This is definitely a novelty item, but it’s a fun one! The camera is tiny and easy to carry around, and while it’s not professional quality, it does take pretty decent photos and videos for what it is. Great for capturing little everyday moments. Don’t expect DSLR quality—but for the price and cuteness? It’s a win!

いやあ、素晴らしいです。
知らないメーカーのトイカメラだと思ってちょっと心配していたら、ここまで出来が良いなんてびっくり。
レトロで可愛くて、ミニチュアなのにチープさがありません。
しかも写真もビデオもちゃんと撮れます。
思わず人に見せて話をしたくなるような出来で、大満足です。
良い点
・何より可愛くて、見栄えがよくてチープさがない。
・オートフォーカス機能があり、1080Pで写真、ビデオまで撮れる。
・画質が良い。トイカメラとは思えない写りの良さ。
・ビューファインダーLEDも鮮明で綺麗。
ビューファインダー画面を写真に撮って拡大するとさすがに荒く見えますが、3cm角のファインダーで見る分にはとても綺麗です。
・操作性がシンプルで分かりやすい。
特に、ジョイスティックが飾りではなく、回すことで録画開始になるのも、ファインダー
のカバーを開けて上から覗いてシャッターを押すのもマニア心をくすぐります。
（録画開始はボタン操作でもできます）
・メモリとして16GBのmicroSDカードが実装されていました。
・USB-Cケーブルで充電も写真データの読み出しもできます。
なので、SDカードをいちいち抜き差ししなくてもPCに接続してデータの確認、保存ができます。
気がついた点
・フォーカスが中心なので写したいものはできるだけ真ん中に。
・手ブレ補正はないので、ビデオは動かさないように撮らないと、再生時画面酔いします（笑）
以前から二眼のミニチュアカメラが欲しくて、ローライフレックスのミニデジを探してました。
でも、中古でも６、７万円するし、画質も良くなさそうなのでためらってました。
それに比べてこのCHUZHAOのミニが8,000円弱で買えるなんて文句なし。
カメラ好きなら撮って良し、触ってもよし、飾って眺めてもよし。
持っておいて後悔しないと思います。

This is a fabulous toy camera, a digital brother to Holga and Diana cameras. A twin lens reflex is a refreshing and fun change from eye level photography. Look at the world from waist level. It’s an easy camera to use. The black and white function is a nice addition and the quality of b&w images is surprisingly good. Nice and lightweight, easy to pop in bag. With some care this plastic body camera should last a long time. Video mode takes silent movies like an old super 8 camera. Square image format is very nostalgic. Don’t expect this camera to take pro quality images, it’s a toy! And it’s really easy and just a blast to use. Worth every penny, I’ve already gotten so much joy out of using this camera. And be prepared for everyone to ask about your little camera, it’s a a real conversation starter too.

If you’re into vintage cameras for the vibe and you can snag this for around $20 like I did, go for it. It’s a cute little old-school-looking camera that actually takes photos and videos and even has a tiny speaker. Honestly, the quality is probably worse than the actual vintage camera it’s trying to replicate. Basically, it’s a cheap security cam stuffed into a retro plastic shell, so don’t expect mind-blowing results. You can shoot black and white or color pics, or black & white or color video with sound. It does have auto focus or manual. It comes with a 16GB micro SD card and a USB-C to A charging cable (but you can’t transfer files through the cable, you’ll have to pop the card out). You can purchase a USB-C to A data cable and plug in the camera and transfer your files that way too. You can preview photos and play videos right on the camera too. Bottom line: get it on sale, enjoy the nostalgia, have fun shooting cute photos, and keep your expectations low.

OK, so this is by far the coolest camera I’ve ever purchased! I was a little hesitant because there were other bad reviews. People are saying it’s more like for fun and it’s a lot like a toy but I disagree. This camera is great for taking vintage pictures and videos. It’s so cute and the amount of people that are like oh my gosh I love your camera is that real and I’m like yes! And they think it’s so cool! But I also think it is so cool! And you can go back and look at photos which I love! I have never noticed anything with bad lighting. It takes great photos in the darker, lighting and outside! Super user-friendly , I haven’t even charged it yet because it holds charge for such a long period of time. And so far it’s been super durable, I’m actually pretty clumsy and I’ve dropped it a few times and nothing has messed up. Obviously you shouldn’t intentionally do that, but I’ve carried it with me while I traveled, and , it has stayed put together very well. Just like new highly recommend this kind of camera if you just want some thing, fun and small to carry around with you it also comes with a carrying strap which is great. I just put it around where my purses and I carry it with me that way. Not to mention that this thing is so freaking tiny that you could almost put this in your pocket and it would be a great fit! Now I’m unsure of how many photos and videos it holds. I take a lot of pictures with this thing so so far it hasn’t run out of storage I would say I’ve taken about 200.

This is a real tragedy. This “camera” could really have been something special, which is the distinct impression you get from the promotional materials. It it is not unfortunately.
The design is superb. It is truly a wondrous little device to look upon. But it is in actuality a toy. It is not even remotely acceptable in build quality for the price they are charging. It should be ten, maybe fifteen dollars. It’s very very very cheaply made and thus should have a cheap price.
And this is truly a shame. Because I would actually use this as a primary photographic device if it were even close to being capable of standing up to being used, even casually. It is a plastic toy essentially. The cover of the view finder is a good example. It is cheap plastic and is dependent on an absurdly small plastic ridge for closure that will certainly wear out and fail very quickly (see photo). And after considering it, I can’t see a way to repair it if it fails.
I’m really and truly disappointed in this device. There is really nothing like this camera on the market today that I know of. If the company who made it had decided to actually produce a quality device, with a serious build quality, I would have been happy to pay 3 or 4 times as much.
As it is, I’m sadly going to return it.

This Chuzhao vintage mini digital camera is seriously adorable—love the retro vibes! 😍 It’s super tiny, which makes it fun to carry, but because of that, recording video can be a bit shaky if you move around too much. Still, such a cute little gadget!

I love this little camera! The images I get with this camera capture the feel of a moment, although they are not super high quality. I bought this camera because it looked fun and it lives up to the hype! It is very fun! Super tiny and easy to take in any bag with you. The images tend to be blown out if it’s too bright outside or very, very dark if the lighting is dim. But, with some editing I’ve gotten some great images.

This plastic TOY digital camera has strong vintage vibes and is worth the price. It’s easy to use, and the top-down waist-level viewfinder makes it surprisingly fun to shoot. The JPG photos are square (perfect for Instagram) and the image quality is pretty much exactly what you want for a TOY camera. I’ve attached a few example photos. The limited dynamic range means that the sky will often get “blown out” to white, but that’s part of the retro-digital charm. Autofocus and shutter speed – neither of which you have any control over – work well enough to (usually) produce non-blurry images.
