Features
Read full description

Dreamcore Cam is a camera for quiet, real moments—and for seeing how two moments can meet in one frame. THREE FILMS, THREE MOODS Choose from three film simulations, each with its own color, grain, and mood. UNEXPECTED PAIRINGS Half-Frame and Double Exposure bring two moments together, creating a composition you could never fully plan. A FRAME FOR TWO With Duo Plans, you and a friend take one half each. Different places and perspectives meet in one shared photo. ONE SECOND MORE Each photo keeps a one-second motion clip to revisit or weave into a film.
