Haru Mini retro camera takes on Kodak Charmera with a 20MP sensor in tiny retro SLR body

The camera is equipped with a 20MP sensor that can also record 2K video. As with the Kodak Charmera, the combination of a tiny sensor and a relatively slow lens results in fairly modest image quality, as the sample photos embedded below illustrate. That said, the look can be adjusted via a range of filters.

Photos are saved to a microSD card and can be transferred to a computer via a USB-C port on the bottom. The Haru Mini Retro Camera can also be used as a webcam via USB-C. Hansmare further specifies a battery life of 65 minutes.

Price and availability

The Hansmare Haru Mini Retro Camera is currently only offered in Japan for the equivalent of roughly $40. In other regions, the camera is only available via import on platforms such as Zenmarket.
