From their website:

Long-Lasting Battery – Snap for days on a single charge

I feel they really missing out with their lens design, just put a few mock rings to make me believe stuff.
I want a lever too, digital cameras should have more levers.
Name is pretty awful though - Echolens? Was Optoglass taken?
Edit - if you look at the images on their site, the quality is way worse than the Camp Snap!
They definitely have the look of images from 80s and 90s disposable film cameras, especially when using the built-in flash. So in that sense, calling them nostalgic makes perfect sense.

I don't even think those pics were taken w the camera. Does the camera actually exist? I know it is a Kickstarter which always works out so great...
