Hi. I'm contemplating on getting one (v103b). I was wondering if after using it for quite a while, you would all still recommend one to buy? Or just using a phone with an app to retrofit the image should be enough that you should just save your money. Thank You.

If it is about saving money - and getting much better image quality - just use your phone.
There is nothing unique about the image quality or look from the CampSnap.
It is all about the user experience - it feels like you are using a disposable camera - and the fact that you cannot check the pics you've taken until you download them. So you take a pic and move on instead of taking lots then start sifting through them to see if you need to take another.
The original intention was to give to your kids on camping trips etc. I still use mine occasionally but pretty much only if I'm going for a short walk w my dogs and don't have a film camera loaded.
I much prefer taking a p&s film camera than this, as I like the results more.

Is there going to be a steel rim reissue CampSnap? Or maybe just a Safari version?

I just got one of these on a whim after seeing a friend's photos on a vintage car rally. Got it today and after playing with it for a bit, I had the strong feeling that I wish there were more (better) cameras available in this form factor. I just love it. So casual, easy, small, and holdable.
Haven't downloaded images yet, but am looking forward to seeing them once I take more (and my 2.5 year old takes a bunch as well).

Nice! Did you get the latest version w the on/off switch so you don’t use the shutter button to turn it on?

Yep! Very nice. Also nice to be able to switch into flash mode quickly.

There are a few other cameras with similar design/features. I think one is made in England: the "ONE35". It has even less resolution (4.4MP). But fun quirks like a 27 image limit and you have to digitally "reload" the camera, a 24hr "development" time for the images before you can see them, etc. Also the "paper shoot" has been around for awhile.

Ok so the big question is…. How is the shutter lag? Because the previous one used the shutter button to turn the camera on/off, there is lag so it can figure out what you are doing.
Is that lag gone?

love the car. Here's what Perplexity says about it
This vehicle represents a pristine example of American automotive design from the 1960s golden age. The 1963-1964 Chevrolet Impala combined elegant styling with practical functionality, creating a design that has remained timelessly appealing for over six decades. The distinctive triple round taillights, clean lines, and overall proportions visible in this photograph exemplify why the Impala became one of America’s most beloved and recognizable automobiles. Whether this particular example is a standard Impala or the more rare Super Sport variant, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic American automotive design and the dedication of enthusiasts who preserve these automotive treasures.
Here's chatGPT's take on
The car in the original image you linked (and just uploaded) is a Chevrolet Impala, specifically a 1963 Chevy Impala.
Identifying Features:
• Triple round taillights on each side — a signature Impala trait in the early ’60s.
• The “IMPALA SS” badge on the rear panel indicates this is the Super Sport (SS) version.
• The flat rear deck, chrome detailing, and the distinct horizontal crease below the taillights are all characteristic of the 1963 model year.
This particular car is a favorite among classic car collectors and lowrider enthusiasts.

I have plenty of serious gear, so the minimalist Camp Snap is refreshing. When I go out, I shoot for group chats and personal IG, so I just use whatever that's easy and fun.
I always edit the jpgs. If they turn out decent, nice. If they don't, no biggie.

Shutter lag is...bad? The time between when I press the shutter and when the "shutter sound" goes off is like 0.5 - 1 second. I'm not sure when it's actually taking the photo though, I'm just assuming it's when the sound goes off.

Ok so they haven’t changed that. Bummer.
