Really interesting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the beginning I was not sure about the camera but know after using couple of times feel more confident. Love the idea the vintage filter because takes you back in time. Great performance of the battery as lasted really long. About the practical way I needed to have some patience as not was. Great colours and i wished had a bag included so can be protected from scratches.

Camp Snap 8 is definitely great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my doubts initially, a video camera that goes back to the 60's, no instant review until you upload it to your phone/PC which is every influences nightmare (they have to check before upload). Unfortunately influenster wouldn't let me upload the video I took, only pics. Great quality, hefty to hold and definitely looks like the cameras from 60yrs ago. Interesting filters. Opportunity to upgrade memory to 128Gb. Easy to charge.

A camera that changes the way you experience unforgettable memories
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Campsnap CS-8 is compact in size but has a huge impact on the way you experience unforgettable events and then reliving them. No screen gives you the freedom to take part and live in the moment, and then reliving it by plugging in to watch the videos. The build quality is great, my dad was taken back to the cameras he grew up around compared to me at the same age with smartphones and digital cameras. Its simple to set up and use with everything as switches from ratio, filters, zooming all over the camera. It gives you everything you need to not just make good videos with non-compromising quality but the bonus of living in the moment and not living it through a screen.

Perfect for capturing life’s special moments
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a photographer, I loved using the CS-8 digital video camera alongside my recent gender reveal shoot. The super 8 design gives it a unique, retro feel, while the screen free experience encourages you to stay present and enjoy the moment rather than constantly checking footage. I also love that it comes with a built in memory card with an option to add another. As well as the fact that it’s so simple to connect to the laptop. It’s lightweight, fun to use and creates a real sense of anticipation when reviewing your clips later. Perfect for capturing memories with a nostalgic twist.

The Camp Snap 8 is a simple, nostalgic camera that delivers distraction-free filming
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Camp Snap 8 is a fun, nostalgia-driven Super 8-style digital video camera that keeps filming simple and distraction-free. With no playback screen, you're encouraged to stay in the moment, while built-in filters save time in post-production. It's easy to set up, ideal for technophobes, offers switchable aspect ratios, good battery life, and includes a generous 4GB SD card (upgradeable to 128GB). There are a few compromises: audio quality is basic (though a 3.5mm mic input helps), it’s too large for most pockets (but i guess that's the point?), and no carry case is included. My Samsung S23+ also failed to recognise the camera via USB despite the manual stating phone transfers are supported. Still, its dedicated, distraction-free design is exactly what makes the Camp Snap 8 appealing.

Campsnap CS-8 digital video camera 📹
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely this video camera is designed to emulate the aesthetics and filming experience of a 1970s super 8 film camera 😱♥️ features a screen-free design , requiring users to download footage to a computer to view it similar to analog film ! The camera records in 2.7k resolution and have 5 built-in filters. 🤍I’ve been waiting for this video camera for few weeks but deserve the waiting ! ♥️ Influenster make me a surprise and I found it on the mailbox this morning . I’ m so excited to use it on my holiday and share with you the captures and pictures. The design is so classic but modern on the same time 🕰️ easy to use, come with instructions. The picture quality you can change , the colour tones can go on black&white or natural colour . Have zoom aswell , and the quality of the videos is wow ! Didn’t expect to be so impressed. Really recommend to purchase , you will feel how was the life before you birth! Love it 😻

In love with this camera
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has a fun retro design and is super easy to carry around, i like how lightweight and simple it felt to use for casual filming and travel clips. The controls are straightforward, making it beginner friendly, and the vintage aesthetic makes it stand out . Battery life was decent for short sessions, though video quality works best in good lighting. Overall it’s a stylish and enjoyable camera for capturing everyday moments

Hello Philip,
The supplier has advised for the Campsnap CS-VC8 2.7K Camcorder- Black: The viewfinder works like a classic film camera, letting you compose your shot with an authentic analogue-style viewing experience. Instead of looking at a screen, you frame your photo through the viewfinder, looking directly at what you want to capture. Helping you stay present in the moment and focused on the scene around you.
Thank you for using Q&A.
