Why a Retro Camera for Your Holiday?
Smartphone cameras perfect holiday photos, but this "perfection" also makes them soulless. The overexposed sunlight, the happy blur on faces, and the Y2K color processing of a retro camera convey holiday moments with genuine feeling.
Waterproof Models
Waterproof models like the Olympus Stylus SW series or Pentax Optio W series are ideal for pools and shallow seas. If you don't have a waterproof camera, you can carry normal models in a ziplock bag.
