Our renewed enthusiasm for retro gadgets continues.<\/p>\n
Lola, the self-proclaimed maker of the “world’s cutest digital camera”, is back with a new gadget. Called the\u00a0Lola X Miffy<\/a>, it\u00a0is essentially a redesign of the company’s original compact camera, but with a theme based on the cartoon rabbit Miffy.<\/p>\n As one would expect, this is an extremely adorable camera. It’s blue and adorned with both stars and the iconic bunny. It also ships with a cute wrist charm that attaches to the camera, allowing for easy access when a must-capture moment presents itself. The company says there will be 20 “creative built-in filters, plus exclusive Miffy-themed filters” included, as well as “Miffy-inspired creative effects,” though it’s not yet clear what those will look like.<\/p>\n Beyond all the cuteness, this is a fairly capable digital camera (for a device mimicking a 2003 vibe, that is). It shoots images in 8MP and can handle 4K video recording. There’s 20x digital zoom and a built-in flash. It also includes a 2.8-inch display for checking out footage and making adjustments. There’s a rechargeable battery that connects via USB-C and a branded case.<\/p>\n The Lola x Miffy will be available on July 31 directly from the company and select retail partners. We don’t have a price just yet, but the typical Lola digital compact camera costs around $109. The same goes for collaborations like the Betty Boop branded model.<\/p>\n This is just the latest single-purpose gadget to gain steam with consumers, which some see as shifting sentiment<\/a> against modern tech devices. Old iPods are making a comeback<\/a>, and the same is true of dedicated handheld gaming consoles<\/a> that primarily run retro titles. Minimalist phones, like the Light Phone<\/a>, have also begun to catch on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our renewed enthusiasm for retro gadgets continues.
