Pinkoi has started taking pre-orders for the InstantSnap.novo, the follow-up to the InstantSnap toy camera that found an audience on social media. The new body shifts from vertical to horizontal, sized at 106mm by 60mm by 16mm and weighing 38g, and it now carries a 1.3-inch LCD monitor for framing and instant review.
Three interchangeable viewfinders ship in the box, covering standard, Fibonacci, and rule-of-thirds composition, along with a selfie mirror. Five era filters evoke the 1960s through the Y2K years, and a 35mm film frame is built in for retro shots without app work. The sensor jumps to a 5-megapixel equivalent CMOS, and resolution rises to 2560x1920.
Three colors are available: Pinkoi-exclusive Clear, plus White and Mint. Shipping begins September 7.
