This camcorder is very user-friendly, easy to change settings/filters, makes you present in the moment without a phone, and all the nostalgia we were looking for. Being able to make our own "home videos" that both my wife and I watch of us as kids has been amazing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use the Super 8mm analog filter most often with the 16x9 cinematic aspect ratio. I brought on a camping trip and used the filter to film b-roll footage of some rural areas. Perfect for filming horror movies if you're going for an exploitation look similar to a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" astheitc. My ONLY nitpick, it that there is no focus pull, which defeats the purpose of even having zoom buttons.

I recently went on a vacation where I was able to leave my phone at home and only use my new Camp Snap video camera and camera. What a delight and relief to be without my phone for a time. I really like the STD filter (def my fave) and the analog filter (although I've learned it's pretty soft so I don't use it when I'm wanting someone to be super in focus). The other two filters aren't to my liking but that's ok.
My only negative feedback on this that (not always but mostly), at the start of the video, there's a little deep pitched click, which I assume is made when the trigger is pulled. I wish there was a way to make that not happen. My other feedback is the trigger sticks so that I have to push it forward with my finger to stop the video.

I couldn’t be more inlove with the CampSnap products even if I tried. I now own the most fun approach to my creative flow in my work day. Everyone talks about it and everyone loves it. I shoot film and Super8 - although I stay true to the analog process, these products have created one more layer of immediate fun that adds to the aesthetic in 35mm and super8. Thanks.

We run The Traveling Twosome (www.TheTravelingTwosomeShow.com) and have added the CampSnap CS-8 to our mix of cameras this year. We run a radio show that has the vibe of a classic 1980s FM morning show and we produce retro style videos, as well. Adding the CampSnap CS-8 to our lineup of cameras lends an air of authenticity to our productions while still allowing us to easily utilize modern post production techniques with ease. The built in filters are better than I expected, to be honest. And the simplicity of the CS-8's design is the icing on the cake. We will definitely be using the CS-8 in many of our productions as this camera exceeded our expectations! OUTSTANDING and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We are eager to promote this camera to our fans when they ask!

I bought this because I loved staying present and being surprised by the moments we record. I used this camera to get our guest POV of our wedding reception, family events, and slice of life moments. It’s very nostalgic, aesthetic, and I always love how it feels to look back on what was recorded.

Put your phone down and stop living outside the moment, for real. Forget asking others, grab one for yourself. Trust me, the analog filter is the best and will make for a great contribution for my crews filming going forward.
