Xiao Liu's $120 Rewindpix is an oddity even in an age of offbeat cameras: it's digital, but there's no screen. You shoot your way through a 36-shot virtual roll before you can look at the set. It's otherwise a low-end toy camera with a cool retro design, a large viewfinder, a dial to apply retro film simulation filters, a cold shoe and the shutter button. There's even an old-timey nylon winder to go to the next shot.

Rewindpix reduces the tedious post editing process when try to pursuit the film looks. Through the companion app, you can fine tune the color and create your own filters. Load them as a roll of "film" before the shot and achieve your desired "film" looks right out the app, zero post editing needed.

Tech specs: 1/3" 13MP Sony sensor, fixed-aperture f2.2 35mm-equivalent lens with a 43mm filter ring, xenon flash, WiFi and USB C, and a "camera mode" if you just want to keep shooting until an SD card is full. It weights 185g and is 110x65x22mm.

Seems very much like a faster Camp Snap, the same basic idea with less features.

Phoblographer's Feroz Khan loves it. Four stars!

The camera makes you want to shoot with it more and more, and that's an achievement for something that isn't designed to keep you intentionally addicted. In a world where we shoot and immediately review on an LCD, where you want to upload pics right away to social media for dopamine hits, and where you are finding yourself shooting umpteen frames of the same subject for no reason, Rewindpix makes you change all that. It brings back the anticipation and the valuing of each and every click.
