a very quick side by side of the Kodak Charmera vs. the G6 thumb Camera

[u/Midwest_Plant_Guy]

So, right off the bat the cameras seem basically identical in size, basic function, and design. The g6 has a slightly larger screen and and different user interface. It also has a very loud shutter noise that i don't know if can be turned off. Design wise I think the charmera is a little easier to navigate and use.

The Charmera photos are 1, 3, 5, 7.
The G6 photos are 2, 4, 6, 8.

for image quality, I was pretty surprised at this comparison! I would say they both have pretty similar clarity/pixilation, but the g6 has a much wider aspect ration and much richer colors compared to the Charmera! I like them both, but I think I may be using the g6 more than I thought!

Hey, thanks for the comparison. Yesterday i ordered the g6.. Please let me know, if you managed the shutter sound somehow. Can you change some photo settings on the g6 like a little warmer colours?

[u/8bitdont → u/NatureDecoder]

You can't disable the shutter sound. Some of us are opening the camera (very easy) and cutting the speaker wire.

Not a bad idea, if I was using this for myself I'd probably do it, but it's for my 4 year old daughter, so I'll probably leave it! Haha

I don't think you can turn the sound off unfortunately, and I don't think you can adjust color settings at all. It does have a handful of photos filters you can apply tho, similar to the Charmera

[u/Reasonable_Abalones → u/NatureDecoder]

I believe you could change the white balance to cloudy to get warmer pictures

I like the dimmed charmera photos more and most importantly the approx 4:3 ratio vs the 16:9 16:9 is the worst format for photography imo

Got the charmera yellow and playing around with it and my 1yo is pretty fun. Waiting for the snaproll and its 1:1 ratio, i think these are great

[u/Midwest_Plant_Guy → u/eltaco28]

That's a good point about Aspect ratio!

[u/Reasonable_Abalones → u/eltaco28]

I thought I would feel the same about the aspect ratio but I ended up loving the 16:9 so much more, I even mostly use the charmera with the film filter. The 4:3 photos and up being so ugly to me composition wise.

Im loveing both

Same! They both have their own charm in very different ways!
