Film cameras have matured as a culture among young people. The inconvenience of not being able to see photos until development has captured the hearts of those living in today's busy world. The process of spending time on a single photo enhances its value. However, once accustomed to the convenience of digital photography, it's hard to go back to the inconvenience of the past. Amidst this, a new disposable camera-style digital camera that blends analog and digital has emerged.
This Release introduces the 'Flashback ONE35' camera project currently underway on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
Return to Old-Fashioned Sensibility, Simple and Cool
Flashback recreates the nostalgia of traditional film cameras. The design incorporates many elements of classic film cameras, such as a viewfinder, winding mechanism, and bright flash.
Recreating Memorable Film Era Photo Experiences with Technology
The most important point. The Flashback ONE35 camera aims to return to a simpler era by eliminating the screen for checking photos. This raises a question: how do you check the photos? Like a disposable camera, you can shoot all 27 photos without needing to develop them. Flashback is a disposable camera-style digital camera. As the name suggests, the photos taken can be viewed on Flashback's dedicated app instead of being developed. However, the photos won't be displayed until 24 hours after all 27 shots are taken. This unique UX design of Flashback shows consideration for users who want to conveniently experience the photo-taking process of the film era.
Sample Photos
Truly a camera that hacks the charm of analog. It seems you can purchase one from $125 (approximately ¥11,600) on the crowdfunding site. Shipping is scheduled for August this year. If you're interested in cutting-edge analog experiences, it's worth trying.
