The Dinooh is a digital compact camera crossed with a… Game Boy?
This Kickstarter camera is another cheap ‘digital film’ compact, but with a unique twist, and a cute name. The post The Dinooh is a digital compact camera crossed with a… Game Boy? appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
The Dinooh is an innovative digital compact camera, a unique blend of a conventional point-and-shoot camera and a nostalgic Game Boy gaming device. Developed by a California-based company, the Dinooh eschews the traditional screen for a monochrome, Game Boy-style screen that displays dot-matrix animations corresponding to the selected filter. This screen is purely cosmetic, serving no functional role in the camera's operation.
The Dinooh also features a wind-on lever, a design element popular among retro digital compacts from brands such as Fujifilm and Flashback ONE35 V2. The camera's minimalist design draws inspiration from the work of renowned product designer Dieter Rams, known for his collaborations with Braun. The camera is available in beige, with two color trim options - green and red.
The Dinooh is equipped with four digital filters, including 'No Plan' for normal images, 'Late' which appears to be blue, 'Together' for a warm tone, and 'Mono' for black and white photos. Image transfer is conducted via the USB-C port, and the camera does not have app functionality like its competitor RewindPix. Instead, the Dinooh relies on the USB-C port for image transfer. The camera does include a small optical viewfinder and a switch on the front, presumably for activating the built-in flash.
The Dinooh's Kickstarter campaign has not yet officially launched, leaving details such as pricing and full specifications unknown. However, the project has already garnered significant attention, potentially setting a new standard in the realm of cheap screen-free compact cameras.
