Camp Snap has shrunk its retro digital camcorder to about three inches tall. The CS-8 Micro costs $39.99 in the US, according to Urban Outfitters. It comes on a keyring with a memory card and a USB-C cable, so it can go from bag charm to clip recorder without carrying a separate camera bag.
A screen for framing
According to The Verge, the Micro records at 720p and its LCD works as a live viewfinder. Review footage by transferring it over USB-C or removing the included 4 GB microSD card. The camera is due November 17 at 11 a.m. Eastern through Camp Snap, Target and Urban Outfitters.

The Micro and the Mini are different cameras
Camp Snap teased the smaller cameras in an early-November Instagram post. The Mini is the larger model, with 2.7K video and a screen-free workflow. The Micro trades resolution for a keychain body and a live viewfinder. It comes in a blind box, so the color is a surprise.
