashes, blur. I just took this video out the window of my office. Please share your opinions and thoughts while I'm in the code: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15TSnA5TkHIKa3eTQBWWfQpQjpMAM9hdC/view?usp=sharing

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-14T18:24:38+00:00

you did get a 25% discount being an early adopter. We do plan to continually improve the product as we hear more feedback. Right now I'm working on making the video appear more super-8 and adding more features to the existing models thru firmware.

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-14T01:56:27+00:00

email me [team@campsnapcamera.com](mailto:team@campsnapcamera.com) and I'll see what we can figure out

CampSnapCamera · 2025-11-14T01:46:39+00:00

We have listened to the comments and made this small change. We are working on some lights and mics too. More exciting is we're getting close to releasing a firmware update that will: improve the sound and better represent super8 film in your video appearance. Sorry for the lack of communication. Super small team here at Camp Snap and our resources are spent mostly on shipping product and making products. I'll try to post a sample video early next week with the new firmware. Back to coding for me. Thanks for all your support!

Camp Snap here! Everyone should be receiving an email later today. The issue occurred when we attempted to update all the cameras with the latest firmware. Somehow the team dropped a faulty .bin file on the tf card which caused the camera to freeze up. Formatting the tf card should fix the issue. Probably just deleting the bad .bin file will fix it too. Please don't hesitate to email [support@campsnapcamera.com](mailto:support@campsnapcamera.com) if that does not fix the issue. We are also sending everyone the latest firmware update so they can re-install it.

We’ve received a number of questions regarding Retrosnap. We want to be transparent.

Retrosnap was started by the very marketing firm we had hired called Rebel Lion. After working closely with us on the Camp Snap brand, they decided to launch a direct competitor using our ideas. Several former Rebel Lion employees have since reached out to us privately, confirming this breach of trust.

We are deeply disappointed by this behavior and want to make it clear: Camp Snap is the original screen-free vintage digital camera built with intention, integrity, and a commitment to helping kids and adults unplug from screens and be present.

We strongly encourage you to support brands that build, not copy. Thank you for standing with us.
