Camp Snap 110D: Retro-Styled Screen-Free Digital Camera Enters Pre-Order
By Drooid · · How we work
Launch Overview
Camp Snap has opened pre-orders for the 110D, a pocket-sized digital point-and-shoot camera that forgoes a rear LCD in favor of an optical viewfinder. The model is offered in two colourways—Back in Black (black and gray) and Dreamsicle (white and orange)—and is sold directly through the company’s website. Pre-order pricing is reported at $74.95, $74.99, and $75 in different product listings. The company states that the first production batch will ship by the end of October, while another source notes a mid-October shipping target.
Design Inspiration & Brand History
The 110D’s horizontal silhouette echoes the classic 110 film cameras introduced by Kodak in 1972 and later popularized by ultra-compact models such as the Minox and Lomography’s Lomomatic 110. The brand’s earlier screen-free camera, launched in 2022, gained traction among bikepackers and travelers seeking a simple, low-resolution shooting experience; the 110D builds on that concept with updated ergonomics and additional filter options.

Official Statements & Responses
The company highlights the lockable memory door as a safety feature for younger users and promotes a redesigned shutter button that delivers near-instant tactile feedback. Battery life and storage capacity are presented as sufficient for casual travel and outdoor activities, with the automatic sleep mode intended to conserve power without manual shutdowns.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
- Price: The Verge lists the pre-order price at $74.95, Hiconsumption cites $74.99, and Petapixel reports a round $75. The source of the discrepancy is not clarified.
- Shipping Timeline: Hiconsumption states that the first batch will ship “at the end of October,” whereas Petapixel indicates a “mid-October” shipping window. No definitive schedule is provided beyond these approximate windows.
- Filter Count: Most sources agree on five built-in filters; however, Petapixel notes that the earlier Camp Snap 2 offered six filters, suggesting a reduction in this model.
