Press the power button and a self-test types itself out, a logo and a progress bar go by, and a blue desktop fades in. Open the camera and a modem sings while a "Connecting to camera device" window fills up. After that, it is just a camera. ■ Three lenses · Digicam 640×480 — warm color, soft focus, an orange date burned into the corner · Camcorder DV — scanlines and color bleed, REC and a running timecode on screen · Webcam 320×240 — cool, grainy, low resolution ■ Also in the box · A light-leak switch for one more layer of that era · Photos save as JPEG, video saves as MP4 with sound · My Pictures, Trash and Settings, all in windows from back then · Shutter, film advance and every dialog chime, made to sound like the year 2000 · Stamp your photos with the year 2000 if you like ■ Your photos stay on your device No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Everything you shoot is processed and stored only on this device. ■ English · 한국어 · 日本語 · 繁體中文 © 2026 ConyLab
