Awesome but minor flaw.
I would love to give this thing 5 stars because it checks all the boxes I was looking for.
Small,compact and portable.
USB C charge
Can transfer files directly from the camera to a phone via usb C
Or use a card reader for the SD card.
And the built in filters are okay. As I expected. The retro and standard are most used for sure.
The only issues I’m finding with the camera is if you do connect it to your phone. And it dies. It won’t charge. Because when you plug it in it’s thinking it’s being read by usb device and not charged so the battery needs to complete a cycle Out or something. Because when this does happen to me it will stay dead and won’t take a charge for about a day. But it I let it sit unconnected for a while(about 12hours) and plug it bag in its then recognized as a charger and will charge.
This is the only glaring issues I’ve found with the camera .
Bigger battery would be nice
And flash is an un needed gimmick

Hi Robbie,
Thanks so much for the thoughtful and detailed review — we really appreciate you taking the time to share both what you love and where you think we can improve.
We’re glad to hear the size, portability, USB-C connectivity, and built-in filters are all hitting the mark for you. That’s exactly the kind of simple, flexible setup we aim for.
As for the charging issue you flagged — that’s incredibly helpful feedback, and we’re already passing it to our product team to investigate further. Your workaround (letting it sit unplugged before charging) is a great observation and will definitely help others in the meantime.
Appreciate your suggestion on the battery and your thoughts on the flash too. We’re always listening — and shaping future models based on feedback just like this.
Thanks again for your honesty and support!

Cool alternative to disposable film camera
Took a little while to dispatch after ordering, but happy with the camera. I got 2 snap faces, which is cool to switch them up, and I like the different filter options. I used to spend a lot of money getting photos developed for my point and shoot - so this is a great alternative.

Amazing Customer Service
I ordered my V2 camera after a family member had one and they couldn’t stop talking about it. I ordered it on the Wednesday and it was delivered by the Friday. Brilliant service!
The website was super easy to navigate and there were so many different colours to chose from, I went with the blue snap, I love it! My 12 year old son loves it too and is always taking pictures when we’re out and about.
Overall customer service was fantastic, communication clear and I already can’t wait for V3!

Really loving my experience so far with my Retro Snap. Nice and easy to use and the hand strap is super helpful. Good range of filters loaded into the camera too. The changeable snap faces are a sweet touch, can’t wait to get some more 🤘

Exceptional Experience with RetroSnap Cameras!
I recently purchased a vintage camera from RetroSnap Cameras, and the entire experience was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I landed on their website, I was impressed by the clear, detailed descriptions and high-quality images of their extensive product range.
The ordering process was seamless, and I was kept informed at every stage of my purchase. My camera arrived promptly, meticulously packaged to ensure it was in perfect condition. The product itself exceeded my expectations — it was exactly as described, and the quality was exceptional.
What truly sets RetroSnap Cameras apart is their dedication to customer satisfaction. I had a couple of questions about my camera, and their customer support team responded promptly with friendly, knowledgeable advice, ensuring I got the most out of my purchase.
If you’re a photography enthusiast looking for a reliable source of high-quality vintage cameras, look no further than RetroSnap Cameras. Highly recommended!

The camera was defective on arrival
The camera was defective on arrival. I contacted them and have been ignored. I have been left with no option but to start a PayPal claim against them.
Whilst busily ignoring my email they have instead spent their time sending me emails asking me to upload my snaps, which is impossible on a broken camera and sending me trustpilot invitations to review them.
I think they are living in cloud cuckoo land?
I can't review the camera itself as it has never worked, but looking at the quality of the build, it's not worth £15 let alone £65.
Avoid just because of the customer service never mind the product itself.

Great product and customer experience
Only have good things to say about Retro Snap - quick delivery, great customer service when I contacted them with a query after ordering, and the product itself is spot on. Looks great, fun to use and great picture quality. Myself and my kids have all used it and captured some great snaps along the way. Looking forward to taking it on holiday this summer 📸

Just don’t buy it
Just don’t buy it. This is not the same company as Capm Snap — they simply copied the idea and offer poor service. There is zero communication from their support team.

an excellent first camera for a budding photographer
I got this camera for my daughter and she absolutely loves it, adding her own filters and getting her into photography, she loves the anticipation of connecting the camera to my laptop and seeing her handywork on the big screen!

My teenage kids absolutely love them...
My teenage kids absolutely love their Retro Snaps, they get to see what it was like back in the 80's when you could take pics without instantly seeing them ignoring them. Great product for the price, we are going to customise some snap faces for fun too!

Hi Scott,
Love this — thank you! It’s amazing to hear your teens are enjoying a taste of 80s-style photo fun (minus the perms and mixtapes). We’re all about slowing things down and making every snap count, so it’s great to hear it’s resonating.
Customising Snap Faces sounds like a brilliant idea — can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Thanks again for the support,

A brilliant throwback experience
I ordered a Retro Snap Camera after seeing the ads on Instagram. I used the SnapFaces discount code from the pop-up on the Retro Snap website and got two free SnapFaces. I went for teal, blue, and purple!
We took the camera out on a family day over the weekend and I’m honestly really impressed. My kids (10 and 5) loved using it too. Because it’s screen-free, they weren’t distracted or constantly checking the photos, they just focused on capturing the moment.
When we got home and uploaded the photos (which was super easy), we were excited to finally see what we’d taken. A very nostalgic experience for me, like a sped-up version of waiting a few days to get photos developed at the local pharmacy, when we used to use disposable cameras back in the day!
The camera has 5 built-in filters. The 'Retro' filter is definitely my favourite, this style is a near-perfect comparison to those developed on a disposable.
It’s been a great way to get the kids off screens while still being creative; they’ve had so much fun.
Definitely recommended if you’re after something a bit different and fun to use.

Thanks so much for such a detailed and heartwarming review — we absolutely loved reading this! It’s brilliant to hear how much you and your kids enjoyed using the Retro Snap on your family day out. That screen-free focus and sense of anticipation is exactly what we were aiming for — bringing a little nostalgia and creativity to a new generation.
Teal, blue, and purple Snap Faces? Strong choices! And we’re right there with you — the Retro filter is a classic.
Thanks again for the recommendation and support. Here’s to many more moments captured, the old-school way 📸💜
