You probably remember the cardboard disposable cameras from years ago (they still exist, by the way). The company Paper Shoot has now made a modern version. A paper camera with a 16-megapixel sensor that you can use more than once.

Every camera they sell has exactly the same insides. A 16-megapixel sensor, automatic exposure, four filters and the option to record video (up to 10 seconds) and timelapse footage.


The outside can vary, though. There are various prints to give the camera a different look. There are also more luxurious versions, made from cork, for example, as well as sets with all kinds of accessories.

There is no screen on the back of the camera, so in that respect it does give you the feeling of the old disposable cameras.

Photos are stored on a micro SD memory card (up to 32 gigabytes). The idea is quite nice, but don't expect too much from it. Your smartphone will probably take better photos than this camera.

The cameras are available from 120 dollars. Unfortunately, it appears that delivery to the Netherlands is not yet available, while countries such as Italy and England are supported.
