I don’t even know what to call this camera, as the brand name on the box says, “Generic”. Well, that will make searching for this camera easy…not.

I saw it after all the fuss with the Chuzhao. That was a quirky digital camera, and this one seemed to be along the same lines. Just like the Chuzhao, it can be found on various online selling platforms. One of those is Amazon, which lists a few technical details…

It is fun to look at and fun to use, but how were the photos? I took the camera to Derwent Dam on a cold and rainy day, because that is all we have had recently. I have wanted to visit the dam for a while, and the rainy weather, despite being annoying, meant it was in full flow. Yipee!

I would say the results were exactly as expected, a cheap webcam. It also takes video, and can switch between monochrome, sepia, and lithograph for some reason 🙂 I did try them out in the camera when it first arrived, but forgot on this trip.

Well, that was interesting, and I have now tried this camera, so you don’t have to. If you did want to choose between this and the Chuzhao, I would say this one seems to have better video. Overall, I think the Chuzhao was the better experience.

And now I think I might sell or give away both 🙂

As for the dam, loved it and will go back on a dryer day for a cycle. Of course, I took a couple of film cameras, but you will have to wait for those photos.
