I really love this gimmicky "retro" camera. The Chuzhau TLR style digital camera has all the right stylings and even a top down viewfinder-like screen. It stays true to the styling taking photos that are square format albeit pretty low quality. I would say that the image quality of this camera is comparable to cheaper webcams available but I think that the unique design and shooting experience makes up for that. The low resolution images created have a old school nostalgic look as well with oversaturated colors and extreme contrast.There is no manual controls for this camera so expect to shoot it on fully auto mode with blown out highlights and pretty bad low light capabilities. The controls are a little confusing at first with 4 interface buttons on the front and a crank dial that also doubles as a focus button. Although you cant manually adjust the exposure of the camera, there is an option to tun off autofocus and just use the crank's button as a focus lock button which is nice for locking focus and recomposing. Holding down the shutter button allows you to record video with sound and cranking the lever seems record video without sound but will keep recording until you stop cranking ending with a short timer. Such a fun little "feature". There is also one button that is dedicated to switching the camera from capturing in full color mode and black and white mode however the camera will always default back to full color mode when powered off and on again.Overall this is more toy than camera. I personally find the gimmicks fun and the shooting experience unique. I love that the photos come out as squares and the camera comes with a small 16gb micro-sd card that you can use to easily transfer the photos onto a computer.The files are so small that the 16gb card should be more than enough. The styling of this camera looks beautiful with a flip up hood and even though the image quality is pretty bad for today's standards, the images produced do have a retro feel to them. It would be awesome to see a company like Chuzhao produce a full sized version of this camera with manual controls and better image quality.

As a gadget it's really pretty nice, if they had made it just a bit larger like the one it's designed to copy, it would have been awesome.I like this thing. It is upscaled to 1080 and 12mp so the picture quality is ok, but not great, That being said, the camera appearance is really nice. I really wish they would have gone a bit further and made it actual size like the original twin lens reflex cameras. They did a great job of replicating the look of the original. It's just a bit small to drop it into the range of a toy.There is nothing wrong with it, it just could have been so much better if it was a little bigger and appealing to a more adult buyer.
