Now that you have a pair of the Camp Snaps, I'll offer you two hundred bucks for your M10R.

So I dug out a Gordy strap, and it looks just swell on my green Camp Snap.
People have stopped me dead in my tracks and asked if the CS is a Leica. I showed them the lack of back screen, and said it is basically a Leica M11-D. (I may have forgotten to use the word 'basically'). Just a little cheaper. And does not scratch film...

To sum up, this thing blows highlights like Kamala Harris' campaign blows through cash.
The standard profile is very warm and has a green tinge - so I adjust that in LR.
As people have mentioned, add a little grain to make it seem less super sharpery.
At the sale price of 40% off it is/was a crazy deal. It still is frankly a great deal at $65 for a brand spankin' new digicam that is just like a Leica w no screen. Except unlike a Leica, mine have not frozen...

Tempting but I first want to try out my theory that people will ask if my M10r is one of those new Camp Snap cameras everyone is tick tocking about.

Now you know why you can't buy any black dots.

FYI you can get 140 Camp Snap cameras for the price of one measly M11-D.

Way to blow up this thread, Huss!! (I had no doubt that you would.) Great images and stories.
FWIW, if you said the photos were taken with an M11D, I would not question it!!

The Huss results are very Hussian, right up the alley.

I would say that the Camp Snap is the closest to a film camera feel out of any digital camera.
Because it is just as cr@ppily made as a cheapo single use film camera, and it looks and feels exactly like one.
ok, to be fair, it's not exactly cr@ppily made, it feels as it should given the design brief. And the colours available are fun. The lens on it is way better than on any disposable camera, and it does have AE based on variable ISO and shutter speeds. Aperture seems fixed at 2.8 (makes sense as there is no moving aperture mechanism) whereas metadata now shows the top shutter speed to be 1/2000. And judging by frozen drops of water when I took snaps of Riley playing in the ocean, that seems correct.
I am enjoying it and I think the biggest compliment I can give it is as primarily a film shooter - I still way prefer using a film p&s or zone focus camera like my Konica C35 EF3 (if I'm not using fancy film cameras) - these Camp Snaps are a blast and already I have taken way more pics with mine than I have with my Leica M10r or Nikon Z7 in the past few months!
Any criticisms have to be balanced out with the $65 new price tag, the really fun experience and the fact that this is exactly what the creators have said it is, and what it's intended purpose is. I just wish it did not occasionally blow highlights to completely blank white with yellowish borders - film would never do that. But again - $65 digital camera.
This camera being super light weight plastic with no moving parts will I'm sure survive a fall much better than my Leicas, or Nikons (baring the Nikonos tank), or Minoltas etc. Your smartphone WILL take much better pics, but I've never enjoyed using a phone to take pics, it just doesn't feel right to me. And frankly isn't fun. The Camp Snap feels like you are using a 'camera' and again the lack of screen is a bonus because you don't keep clicking away, reviewing what you just took, and it is fun to see what happened when you download them later.

ok, one legit criticism of the Camp Snap. Why is the vf a blurry bulbous blob? My $25 Reto Ultra Wide and Slim has a crystal clear vf in comparison.
