Kodak brand licensee Reto Productions initially shared three teasers on its Instagram, showing off the upcoming Snapic A1 camera. The camera is now officially available for pre-order.
Reto's first post about the Snapic A1 featured a single shot of the camera, followed by sample photos claimed to be taken with the new device. It also shared a brief video of the camera, highlighting some of its features before fully unveiling the camera.
Screenshots of some of the features highlighted in the teaser Reel.
The Snapic A1 is a plastic point-and-shoot film camera with a textured handgrip and integrated flash. Reto says it offers auto loading and advancing, auto rewind and auto flash, making it a good option for beginners or anyone who wants an easier experience. It also provides a multiple exposure function to enable double exposures.
The camera features an LCD screen that shows battery life, focus range and flash settings. It relies on zone focusing, with a ring on the front that allows users to change the zone between 0. 5 to 1. 5m (1. 6-4. 9') and 1. 5m (4. 9') to infinity. It offers a shutter speed of 1/100s. Reto specifies that it uses a 25mm, 3-element glass lens with an F9. 5 aperture. It's a compact and lightweight camera, weighing just 117 grams (4. 1oz) and runs on two AAA batteries.
It's important to note that although Eastman Kodak is regaining control over some of its film distribution, this camera is not produced by Eastman Kodak. Instead, it's made by Reto, a Hong Kong-based company that has been a brand licensee of Eastman Kodak since 2022. Reto is also the company behind the affordable yet entirely plastic Kodak Ektar H35 line of half-frame film cameras.
The camera comes with a pouch and neck strap.
