Ever since publishing our Camp Snap Pro review, we’ve been monitoring what’s been going on with the brand. The Camp Snap cameras are screenless digital cameras designed for photography-first and to get away from algorithms and such. The community is also very hacker-friendly and they enjoying modding the cameras when they can. So we’ve updated our review, and the full update text can be found below.
Update December 2025
After updating the Phoblographer’s Camp Snap original review, I decided to do the same glow-up to the Pro. With the original, also called the V105, you can apply filters from companies like Camp Shades and others like CodesThings. But if you try to apply them to the different settings on the Camp Snap Pro, they don’t work. When we asked Camp Snap founder Brian Waldman about this, he said that they won’t be compatible because the Pro uses a different processor. However, he pledged that he’s working on solving the problem.
In the meantime, he told me to try creating my own filter using the Camp Snap filter website. So I tried a workaround: taking the filters I downloaded, uploading them to the conversion website, and then re-exporting them for the Camp Snap Pro. But nothing worked.
I’m anxious for more, though. The Camp Snap camera experience is some of the most fun that I’ve had as a camera reviewer in nearly 20 years, and I love that it’s so simple and yet so hacker-friendly. Plus it’s small, affordable, and something that you actually want to bring around with you all the time. The other camera brands could really learn from them.
I’ll update this review again once a solution comes out for making filters work for the Camp Snap Pro or if any really good filters get released specifically for this camera.
